Keys and values are stored on a single line separated by = (e.g., KEY=value).
The key and value strings start at the beginning of the line (no spaces or other characters allowed before the key).
Spaces are not allowed between the key and the value.
Comment lines start with ; or # at the beginning of the line.

Settings

Key	Value
MWSDK	Changes the MWSDK folder. The default folder is MWSDK located in the same folder as the TWELITE STAGE APP executable. If you need to use an older or custom MWSDK, you can specify the folder name here.
LANG	LANG=en changes the user interface language from the default (Japanese) to English. This setting is carried over to the make parameter (`TWE_LANG_PREF`) and is reflected in the interactive mode display language setting of some firmware (apps) such as TWELITE_Apps.
GEOM_X, GEOM_Y	Changes the location where the TWELITE STAGE App window appears.

Running TWELITE STAGE APP with Different Settings

If you need different settings for the TWELITE STAGE APP, copy the executable to the same folder as the TWELITE STAGE APP and create an .ini file with the same name.

For example, to use the English interface, copy TWELITE_Stage.exe (note: .exe is the Windows executable extension) to TWELITE_Stage_en.exe and write the setting LANG=en in TWELITE_Stage_en.ini to create an executable with the English interface enabled.

  TWELITE_Stage.exe
  TWELITE_Stage.ini | No special settings

  TWELITE_Stage_ja.exe | Copy of TWELITE_Stage.exe
  TWELITE_Stage_en.ini | LANG=en is set.
