Standard & Lightning modes

!!! warning "Lightning mode requires a 120hz capable monitor."

!!! tip ""

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:

```xml
	<soft>
		<model __type="str">LDJ</model>
		<dest __type="str">J</dest>
		<spec __type="str">E</spec>
		<rev __type="str">A</rev>
		<ext __type="str">2024050700</ext>
	</soft>
```

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

```xml
<spec __type="str">E</spec>
```

Use ^^`A`^^ for Standard, or ^^`E`^^ for Lightning.

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