Cave Story patch allows you to switch main characters

by John Bardinelli { Jun 26th 2007 at 1:56AM }

A new patch by Efraim Siounis for the freeware platform adventure Cave Story lets you play as one of nine different characters from the game. Simply grab the pbm file from Efraim's site, rename it to "MyChar.pbm", and drop it in the /data directory under the Cave Story folder. When you start the game all main character sprites will be magically switched. Currently you can play as Curly, Toroko, Jenka, Sue, King, Crown, Booster, or a dog. It doesn't change the game much, but you'll have something new to stare at as you discover another excuse to play through the game ... again.

Dang, when I saw the post I thought it was news about the PSP version ...

Is the PSP version of the game still in the works, or ... ???

The Variant Interactive PSP port doesn't matter much. Some guy has got the "okay" from Pixel to port it to PSP as homebrew for free, and he recently released a demo.

This is a bad post, these switches were done long ago on Doukutsu uploader years ago by a few Japanese guys. This guy took them and put them together and claimed as his own. Please don't endorse him. If you don't believe me, ask any big Cave Story fan.
