TROUBLESHOOTING:
Just in case you ran into trouble do the following:
Issue: Double Characters
Solution
Delete this extra mascot folder. Don't worry it's the old one. Leaving only mascot2 and mascotX.
Issue 2: Settings not showing correctly
Solution:
Rename ALL SETTINGS.bat or anything resembles AAA SETTINGS.bat or ALL SETTINGS.bat to ZZZ SETTINGS.bat. Leaving only ZZZ SETTINGS.bat.
Issue 3: Does not start at all.
Solution:
Just copy the settings.conf from the Set\default folder location to the root of project arcade.
Then run the Sual Monitor OFF command in the Settings menu Interface
Hope this will be helpful to all.
If you have other issues, please let us know. We are more than glad to assist.
Have a great day everyone.
