Modifications

Modifications refer to various patches, replacements or changes to Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity that aim to improve the gameplay experience. These modifications range from 60 FPS patches, texture replacements, the ability to play online-only missions in ad hoc multiplayer, and more.

Many of these patches are achieved through modifying the game's memory through cheat codes. None of these codes directly impact gameplay, and the Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity Wiki will never provide any actual cheat codes for the purpose of cheating.

Below you may find a compilation of the various patches that are compatible with each platform and how install them.

PlayStation Portable

Cheat File Patches

What you will need:

• Cheat Files for PSP - This is TempAR for the PSP with a cheat database for PSP2i included. If you are already familiar with TempAR, download the cheats by themselves here, and do not follow the instructions below, as you should already be familiar with how to set this up. Credits go to JamRules for the cheats contained in this package.

1. Extract the seplugins folder to the PSP's root directory (e.g. D:/ or E:/ when connected to your PC)
2. Boot PSP2i on your PSP, then press the PS Logo and R Button together to bring up the TempAR menu.
3. Turn the cheats you want on/off as appropriate. Take care not to enable conflicting cheats.
4. Press the ♪ button until it displays [CHEATS ON] in the top right.
5. Press R twice to navigate back to the [PRX] menu, scroll down to Save Settings, press the cross button, then exit TempAR with the circle button. This will make the cheats persist on reboot.

Windows PC

Original PSP Font

PPSSPP renders with a custom font, called Roboto Condensed, rather than the original PSP fonts. This can make a lot of the text placement ingame seem strange, as all games (and the english patch) are designed with the original PSP font in mind.

You can fix this by downloading this archive, then extracting the contents to your PPSSPP directory.

Cheat File Patches

What you will need:

• Cheat File for Windows PC - Contains all cheat file patches for Windows PC. Credit goes to JamRules for the codes listed in here.

1. Extract the memstick folder to your PPSSPP directory.
2. In PPSSPP, click Game settings, then Enable cheats.
3. Boot up PSP2i, click Emulation, then Pause.
4. Click Cheats, and a list of all the patches for the game will appear. Turn them on/off as desired. Note that any similar codes will conflict with each other!

HD Texture Replacements

Rozalin's PSP2i Texture Restoration

User Rozalin is currently working on improving and replacing all the textures in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity for an improved experience. This is a work in progress, so it is not fully complete.

1. Extract the memstick folder into your PPSSPP directory.
2. In PPSSPP, click Game settings → More settings... → Tools → Developer tools, then check Replace textures. Do not check Save new textures!
