Hello, My name is Tales117. I am a noob related with modding but I have been always interested with that. I grew up playing Castlevania series in Japanese and I was wondering I can learn how to apply some mods into Japanese roms.
My biggest interest at this point is How to apply Richter costume mod for SOTN in Dracula X Chronicles for PSP into Japanese iso.
It is pleasured to meet lot of passionated & talented modders! Thank you.

Would you mind telling me which files need to be replaced in the ISO? I have experience of changing audio files for other PSP game through UMDGEN. If you don't mind, I would like to try!

Try to copy PACK folder from modded iso. In English version of the game there are two such folders. No idea about JP one.

I successfully modded PLP1.BIN file with hex editor! First, it did not work when I directly copied the PLP1.BIN from the modded English X Chronicles and I figured out that there are some different part between English file and Japanese file. I merged both different part through hex editor and it worked!
I didn't mod the one from PACK_E folder because my goal was just being able to use the SOTN costume on Japanese version.
Thank you very much for allowing me to try this! Attachments:

Thank you very much for allowing me to try this! Good to hear you enjoying it! It seems versions have a clear difference like it's on PSX. I made a costume port for JP PSX SOTN, because there are better things, for example Richter have a working buff skill. Does PSP Japanese sotn have some serious differences from eng one?

In gameplay wise, I don’t see any differences in between Eng and Jap regions for PSP ver. I believe the different part that I found in hex editor is related in what type of voice data to load. (To be honest, I have no idea.) I will report you if I find. I’m just so happy to be able to play with this costume on PSP version. Thank you for your efforts on this wonderful mod!

I see, maybe both versions are based of later revision then, after buff skill was corrupted

Hi everyone! This VK2212! I've been a huge Castlevania fan for over 30 years now, my first one being Super Castlevania IV. O actually have been part of the group for almost a year, but never really had a chance to introduce myself. I absolutely love all the hard work that has been put into all these rom hacks, especially Dawn of Dissonance, and Portrait of Bloodlines! I'm always checking to see whats new, especially to see if there's any new Castlevania IV hacks. I always thought Simon should have his blue armor from the Japanese box art, or add Richter in there. Just some ideas I had lol! If anyone is interested I do alot of box art for Castlevania old and rom hacks, so if anyone needs some art for their roms, feel free and message me 😎
