Sorry I never got back to you about my findings.

I ran the BBSFM ISO on AJ's PSP and got some interesting results. It loaded up pretty well and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it, but when I opened Aqua's save file (she was his favorite, so I checked there first), I immediately noticed something strange.

The most obvious thing was that the textures on her head were completely blank. I rotated the camera around her and found that there were two black and yellow spots on her face, right were her mouth and eyes should have been. It also looked like there was some extra fabric covering her back from the top, but it was lighter than the rest of her clothes, so it might not have been intended to look that way. I'm not sure if it's relevant or not, but I also started in the Badlands map.

I explored for a while and found virtually nothing up until I went to the Mirage Arena. Systematically going through each mission, I eventually came to the Armor of the Master battle. This battle was obviously wrong. The entire body, head to toe, was just a large white blob. The only trace of color on my enemy was his Keyblade, which was colored normally. Beyond that, nothing else was different. I thought for sure I'd find something on No Heart, but nothing else.

After failing at beating him several times, I decided to just quit and check out the other files. Ven had the same deal on his head, but he also had something on the front of his jacket. I couldn't quite make it out, but it looked like some kind of letters. I started in the same map as Aqua's. Armor of the Master was the same too.

On Terra, I immediately noticed that his head was fully colored. Also, his pants very clearly had
G
O

On the front and
N
E

On the back. I think it should be very obvious what the message is there. Everything else was the same.

I also played through Last Episode and Secret Episode, but there was nothing there either. I'll upload a PPF patch of the the game as well as AJ's saves so you can see for yourselves and possibly find anything I may have missed as soon as I figure out how to make a PPF patch (I've used them before, but I've never actually made one). I'm not sure how many of you have hacked PSPs, but I'm sure at least a few of you do. In the meantime, discuss what I talked about here to see if you can figure anything out.

Oh, and if anyone knows how to make a PPF patch, please tell me about that here as well. I'm kind a stumped.

 

See what you did there. Very nice.

 

I really didn't do anything there. Coincidence, eh?

 

How... Creepy.

 

Hey! I see no pic links!!!! I DEMAND PICS!!!!! Pics or it didn't happen.

 

I don't really know how to take screen shots on this thing. Anyone know how? I'll upload the patch as soon as I figure it out though. Then you guys can see it firsthand.

 

Well I'm not familiar with what kind of patch you are trying to make but all of that sounds like texture errors. (expecting a "well duh" response to that) what I find interesting though is the different responses. GONE sounds like a debug texture meaning it just couldn't find one, but I would have expected AotM to do the same thing if that were the case. Maybe AotM received a blank texture rather than it going missing entirely?
