Notes

• This is a preview build of the game.
• Press Square + Circle to access an extensive debug menu.
• Includes test/debugging areas such as mdlview 1.
• Includes PSP-exclusive areas such as the master system rooms.
• Like most PSP development builds, it was distributed as UMD layer images on a DVD-R. Because it is a dual-layer UMD, converting the files on the release image requires several steps, and CVLT OF OSIRIS has included both the original DVD-R image (Tomb_Raider-Legend-2006-02-23.iso) and a version that is ready to play in an emulator (Tomb_Raider-Legend-2006-02-23-Converted-Bootable.iso).
• If you wish to recreate the bootable image from the original dump instead of using the premade bootable image, follow these steps:
  • Extract the USER_L0.IMG and USER_L1.IMG files from the DVD-R dump.
  • Concatenate the two files together, layer 0 first, layer 1 second into a new file named Tomb_Raider-Legend-2006-02-23-Converted-Bootable.iso.
  • Download UMDGen (https://www.romhacking.net/download/utilities/1218/) if you do not have it already.
  • Open the ISO in UMDGen.
  • In UMDGen, navigate to the \PSP_GAME\SYSDIR folder and right-click on BOOT.BIN.
  • In the menu, choose File Relinker, then Use Selected File as Source.
  • Right-click on EBOOT.BIN.
  • In the menu, choose File Relinker, then Relink to '\PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\BOOT.BIN'.
• The UMDGen steps may be optional for some PSP emulators.
