Godzilla (PS3, MOD/HACK) - Playing As Other Kaiju
163First of all, this is a hack/mod. The method I used to achieve this almost certainly CANNOT be achieved on a real PS3 console. You will have to use RPCS3 and Cheat Engine to replicate these mods. The basic gist of it is to replace "ch01a_00.pac" with the .pac file of another character, then use Cheat Engine to find a single byte (or two, don't recall) in memory that corresponds to the kaiju you want to play as and change that. To find it, I recommend having Burning Godzilla and/or Godzilla 2014 unlocked, then search for the value using King of Kaiju mode by repeatedly quitting and entering the mode with different characters until you can find the byte(s) you need. A cheat table is provided at the bottom of the description, but I cannot guarantee it will work for you due to various circumstances. If it does not work for you, you will have to find the value yourself. For reference, the value corresponds to the numbers found in the filenames of the .pac files. So, the value when playing as Heisei Godzilla will be "01". For Burning Godzilla, it will be "18". For Godzilla 2014, it should be "02". That should hopefully help you identify the correct value in memory.
Additionally, I should clarifiy that the files that will need to be swapped are located in "[RPCS3 Location]\dev_hdd0\game\BLES02164\USRDIR". It's a confusing set up on RPCS3's part, but I suspect it has something to do with the game being "installed" to a virtual PS3 HDD. Regardless, make sure to perform the file swap in that location. Depending on the version of the game that you own, the ID may be different. The other two IDs, to my knowledge, are "BLJS10291" (Japan) and "NPUB31704" (US). There may also be different IDs for the PSN versions of the Japanese/EU versions of the game, but I do not know what those IDs would be.
One final note before moving on to discussing the contents of the video itself: The version of RPCS3 used in this video is "v0.0.6-8380-cfa1416d Alpha". That may be needed in order for my cheat table to work, but I am not 100% certain about that.
So, as it turns out, the other kaiju in the game are actually fully playable. They do have some issues, however.
None of the kaiju have roars or "Emergency Dodges" like they do in the PS4 version. They also don't require energy bars to use beam attacks. Most are missing some attacks. Some have moves only present in this version and not in the PS4 version. Pretty cool stuff overall.
Only Mechagodzilla II (1975) and Godzilla 2014 appear to function in God of Destruction Mode. Burning Godzilla probably does too, but I didn't test him.
The introduction cutscenes aren't actually part of the PS3 game. I just edited them in because why not.
