Guide by @LinkIsntPink#9285 on discord
Getting the DLC items and missions IS possible and you CAN freely switch save regions, and so far I have confirmed it works on all US, JP and EU regions of the game. The steps I'm going to mention were taken from some scattered Reddit posts and some testing on my end. Made this throwaway just to make this information easier to find.
Unlocking the DLC
I am going to assume you don't have the game installed and are doing this on a vita with custom firmware currently installed. I am also going to assume you know how to use NoPayStation too. If you don't, then go here https://vita.hacks.guide/ and here https://nopaystation.com/. You should have NoNpDRM setup too.
First things first, install a save manager.
Download the game off the NPS Browser and download the patch, downloading the patch is crucial as that's what the DLC pretty much is. Right click on the game in the browser, check for patches, download patch. Install both the game and the patch on the Vita. You can also download the game and updates through PKJI if you have that set up.
Alternatively you can just install the game with whichever method, and once you're on your Vita you can just check for updates as you would normally do by touching the small orange icon. Launch the game at least once to create a save directory then create a backup.
Download https://anonfiles.com/b1ebM7S7yb/SSD_DLC_Unlock_zip I took this file from some comment in a thread. It is basically part of a save with the online pass check that allows you to actually use the DLC stuff. It comes with their own instructions written by that guy.
Each Vita game has their own ID, look up in ux0:data/savegames/XXXXXXXX with XXXXXXXX being the ID for your SSD region and replace system.bak and system.bin
Restore the save and you're done.
If you have your own save backup, the idea is pretty much the same, just replace system.bak and system.bin and restore the save.
Switching regions
You can switch save regions too if you want. It boils down to:
Launch target region save game at least once to create a save directory then create a save backup
Delete everything in sce_sys folder except sdslot.dat
Rename the folder to the target region game ID
Restore the savedata for the target region
Paraphrasing from some other comment in a thread. Doing this I managed to transfer my old US save data to JP while also keeping the DLC working. You could test this in other games if you wanted.
I have no idea if this works on Vita3k since my computer is dogshit and I can't test it so if someone could do that for me and post results in the comments, that would be great.
