Hidden Config Files

At romfs\compiled\config, there are two files named game.ini and hacks.ini. These files contain commented debug/config strings as well as witty comments left by the devs.

game.ini

;the master maximum magnitude for stereo effects
;the displacement will fit within -Stereo_Magnitude < displacement < Stereo_Magnitude
;for example, a value of 400 would be ridiculous and displace by a whole screen
;whereas a value of 0 would totally kill the stereo effect.
;I am trying to keep these stereo effects working at the pixel level, so make this an integer
Stereo_Magnitude = 20

;how fast to walk left and right? how fast to hover left and right?
WalkSpeed = 1.0

;how fast to rise when jumping?
JumpSpeed = 3.0

;maximum fall speed
FallSpeed = 2.0;

;consult sir isaac newton
Gravity = 0.10

;how quickly a truncated jump's rise turns into a fall. once the velocity is downward, normal gravity takes over
TurnaroundGravityPostJump = 1.00

;how quickly a naturally topped-off jump (from boost or jump) turns into a fall. once the velocity is downward, normal gravity takes over
TurnaroundGravityNatural = 0.40

;how long (and, ergo, high) to allow a jump before it gets killed.
;JumpTime = 14
JumpTime = 10

;how long (and, ergo, high) to allow a BOOST before it gets killed
BoostTime = 28

;how quickly to move during a boost. turnaround gravity and gravity will apply same as a normal jump once the boost ends.
BoostSpeed = 6.0

;integer: how many ticks it takes to get to the walk speed while youre slipping around on ice
IceWalkAccelerationTime = 90
IceWalkDecelerationTime = 60

;;;;Here are comments about the launch parameters
;;;;But now there are several groups of them
;the total time spent in a launch
;LaunchTime = 20
;i originally chose this a little higher (12) to make some of my test cases work
;but i think that may have been a bit too high of a jump. you will probably have an opinion
;if you want to we can make different launch times for each of the 4 transitions (1->2, 2->1, 2->3, and 3->2)
;this has a lot to do with how you position the launchpads and landing spots relatively with respect to Y position
;a bad launch time will cause you to end up inside collision on the new plane
;the part of the time that the launch looks like a jump (after this it turns to a fall)
;this is sort of subtle but it will affect how high the launch is
;LaunchJumpTime = 4

LaunchTime_1_Fore_2 = 20
LaunchJumpTime_1_Fore_2 = 4

;whether you can launch from a running state (ordinarily only idle is allowed)
AllowRunningLaunch = true

;whether you can get control back after the launch is complete, but before you hit the ground
AllowLaunchEarlyControl = false


;how fast you go immediately after smashing your head from a boost.
;increasing this makes you feel like you are grinding your head against the ceiling. I sort of like it.
;but too much makes you feel sticky.
;it can be larger than boost speed if you want to really do some grinding
BoostHeadGrindFinalSpeed = BoostSpeed

;how many ticks to allow jumps after walking off a ledge
;no other games do this (as far as I know) but for some reason it seems necessary for us,
;and at least one frame may be necessary to account for undesireable code quirks in how the player is implemented
;to achieve parity with other games
JumpLeniency = 2

;how many ticks to register jump button press before executing a hover
;(this will cause you to jump again if you land on a floor immediately after pressing the button)
;(many games have a window before landing where you can press the jump button;
; missing a jump is very annoying; moreso in our game where you hover when you miss it)
HoverDelay = 2

;how long to be stunned after shooting while on the ground

;how far do bullets go before disappearing?
BulletLifetime_level_0 = 120
BulletLifetime_level_1 = 200

;how far can bullets go offscreen before disappearing?
;(this is measured in screen pixels so youll never be able to shoot far off the screen)
;keep in mind that this is a bit odd due to the +/- 20 pixels of stereo effect
;if you choose 0 here, then bullets will disappear while still slightly on screen
;but you wont choose 0 here so it is OK
BulletOffscreenPixels = 32

;how long to let the player hover

;how many ticks the enemy hit effect is shown
EnemyHitEffectTimer = 20

Unused Music

To do: these are two test audio files that are not in a playable format

Found in the games files, there are two files called SEQ_TEST1 and SEQ_TECHTEST. The former audio appears to be a duplicate of the Level 1-1 theme. however, the rhythm is different than the final. While the latter file appears to not play at all.
