Standard & Lightning modes

Lightning mode requires a 120hz capable monitor.

To make use of the Lightning Mode, which unlocks the subscreen and 120FPS, we need to go to the contents\prop folder and edit the ea3-config.xml file.

We're interested in these lines:

    <soft>
        <model __type="str">LDJ</model>
        <dest __type="str">J</dest>
        <spec __type="str">A</spec>
        <rev __type="str">A</rev>
        <ext __type="str">2023090500</ext>
    </soft>

This is the line that determines if the game will run in Standard (60 FPS) or Lightning (120 FPS) mode.

<spec __type="str">A</spec>
  • A for Standard (LDJ-003, LDJ, 60hz)
  • B for Lightning (LDJ-010, TDJ, 120hz)

Changing the game's language

This is done in-game before card-in by pressing your EFFECT key.
