Increasing the party roster character limit?

[Donkeyton]

I assume the party size limit is hardcoded and capped at 24 units. Unfortunately, I'm sort of a completionist, and those 24 slots don't give me a heck of a lot of wiggle room. I'd love to increase the limit if it's possible.

Any idea if it can be done, and if so, how? I am not optimistic, but nevertheless, I'm curious.

I don't believe that there is a hack for this for PSP. Not many people have taken the time to delve into PSP hacking yet. Though 24 isn't enough? Try being a completionist on the psx version where you only get like... 16

Yeah, I suspected as much. Too bad.

In re the limit, I do find it a bit annoying. I know 24 is more generous than the original limit, but even still: factor in all specials and secret characters, plus a handful of generics, plus the two monsters you pick up organically through the storyline, and you're at the limit very quickly. If you want to add more specials, you basically have to start booting some generics or some monsters. Usually I give the monsters the axe when forced to make a choice. I try not to dismiss humans if I can help it. For some reason -- call it roleplaying -- I like to imagine that every generic I start with, recruit, or entice has a part to play in my roster and my story. I get attached to those little toons, what can I say.

That is exactly how I feel when playing this game. Especially since a lot of the quotes the characters say when you are about to kick them out make you feel so bad for them. I say Boco isn't worth his space. Always get's booted. Always.
