[TUTO] Initial D Stage Zero Arcade - how to setup and play (Nvidia & AMD Cards working)

[Invité SilenceMinit]

Very detailed description, I also found my card, but I want to modify it, such as the name. Or grade, because it's really hard to practice

I followed your supositions and finally found that something in windows was already using port 80 (in fact : HTTP.SYS process).

 

I had to do these in the command prompt (run as admin) :

 

net stop http /y

followed by :

 

sc config http start= disabled

Many thanks Kobe for your help.

 

Game is running just fine with 360 controller, just have a weird thing : although MT is selected, I start the race with AT, and if I do shift UP it changes to MT. I can go until the 5th gear, but at that point I cannot shift down anymore^^. I'll try with a logitech G27 or G29, I'm planning to buy one.

 

Oh, also for the card saving, I saw your recommandation :

 

Press start on controller.

Press and hold the "Enter" key on the keyboard. Once the card is created, then to exit properly:

Press 1 on keyboard, then press 2 on the keyboard to navigate the menu, navigate to "System Test Menu" and then Press 1 again to accept. Select yes in next screen. This will exit the game properly.

 

 

But, does it mean the saved card will automatically load with the next start up ?

 

Yes, if you safely exit after creating the card. The next time press enter to show the card, it should use that same card that was created. If you wish to create a new one, you will have to rename C:\SDDF_1.31.00\app\package\DEVICE\felica.txt, this will generate a new ID for your card.

Hello again, after solved the DVD problem I have managed to enter the game.

 

I can only use keyboard to play with since I dont have a wheel. I managed to simulate a joystick using software vJoy + UCR (like the diagram).

 

I managed to solve Turning Wheel Left / Right, Gas / Brake, Shift Up / Down, and pressing Start / ViewChange buttons.

 

However, when I view the segatools.ini file I find out Menu buttons cannot be allocted becoz I dont know abbrev of the Menu buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right)

 

See if anyone here got hints and thanks for help

Are you using a pad or a wheel ? That weird thing with gear shift using my xbox 360 controller makes me crazy. I can't downshift although the key is set up.

Yeah, same issue for me, Kobe46 says it's harcoded in segatools... nothing to do about it, maybe in an upgrade, or TP if Reaver adds it now IDZero is public...

ok, solved this thing, I had to disable autoneutral in segatools.ini.

 

I tried to create my card, I get error 6503 when I press and hold ENTER ("cannot read"). Card read test in test menu works though.

 

I forget to mention, i have error 8008, allnet error at the beginning , but i can play.

 

Édit : oh, i see Kobe had a similar issue, i will try to disconnect network on my computer and see if it wolves the allnet connections error and card reader error.

Well, i tried disconect my computer from the internet, i still get error 8008 (cannot connect to allnet router).

 

I changed the subnet adress to 192.168.100.0, i now get error 8302 at card insertion (server maintenance in progress).

 

I'm lost at that point^^'.

8008 Error indicates that there is an authentication error with ALL.Net. It would be related to your IP Address set or internal network. How is your internal network setup?

 

Computer via ethernet to router, router via ethernet to Modem, modem to Internet connection?

or is it Computer via ethernet to router/modem (one unit), router/modem to Internet?

 

I am just curious as it might be related to something  on the lines of the DNS being or needing adjusting, as well as confirming IP Address.

[HatLoli]

how do i enable freeplay so i dont enter coins everytime

[gojirien]

@Kobe46

 

My network is : Computer -> PLN (power line network) -> router/modem (one unit) -> Internet

 

If i understand correctly, I should plug my computer directly to the modem ?

No need to plug in directly. I just wanted to see how many layers before it hits the Internet. Have you attempted the DNS change on your computer's network adapter settings to use Primary: 8.8.8.8 and Alternate 8.8.4.4?

[gojirien]

Thanks again.

 

Problem solved, i had to change the dns, + allow several things in my firewall (initial d exe, server exe, I even had to relaunch minime and allow it for my firewall.

 

Now everything seems to work properly, allnet ok, and i could create my card.

 

Thanks a lot.

I'm pretty close to getting this running but I've run into an issue. 

 

When running Start.bat I get a black screen that flashes twice but thats it. The cmd window looks like this:

 

 

Minime is up and running just fine. Tried disabling DVD drive already too with no improvement 

[gojirien]

@ItsGoofyTime

 

As i see on your cmd window and as far as I know, your game runs fine.

 

Do you wait enough time when you launch the game ? In my case, it takes between 30-60 seconds for the game to show up on the direct 3d window.

 

Also, once you click on start.bat, do not click elsewhere, as the direct 3d window (actually game window) will turn to black screen immediatly.

[HatLoli]

how can i bind my shifter to the shift up and down function/
wheel is Driving Force GT

 

[Invité petje]

What are the latest version of minime and segatools ?

Any solution for versus play ?

Any solution for 50 % steering on both sticks ?

I would like to have 100% steering on one stick

 

Solution below !

The latest version of minime should be v7 and segatools should be v2 still.

Versus play is still not working.

unsure of what you mean by 50% steering on both sticks? is this in relation to a wheel you have setup? is it only working only on one side? Sorry, trying to understand that last part of question.

Thing is direct3D never opens. When i first click start my entire monitor flashes black once and thats it. No direct3d windows open even if left for 10+ minutes.

50% of steering is on the left stick and 50% is on the right stick of the joystick, check it in the service menu of initial D Zero

If you move just one joystick it will only move the steering for 50% both joysticks need to be pushed to get 100% steering

@vegita8888

 

Glad to see it's working for you

 

Google and especially Kobe were really helpful for me.

 

I followed suggestions from Kobe about network and allnet errors, and found the solutions on google.  Some things can be tricky though, for those Who are not used to use command prompt and to manipulate network/firewall parameters

first day: followed all the steps, game works perfectly.

I am not familiar with the 8304 or 6502 error messages.

I know that 8305 and 8306 are related to the value in segatools.ini for dipsw being set to 0. This should be adjusted to dipsw=1

I know 6503 and 6509 are more related to the card system, either minime is not running or there is an error for it. Need to make sure minime start.bat is running and working as well.

 

Maybe this will help on troubleshooting issue, as they could be related, even though the error is different numbers.

first of all, many thanks Kobe 46. yea im pretty sure all setting are correct. but some how it just stop working since the first day i tried, everything works.

 

i switch to English today so i have the details about the error code:

ERROR 8304 FAILED IN CONNECT(GAME)

ERROR 6503 FAILED IN READING

 

dipsw=1 checked

minime running checked

 

i dont see any other error pop out in the cmd or minime start.bat

 

[Invité petje]

Normaly there is 50% steering on the left stick and 50% steering on the right stick of the joystick

You can check that in the service menu

 

Solution found !

Use Minime version 8 and higher

100% steering on left stick of joystick

@highmanchoi

Are you able to get to test menu at all? even with the error? I just want to confirm if it is booting into the game technically before it errors or if it is before it connects. If it has an issue, you can try the Read-only thing just in case?

[gojirien]

@petje

 

Thanks man, i'll give it a try.

 

Does it interfere with steering wheel or is it totally independant ?

 

@highmanchoi

 

Maybe you can check if your antivirus/firewall/win defender has done something ? 

 

Also does your command window show anything wrong ?

I tried, even shut down my firewall doesn’t help. The funny thing is my first day gaming have no issue. Not just one time play, couple times. But after I shut down my machine and turn it on the second day, problem comes out.

 

@Kobe46

game runs properly except the 8304 failed connect to game and 6502 failed in reading. I can play without saving and no problem getting into the test menu although can’t read a single word from it.

 

i copy down the cmd and minime start.bat code, hoping someone can find out what's wrong in these code.

That's weird, everything seems ok.

The game works great and I can play it but I cannot save. When the "Scan Aime card" screen comes up and I hold enter I get Error 6503. The card reader is said to be working well in the test menu.

[gojirien]

You have the same issue i had. I solved it with firewall permissions, dns settings changed, and by disabling the Http.sys that used the port 80 on my PC.

 

I don't know that's going on with you, of you have already checked all of this.

Thanks Petje,

works OK.

Big problem for me is still no mapping of directional panel (UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT) to DInput devices, so impossible to select a car, upgrade items, name... 

 

Hope they'll fix it in next version...

Sorry if a stupid question, directional mapping is not on the keyboard ?

Steering is analogue stick, moving in menu is D-pad
