2. The "Quick Save" Quality of Life One of the most controversial changes in Tenchu San Portable is the addition of a Quick Save feature. On PS2, a single mistake meant restarting the entire mission. On PSP, you can save mid-mission. Purists argue this lowers tension, but for busy adults wanting to experience the story, it is a godsend.
PPSSPP Texture Mod: Some users have created custom textures for the PPSSPP emulator that translate the menus and UI into English. These do not usually translate the Japanese subtitles or dialogue and often do not work on original hardware. Download the Patch : Obtain the patch file
3. Ad-Hoc Multiplayer The PS2 version required a split-screen for VS Mode. The PSP version allows two players to connect wirelessly (Ad-Hoc) using their own screens. The patched version translates all VS Mode menus and character select screens, making it playable for English speakers.
