 You can play using a controller, or your keyboard. If you use a controller, be sure to plug in your controller before opening the game!
-Open the game by double clicking on ''Play Digimon Rumble Arena (US)'' or ''Play Digimon Tamers Battle Evolution (US Proto)''. Now, press Alt + Shift + 1, and a prompt will appear at the bottom of the window saying ''Digital Gamepad 1 UP ↑ (1)''.

 ===== Playing Netplay =====
@@ Line 62: / Line 62: @@
 Playing netplay is simple:
-  - Enter a gamekey (or clear it)
+  - Enter a gamekey/lobby code with ''/gamekey //password//'' or just ''/gamekey'' to clear the password that was set
-  - Join a netplay Server
+  - Join a netplay Server with ''/connect //server name//''
-  - Leave, rinse and repeat
+  - Leave the server with ''/quit'' or press ''esc'' to close the emulator completely
-You'll need to run a few commands in the netplay chat bar, which you can bring up by pressing T on your keyboard.

-==== Changing Gamekeys ("Lobby Codes") ====
-Before you enter netplay, you can use a gamekey ("lobby code") to make or join a public or private game.
-To make/join a "public" game, just run ''/gamekey'' to empty out your gamekey. Now you will join with other people also using an empty game key. This is common practice for casual matches in the matchmaking channel.
-To make/join a "private" game, just run ''/gamekey //gamekey//'', where //gamekey// is your "lobby code". You can make it anything you want, like ''rainbows'', ''tacos'', or ''agumon1234''. For other people to be able to join you, just tell them what your gamekey is before they join.
-If you don't run ''/gamekey'' before joining netplay, mednafen will just reuse your last gamekey.

 ==== Joining Netplay ====
-Before you join netplay, you'll want to choose which server you'll be using. [[batevo:netplay_reference#server_list|You can find a list of public servers here.]] When picking a server, you want to pick not the server closest to you, but a server roughly halfway between you and your opponent. For example, if you live on the US east coast, and your opponent lives on the US west coast, then you should play on **tx.yuribacon.com** or **il.yuribacon.com**. When playing internationally, you'll want to pick the server closest to the coast, with one player playing "overseas" with higher input lag than the "local" player. For example, if a North American and European player want to play each other, you should play on either **ny.yuribacon.com**, or **uk.yuribacon.com**.
+Before you join netplay, you'll want to choose which server you'll be using. Commonly used servers are **de.yuribacon.com**, **ny.yuribacon.com** and **uk.yuribacon.com**. [[batevo:netplay_reference#server_list|You can find a list of public servers here.]] When picking a server, you want to pick the server that is halfway between you and your opponent.
-While you're at it, you should also decide if you are playing the US or JP version of the game, since both players must use the same version.
+While you're at it, you should also decide if you are playing the US or JP version.
-Once you have decided on a server, run ''/connect //server//'', where //server//  is the netplay server you'll play on.
-If you'd like to change your name in netplay, run ''/nick //name//'' where //name// is, well, your name. The server should tell you that ''You are now know as <//name//>.''
-----
-==== Quitting Netplay ====
-If you're done playing the game, you can simply close the emulator (the game window, NOT the command prompt!).
-But, if you plan to play again with another player on another server very soon (like when playing in a tournament), you can just use ''/quit'' to leave the netplay server without closing the emulator.

   * **Play Mirror Matches**: To pick the same character as your opponent after they have already selected their character, just hold Select, then choose the same character. This was always part of the game actually, and isn't exclusive to the netplay pack. They just couldn't be bothered to put it in the manual, I guess.
   * **Alternate Tamer**: Some, but not all, characters have alternate tamers that can be selected by holding L1 or R1 while selecting your Digimon. You can see your alternate tamer on the stage select, and in game when you digivolve. This is also part of the original game, and not exclusive to the netplay pack.
+===== Old Versions =====
+Looking for an older version? You can get them here, but they are no longer supported. They are kept around, mostly for the sake of viewing old replays, or if you want to toy with old features that have since been removed.
