RHDN page of the hack: www.romhacking.net/hacks/5610/Readme TXT: www.romhacking.net/hacks/ds/patches/5610readme.txt. Online XDELTA patcher: kotcrab.github.io/xdelta-wasm/  Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - Definitive Edition+ is ROM hack that serves as a vastly improved version of the original Definitive Edition hack. This hack has a myriad of improvements, such as bug fixes, Quality of Life, and rebalancing changes to create the best way to play Dawn of Sorrow. Check out the readme TXT or the PDF within the 7Z archive for a list of every change made from the original Definitive Edition hack and in the added Definitive Mode of v2.0, excluding very minor changes like the de-capitalization of a letter or the removal of an extra space, or just summarizing some of the changes for the sake of not making the readme longer than it already is. (^^; There are many patches in the 7Z archive, the Main Patches that include the Definitive Edition+ patches along with the Definitive Mode ones, and the Optional Patches which are miscellaneous changes that can be applied to a Dawn of Sorrow ROM with one of the main patches already applied for some customization options. This hack only needs to be patched to a clean ROM of Dawn of Sorrow with a ROM patcher compatible with XDELTA1 files. Here’s a showcase video of the added Definitive Mode in version 2.0:

Updated to version 1.2.4, which gives Yoko new jump kick animations, adds Dark attribute to Ogre Form, implements a new gateway for a secret boss, more cosmetic and text changes, etc.    I know this might be a strange request but is there any way you could change alucard's voice in this from the dos voice to the Castlevania symphony of the night voice? Because in parts of the game it seems like the voice actor who voice acted Alucard in this game was trying to portray Alucard in his own way but in other areas of the game when there's voice acting involved you could tell he's trying to do the Robert Belgrade voice and so it would just be more satisfying just to have the Robert Belgrade voice in this hack instead of that other voice actors voice acting in this hack you know |

His voice would be the only one in English meanwhile every other character has their original Japanese voices, and that would require porting the English voices from later games like Portrait of Ruin or Harmony of Despair. 2. I wouldn't feel comfortable with replacing the voice performances of Ryōtarō Okiayu, who's always been Alucard's main Japanese voice actor since NitM, with Robert Belgrade's voice clips from PS1 SotN, if I were to use Alucard's English voices, then I would use Yuri Lowenthal's over Belgrade's, personally. |

Many games localized with just subs, some games have dual audio, like SOTN on PSP for example. There is nothing wrong with USA game having native voices, native voices cannot be wrong, those are OG voices for characters, that is how characters supposed to sound. CV is a Japanese franchise, so JP voices are aways correct. But if you want to make full eng dub, it's possible, just rip voices from games or use CV fighter ones, it have full eng dub. You only need basic NDS packer & Nitro Studio. |

In my opinion the voices are fine. Swapping them all out for eng ones will sound inconsistent. I don't think there are english equivalents for every single line that is used in the game. Probably more effort then it is worth. You'll end up with soma saying a few english lines and still saying stuff like YADAMA or IKEI or grunting in japanese voices but speaking in english, Mina doesn't have an english voice to replace her S-Soma line and then Somacula speaks in all Japanese too, he has no english VA. So no matter what there will be inconsistencies if u try to change it all to english voices. No need to fix what isn't broken  |

I'm having a little trouble finding that secret boss in the Abyss, where is he? Do I need to break a wall, or is the wall invisible or something? lol

I have a question: How can I obtain the Vampire Killer and the secret souls like Julius’s subweapons and Yoko’s spells ?

You'd have to use the succubus glitch and zip through the left wall of The Abyss' first save room to obtain those, though this could brick the save file you use it in if you don't have New Game + unlocked beforehand |
