- Please support your local arcade if you can!

## How to use
- Get the game somehow and make sure it's clean. (DO NOT ASK ANYTHING THAT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE GAME ITSELF)
- You have 2 ways to setup the game, Automated (recommended) or Manual.

### Automated (recommended)
Automated setup configures the game and downloads WACVR, xxxxtools, and other files for you.  
Thank you to Glub Glub for releasing this!
- Download [Glub Glub setup environment](https://github.com/ArcadeGlubGlub/GameSetup/raw/master/WACCAReverse-GlubGlub.7z) and extract it to a folder.
- Then, follow the `README.txt` file inside to add and setup your game.
- Add a server in `Game\app\bin\xxxxtools.ini` to connect to.
- Once done, run `Launch` shortcut to start both WACVR and the game.

---

### Manual
- Make sure the game properly and uses latest xxxxtools.
- Download [the latest release version](https://github.com/xiaopeng12138/WACVR/releases) or [the nightly version of WACVR](https://nightly.link/xiaopeng12138/WACVR/workflows/build/main/artifact.zip).
- You have 2 ways to connect touch to the game. Please only choose one of them:

#### mercuryio
  - You can find the ``mercuryio.dll`` inside the release file or you can download it [here](https://wacvr.cf/mercuryio.dll).
  - Put ``mercuryio.dll`` into ``bin`` folder.
  - Add ``[touch] enable=1`` to .ini file
  - Add ``[mercuryio] path=mercuryio.dll`` to .ini file.
  - Start the game and WACVR.

#### Serial (not recommended)
  - Download and install [com0com](https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/powersdr-iq/setup_com0com_W7_x64_signed.exe).
  - Configure com0com to bind COM3 and COM5, COM4 and COM6.
  - Enable the ``enable buffer overrun`` option in com0com on both ports of all pairs. Otherwise, your WACVR will crash after the logo.
  - Add ``[touch] enable=0`` to .ini file
  - Start WACVR first then start the game.
  - If your touch is not working, try to somehow go to Test mode then exit Test mode.

- The lighting requires ``mercuryio.dll``. You must set it up to get the lights from the game. If you don't have the lights, please check if you are using the latest xxxxtools and if your LED hook works.

## Configuration
A ``config.json`` file is automatically created in WACVR's root directory on startup.

- You can change this file via the in-game config panel. Please take a step back: the controller pointer will automatically be disabled when the controller is too close to the cabinet.
- You can change ``batFileLocation`` in ``config.json`` to the location of your start.bat file. The start.bat will automatically run when you start WACVR. 
- Some options in ``config.json`` are only the index of the dropdown in the panel.
- You can use the pointer to point the 3rd-person camera and move it to the position you want it to be.

## Building guide
- Current Unity version: 2021.3.12f1
- for mercuryio, just replace files in mercuryio folder with files in this repo.

## Known issues
- Display white screen issue
	- **Solution:** Set game priority in the task manager to real-time may solve this issue. But the best way is just by capturing the entire screen.
