The segatools.ini file is the central configuration script for segatools, a set of loaders and hardware emulators designed to run Sega arcade games from the Nu and ALLS platforms on standard Windows hardware. It acts as the bridge between the original arcade software and your PC, translating arcade-specific hardware calls—like specialized card readers and cabinet dipswitches—into standard computer inputs.
