### Nemsys & Valkyrie modes

!!! warning "Valkyrie mode requires a 120hz capable monitor, or to have patched your `.dll` with `Valkyrie Mode 60hz`.<br>You will also need a second 60hz monitor with touchscreen capabilities."

    If you do not have that second monitor:

    - Open `spicecfg.exe`.
    - Head to the `Options` tab.
    - Enable `Only Use One Monitor` under the `Graphics (common)` category.

!!! tip ""

	To make use of the Valkyrie Mode, which unlocks the subscreen and 120FPS, we 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">F</spec>
    ```

    Use ^^`F`^^ for Nemsys, or ^^`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 Japanese, ^^`K`^^ for Korean, or ^^`A`^^ for English.
