ROM Hack I read that the Nintendo Bonus items in PS0 are not in the US Version

Well, they're, but with different models and names. However, if you play online with Japanese people, you can see them using these items, so they must be in the game. Anyone has hacked the game for these items yet? (Or will do it?)

Actually, it's like this:

Original version had Warp Pipes, US version has Bazooka.


If you have US version, and party with somebody with the J version and they have Warp Pipe, you will see it as Bazooka. If you have Bazooka, the J players will see it as the Warp Pipe.

The items are exactly same, expect the name and model is changed. Only way to get things like, Miku Leek into US version would be changing the models.

exactly what reason was this done for?
I don't see the point of remove the stuff since:
1. it's part of the game
2. we don't want to pay for a trimmed down version
3. we want it
4. we're buying the game
5. it serves no purpose besides increasing the time it took to bring the game out

removing items takes as long as hitting the del key


i guess its a copyright thing, since PS0 is from sega, metroid and mario from nintendo etc.
and if you dont life in japan, mixing together stuff is expensive and terrible (see the jump games..)

Possibly licensing issues...
SEGA Japan and Nintendo of Japan might have an agreement that SEGA US and Nintendo of America don't have.
While SEGA US is owned by SEGA Japan, and NoA is owned by NoJ, they are more or less separate entities and have different laws applied to them based on the country they operate in.
