 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 running ''Play Digimon Tamers - Battle Evolution (Japan).sh'' or ''Play Digimon Rumble Arena (US).sh''. Now, press Alt + Shift + 1, and a prompt will appear at the bottom of the window saying ''Digital Gamepad 1 UP ↑ (1)''. Press which button on your keyboard or controller you want to map up on the dpad to, and it should change to ''Digital Gamepad 1 UP ↑ (2)''. Press that button again to confirm, and it should move on to ''Digital Gamepad 1 DOWN ↓ (1)''. If you get ''Digital Gamepad 1 UP ↑ (3)'', press Alt + Shift + 1 again to cancel controller mapping, and again a third time to restart the controller mapping. Repeat this process for every PS1 button.

 ==== Joining Netplay ====
-Before you join netplay, you'll want to choose which server you'll be using. [[https://discord.gg/wg5j5Npbatevo: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 examplee, 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**.

 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.

+===== New Game Settings =====
+{{ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/906765786717229066/1036177243229126698/unknown.png?500}}
+The netplay pack has new gameplay settings not in the original game, which can be changed in the games normal options menu.
+==== Physics ====
+This setting affects each stage's friction and acceleration values, or put another way, change how the game employs "ice physics". **No Ice** is the default.
+  * **Normal**: The game's physics remain completely unchanged
+  * **No Ice**: "Ice physics" are disabled on Glacier and Reapermon's Den, making them play just like Wilderness.
+  * **All Ice**: "Ice physics" are enabled on all stages, making them play just like Glacier.
+==== Harzards ====
+This setting affects stage hazards, such as the crane on Recycling that drops off boxes, or the boulders that roll out of the cave on Wilderness. **No** is the default.
+  * **Yes**: All stages remain completely unchanged.
+  * **No**: Stages are modified to disable hazards.
+When hazards are disabled, the following changes are made
+  * Garbage Recycling Center
+    * The claw that grabs and drops off boxes has been frozen in place, preventing boxes from spawning, and the stage from opening up.
+    * The moving platforms have been made stationary, for consistency in respawn combos.
+    * Teleporter has been permanently turned off.
+  * Wilderness
+    * Boulders, big and small, no longer spawn.
+  * Revolution
+    * The stage no longer rotates at random intervals.
+  * Sanctuary
+    * The "storm" hazard no longer occurs.
+    * The lighting boxes still move around the stage as normal, however.
+    * At the start of every round, there is a 10% chance that the sky will be dark.
+  * Glacier
+    * The side platforms that break off have been made invincible, so they do not break off.
+    * The falling icicles no longer spawn.
+    * Falling speed has been greatly increased after hitting the icy water, so respawn combos require more strict movement and/or positioning to perform.
+  * Volcano
+    * Lava no longer erupts from the lower parts of the stage.
+    * The "drowning" in lava effect has been removed, greatly reducing damage taken for falling off stage, as well as speeding up respawns.
+==== Items ====
+This setting affects item spawning during gameplay. **No** is the default.
+  * **Yes**: Items spawning is unaffected.
+  * **No**: Items no longer spawn.
+==== Menu Music ====
+Hidden away under "controller setup" is this setting, which changes if the game plays music when in various menus. **Yes** is the default.
+  * **Yes**: Menus have music.
+  * **No**: Menus don't have music.
+==== Menu Commands ====
+  * **Random Character**: On the character select screen, you can press Start to get a random character.
+  * **Random Stage**: On the stage select screen, you can press Start to get a random stage.
+  * **Alternate Skin**: At the map selection screen, press select to get your Digimon's alternate colors. You'll hear a sound effect and see your tamer brighten up. You can return to normal colors by pressing select again.
+  * **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.
