### Nemsys & Valkyrie modes

!!! warning "Valkyrie mode requires a 120hz capable monitor, or to have patched your `.dll` with `Valkyrie Mode 60hz`."

!!! tip ""

	To make use of the Valkyrie Mode (Subscreen, 120FPS, S-CRITICAL..) you need to go to the `contents\prop` folder and edit the `ea3-config.xml` file.

    We're interested in these lines:

	```xml
		<soft>
			<model __type="str">KFC</model>
			<dest __type="str">J</dest>
			<spec __type="str">G</spec>
			<rev __type="str">A</rev>
			<ext __type="str">2024052100</ext>
		</soft>
	```

    This is the line that determines if the game will run in Nemsys (60 FPS) or Valkyrie (120 FPS) mode.

    ```xml
    <spec __type="str">G</spec>
    ```

    Use:

    - ^^`F`^^ for Nemsys  
    - ^^`G`^^ for Valkyrie

### Changing the game's language

!!! tip ""

    Go to the `contents\prop` folder and edit the `ea3-config.xml` file.

    We're interested in these lines:

	```xml
		<soft>
			<model __type="str">KFC</model>
			<dest __type="str">J</dest>
			<spec __type="str">G</spec>
			<rev __type="str">A</rev>
			<ext __type="str">2024052100</ext>
		</soft>
	```

    This is the line that determines which region, and therefore which language the game will use.

    ```xml
    <dest __type="str">J</dest>
    ```

    Use:

    - ^^`J`^^ for Japan (Japanese)  
    - ^^`K`^^ for Korea (Korean + some censored jackets)  
    - ^^`A`^^ for Asia/Australia (English)  
    - ^^`U`^^ for America (English + some censoring in recent versions)  
    - ^^`Y`^^ for Indonesia
