WARNING: ArcadeEssentials is NOT COMPATIBLE with PC version of Cars 2: The Video Game! It is only compatible with Cars 2: Arcade.

  1. If you haven't already installed Pentane for Cars 2: Arcade, refer to the Pentane installation tutorial and complete its setup process before proceeding.
  2. Head to the releases page on the ArcadeEssentials GitHub repository, linked here.
  3. Download the release.zip file linked under the Assets tab.
  4. You will find two folders in the zip file, one named Pentane and one labeled assets.
    • If you're planning on installing an overhaul mod such as Cars 2: Restorations or Cars 2: Deluxe, just copy the Pentane folder into the root of your game's installation, right next to sdaemon.exe and Pentane.dll.
    • Otherwise, copy both the assets folder and the Pentane folder into the root of your game's installation, right next to sdaemon.exe and Pentane.dll. Make sure to replace any files already present in the destination.
  5. Open Pentane/config.toml in a text editor, like Notepad or Notepad++.
  6. Under the [plugins] section, edit the enabled_plugins list to include "ArcadeEssentials.dll", and save your changes.
    • Example: 
      [plugins]
enabled_plugins = ["ArcadeEssentials.dll"]
  7. Check to make sure your config.toml file is still valid TOML, by using a linter such as toml-lint.com.
  8. You're done!
