Persona Q/Q2 (US) Patches

A set of assembly patches for Persona Q (USA) and Persona Q2 (USA).

Included patches:

• MC Canon Names (Names[.s|.hks]) - For PQ/PQ2

  Patches the MC name functions to display the "canon" names. Normally the player can't fit some of these names in the name input boxes due to their length.

  The set names are:

  • P3MC - Makoto Yuki (PQ/PQ2)
  • P4MC - Yu Narukami (PQ/PQ2)
  • P3PMC - Kotone Shiomi (PQ2)
  • P5MC - Ren Amamiya (PQ2)

• Mod Support (ModCpk[.s|.hks]) - For PQ/PQ2

  Enables file replacement via a mod.cpk file.

  A mod.cpk file has to be present in romfs when using the mod.cpk patch, otherwise the game will crash.

  An empty mod.cpk file (containing only an empty dummy.txt file) is provided with each mod.cpk patch - replace it with your own if you want to replace game files.
