User:Finer/Settings

This page documents the format of the settings.dat file (on PES21). All numbers are in little-endian format.

A settings.dat file MUST be exactly 612 bytes long.

Header

The magic bytes at offset 0 MUST match the four decimal values listed below, as MUST the version field.

Some bits at offset 8 are initially set to 0 but are later ORed with another value; the latter is shown after an arrow (→).

Offset	Size	Type	Description	PES21 Defaults
0	4	bytes	"WECF" (Winning Eleven Configuration File) magic.	(87 69 67 70)
4	4	dword	Version	(107)
8	4	bits	Bit 0: Fullscreen	0
			Bit 1: Wait for VSync (always forced to 1)	0 → 1
			Bit 2: 60 fps (in-game)	0 → 1
			Bit 3: 60 fps (replay demo)	0

			Bit 10: VSync On 1	0 → 1
			Bit 11: VSync On 2	0
12	4	dword	Horizontal resolution	1920
16	4	dword	Vertical resolution	1080
20	4	?	?	(dword) 2
24	4	dword	Audio buffer size index (same as in Settings, minus 1)	0
28	4	dword	UDP port 1	5739
32	4	dword	UDP port 2	5740

Controller entries

Nine of these entries make up the rest of the settings file.

Controller 0 is hard-wired to be the keyboard, and its GUID is ignored.
