To alter the map, use the individual codes to select Monaco, London or whatever. Finally, for decent screenshots, try the various 'Stealth' codes to make the character, radar, map et al disappear.

The 'Sel+Down/R/Up TPS/FPS' code will change the angle from TPS to FPS by pressing Select and Up, Right or Down. For the moment, use the Area Open code as well to explore the extensive maps.įor different camea angles, try the 'View XXXX' code to change the X, Y and Z axes (change the 6th, 7th and 8th values in the code). These lack any enemies or civilians, but may form the basis of a custom mission once the necessary files have been figured out. link below as usual) and, with the code enabled, will load a different map for the first eleven missions in the game. The '1st 11 Empty Levels' code needs some folders placed in the root of the memory stick (as included with the ミッション application. The Level Select code allows you to play the unused mission (with a value of 79). Other than that, here are the ones that seem to be the most useful (see link below for source): I can only take credit for the odd code like the Level Select. Trying to squash in GIANTANTQUEEN.VOB will not work, as the game will crash. If it is shorter, you can just add spaces to fill up the gap. So you can change GIANTANT2_2.VOB to GIANTANT2_5.VOB or something with a maximum number of eleven letters (excluding the file suffix, of course). Using a hex editor on EDF2.DAT, you can change the relevant names, providing there is enough space to accommodate the new moniker. It is possible to change the enemies and maps on different levels. I have not been able to get a look at this one yet, but it may not be so different to the ones in the game. The third unused model is called GIANTFLYINGANT_S and is one of the flying ant enemies. This bug, called GIANTANT1_1, is very similar to the regular ants seen infesting the cities of the game. However, it looks somewhat better when animated. Labelled GIANTANT2_5, this seems a more primitive version of the red ant. These aliens look like woodlice from a distance, but curl up into a ball and hurl themselves at you. It starts off with just one of these, then two more spawn out of nowhere, followed by a large wave.

The only unused mission is Mission 79 in the main PSP game, which loads one of the city levels and has what are charmingly called Dumpling Mechs in the game's coding. After further research, it seems that a number of the subsequent missions are those from the first game (Monster Attack).

From the dodgy translations I've gleaned off of Japanese gaming sites, it seems it contains missions from the PS2 version of the second EDF game. Not so, as it fails to load when moved to the JPN folder.

As this is located in a folder called USA and mirrors a file of the same name in the JPN folder, it initially appears to be a translation of the Japanese version. So why is this of interest to us game hackers? Well, there is an extra file in one of the folders, labelled EDF2.DAT. But if you can get past this, you'll have a blast.

This isn't a problem with the PSP as such, as the PS2 version suffered from exactly the same issue. The framerate stutters and reaches single figures at best. But blow a few of the UFO's up with an atomic handgrenade and the game struggles. These do look cool, especially when the level is set at twilight. One of the game's strengths is also the cause of its greatest flaw: the sheer spectacle of gigantuan spaceships or hordes of mutant insects. Why you need hundreds of weapons is beyond me, but its fun to try out to see what is effective against the various enemies. Buildings, bugs, city-sized spaceships, all can be blown to pieces with the myriad of weapons available to the two playable characters (Storm-1 and Pale Wing). The real fun is that everything can be destroyed. The kaiju are good fun, reminiscent of Godzilla and his pals, while the bugs are more akin to Them! or, at a stretch, Mothra.

Not for the graphics or plotline, but for the simplicity of blowing the crap out of aliens, UFO's, giant insects and monsters.

It's not a complicated game (not a surprise as it's a part of the Simple series), but the EDF series has a cult following. As noted in my blog, I picked this Japanese gem up in a bookstore recently for around half the price quoted on Ebay.
