Template:Config/doc

This template is used on all game pages under the ==Configuration== sub-header. The purpose of the template is to capture deviations in configurations from the default settings to be used for the emulator for each game. Hence, while using this template in the game pages, only options which deviate from the default settings are to be recorded. Refer here for the full list of default settings used in the emulator.

Syntax

Below is the syntax of the template. This template must be present for all game pages irrespective of whether any non-default configurations are necessary. Where the game only requires default settings, the template should simply be used without any parameters.

{{config
|parameters =
}}

Parameters

The following are the only valid parameters accepted by this template. Unless mentioned otherwise, choose only one of the options mentioned for each setting. For any setting which deviates from the default configuration, an additional note may be given if required using the notes extension to highlight any necessary information.
