 ===== Troubleshooting =====
-Most questions about Demul itself can be answered in their [[https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/blob/master/package/batocera/emulators/demul/faq_en.txt|FAQ]]. To summarize some of the game-specific error codes:
+==== I cannot deactivate "Free Play" in some games ====
-==== NAOMI/NAOMI2 "CAUTION 51. ..." ====
+Emulationstation as of v41 (and current v42_beta) has no switch to deactivate “Free Play” on the NAOMI and NAOMI 2 systems. You have to use Retroarch core settings according to the Wiki, see https://wiki.batocera.org/advanced_retroarch_settings.
-The game requires changing the number of players in the system configuration of the arcade machine. You can do this in the Naomi BIOS system menu. Demul provides automatic adjustment of system parameters to games from the current emulator romset. At the same time, if the settings file with the name of the specified game already exists in the "nvram\" folder, the automatic adjustment will be skipped. To activate it, you need to erase the previously saved settings file.
+Sadly, when setting “Free Play” to “OFF” in this Retroarch menu, the setting is //ignored// by most of the games.
-==== NAOMI/NAOMI2 "CAUTION 53. SET MONITOR FREQUENCY TO 31HZ(15Hz)" ====
+To get this setting accepted, you have to access the "System Menu" of the NAOMI game in question and set "COIN/CREDIT SETTING" to "# 1":
-The game requires switching the video signal output mode with a jumper on the rear panel of the system unit. You can select the required mode in the "Configure->Naomi" menu.
+  - Enter the Retroarch menu (when in game, Hotkey + South).
+  - Go to "Core Options" -> "System"
+  - Set "Allow Arcade Service Buttons" to "ON" and "Set NAOMI Games to Free Play" to "OFF"
+  - Exit the Retroarch menu using "Restart".
+  - When in game, press "L3" to enter the System Menu of the game. "R3" is used to navigate this menu, "L3" to select an entry.
+   - Navigate this way to "COIN ASSIGNMENTS"
+  - Set "COIN/CREDIT SETTING" to "# 1".
+  - Exit the System Menu by selecting "EXIT" twice.
+  - Optionally you can now set "Allow Arcade Service Buttons" to "OFF" to prevent accidental entering of the game's system menu.
-==== NAOMI/NAOMI2 "CAUTION 54. ..." ====
-The game requires changing the monitor orientation from portrait to landscape or vice versa. You can do this in the Naomi BIOS system menu. Demul provides automatic adjustment of system parameters for games from the current emulator romset. At the same time, if the settings file with the name of the specified game already exists in the "nvram\" folder, which was saved earlier, automatic adjustment will be skipped. To activate it, you need to erase the previously saved settings file.
+If "COIN/CREDIT SETTING" is set to "# 1", the game in question will respect the Retroarch setting for "Free Play", even if you set "Free Play" to "ON" in Retroarch again.
