# Extra Information

Standard and Lightning modes

!!! warning "Lightning mode requires a 120 Hz capable monitor"

!!! tip ""

To make use of the Lightning Mode, which unlocks the subscreen and 120FPS, we need to go to the `contents\prop` folder and edit the `ea3-config.xml` file.

We're interested in these lines:

```xml
    <soft>
        <model __type="str">LDJ</model>
        <dest __type="str">J</dest>
        <spec __type="str">A</spec>
        <rev __type="str">A</rev>
        <ext __type="str">2023090500</ext>
    </soft>
```

This is the line that determines if the game will run in Standard (60 FPS) or Lightning (120 FPS) mode.

```xml
<spec __type="str">A</spec>
```

- ^^`A`^^ for Standard (LDJ-003, LDJ, 60 Hz)
- ^^`E`^^ for Standard (LDJ-012, LDJ, 60 Hz)
- ^^`D`^^ for Lightning (LDJ-010, TDJ, 120 Hz)

Changing the game's language

!!! tip ""

This is done in-game before card-in by pressing your `EFFECT` key.
