WACCA Launcher
Allows you to run multiple versions of WACCA from the same drive.
Configuration
You'll want a directory structure something like this:
WACCA/
├── WACCALauncher.exe
├── wacca.ini
└── Versions/
├── WACCA/
│ ├── bin/
│ └── ...
├── WACCA S
├── Lily
├── Lily R
├── Reverse
├── Offline
└── Omega Supermix Deluxe
Each version must have segatools already configured, with a start.bat file present.
You'll want to create a wacca.ini file next to the launcher that looks something like this:
[general]
default_ver = reverse
[versions]
wacca = C:\WACCA\Versions\WACCA
wacca_s = C:\WACCA\Versions\WACCA S
lily = C:\WACCA\Versions\Lily
lily_r = C:\WACCA\Versions\Lily R
reverse = C:\WACCA\Versions\Reverse
offline = C:\WACCA\Versions\Offline
Versions can be omitted, but all paths provided must be valid.
If you have a custom version of the game you wish to launch, you may do so by adding
num_customs = 1 under [general], and then adding a block at the end of the file
that looks something like this:
[custom_1]
name = WACCA Omega Supermix Deluxe
path = C:\WACCA\Versions\Omega Supermix Deluxe
type = reverse
type must match one of the versions listed above, it will likely be reverse unless specified.
Usage
When you start the launcher, you will be presented with a loading prompt.
You may press TEST or Esc to open the configuration menu. This menu allows you
to change the default startup version, as well as launch a version manually.
This menu is controlled in the same way you would navigate the in-game test menu.
If you do not interfere with the loading prompt, the selected default version will be launched within 5 seconds.
Auto-launch
You can configure your cab to start the launcher instead of explorer.exe when you log in. This should only be done on a cab. You have been warned.
If you've installed the launcher in the suggested location of C:\WACCA,
you can run SetShell.reg to reconfigure your registry accordingly.
If you have not installed the launcher in the suggested location, you will need to edit the registry file before you apply it. This is important, if the path is invalid, you may get softlocked on a black screen at next boot!
