The file for the button configuration menu also has some removed entries,

The first one サポートキャラ is captioned "サポートキャラを呼び出すボタンを設定します", and that appears to be an option to call in a support character.

This file also has two other removed options, 決定 and キャンセル. These would have allowed you to remap the Confirm and Cancel buttons.

Development Leftovers#

Present in /PSP_GAME/USRDIR/script/ are plaintext versions for all the game scripts. These .scp files are not run directly by the game, instead the bin files of the same name are used.

Here's an example showing the first event in Estelle's story:

Anti-Piracy#

Watch on YouTubeThis game runs a check to make sure it is being run on official firmware, aside from the game requiring 6.20 firmware. If this check fails, collision detection for walls and some floors will be turned off in a level, resulting in characters clipping through walls and/or going out of bounds before respawning back to the starting location. In addition, some bosses or enemies won't respawn back to their starting location, rendering some fights unwinnable.

It's possible, but tricky, to finish the game despite these "bugs" showing up.
