| 10 | - | A: Thanks to a caster-like program called adonis, the game is actually pretty playable. |

| 20 | + | CONFIGURING ADONIS: |
| 21 | First of all, go into PoFV's key configuration located within the game's options, and make sure the Control Type is set to 'full'. | |

| 23 | [PlayerName] | |
| 24 | - | Q: Okay, so I have adonis, what now? |
| 24 | + | |
| 25 | Change 'NoName' to whatever you want your user name to be. | |

| 26 | + | |
| 27 | It's also worth noting that you'll need to copy/rename your game exe files if you want to have each adonis open the English-patched version of PoFV. Rename th09.exe (Japanese) to something else (like th09j.exe), and copy th09e.exe (English) to th09.exe. The reason for this is that adonise.exe opens th09e.exe and adonis2.exe opens th09.exe. | |

| 29 | RUNNING ADONIS: | |
| 30 | First of all, start up adonis.exe. If you're running Vista, make sure to run compatibility mode for Windows NT for PoFV and Adonis. If you need Applocale to run PoFV make sure you use Applocale to run adonis. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | You'll now be greeted with a command prompt. The basic run down is: | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | s: Host (or h for adonis2) | |
| 35 | - | - |
| 35 | + | c: Join |
| 36 | w: Watch | |
| 37 | - | Q: Right, now that that's out of the way, can I play some games now? |
| 37 | + | |
| 38 | The host will need to input the desired port. Any users wishing to join or spectate will be asked to input the IP address, and then the port (note: only adonis1 supports spectators). If you're using a router, be sure to forward any ports you are using. | |

| 39 | + | |
| 40 | After someone connects, if you're the host, you will need to input the latency. This will be a number between 0 and 9 and will need to be adjusted depending on the ping. Typically, the default value should work fine, although adding 1 can sometimes help with desyncs. | |

| 55 | TROUBLESHOOTING: | |
| 56 | Q: Adonis closed without doing anything! | |
| 57 | A: Try running adonis from a command prompt so that the window doesn't close before you can read the error messages. | |
| 58 | To do this, shift+right click on the pofv folder, and click "open command window here". Then, simply type "adonis.exe" without quotes (or adonise.exe or adonis2.exe) to run the program. If you're using adonis2 or a non english patched adonis, the error message may be in Japanese, but you can google translate or ask a friend to figure out what it means. | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | Q: I can't connect! | |
| 61 | A: The host may be already be playing, stopped hosting or is not allowing any spectators. There's also the possibility of connection problems on the host's side. If this is the case you may want to offer to host instead. | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | Q: My opponent is ramming into bullets and not moving with any coherency, are they really that bad? | |
| 64 | A: The game has probably desycned. Rehost/reconnect. | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | Q: I haven't unlocked some characters, will this stop me from using them via netplay? | |
| 67 | A: No. All characters are unlocked during a netplay match. |
