Configuration (Features)

Explanations

ARCropolis makes use of a configuration file located at sd:/atmosphere/contents/01006A800016E000/romfs/arcropolis.toml.
This file can be opened with any text editor and is generated on the first boot after installing ARCropolis. However, as of version 3.0.0 of ARCropolis, you can now edit this same configuration file in the configuration editor, found in the eShop icon of Smash's home menu under "Configuration editor." There will be fewer options to change than the raw configuration file, so keep that in mind.

Beta updates

Select whether or not you want to participate in beta updates of ARCropolis, whenever applicable. The next time there is a beta update for ARCropolis, it will ask you to update. They may come with more features, but they also may be more unstable, as they are used to test bugfixes or add new work-in-progress elements to ARCropolis. Only check this option if you intend to use it for its primary purpose. Note that if this is off, the next time ARCropolis is updated with a stable version, it will prompt you to update. Off by default.

Use legacy mod discovery system

Debug

Enables debug mode. Only enable if you know what you are doing. Off by default.

Log to file

Enables ARCropolis to log to sd:/ultimate/arcropolis/logs. The "Logging level" option affects this command. Off by default.

Check for update on boot.

Enables ARCropolis to check the GitHub server for an update to the program. The "Beta updates" option affects this command. On by default.
