Nemsys & Valkyrie modes

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