Configuring Sphere.ini

Sphere.ini contains all of the internal options for the Sphere emulator. In order to configure your shard, this is the file you will start with. The file itself is pretty self-explanatory, but in order to avoid common mistakes, we're going to add more explanatory comments throughout the file. Comments and additions/changes will be in bold blue text.

Remember to uncomment every line you're gonna use. Example:

If you want to use additional map2, this:

// MAP2=2304,1600,32,2

Should be this:

MAP2=2304,1600,32,2

And so on, with every setting you want to use (MySQL, AutoResdisp, etc).

Let's check the sphere.ini file!
