Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow Hack/Code: Julius as Soma

I was Googling to see if anyone had thrown together an Aria of Sorrow map editor (none yet, I'm afraid) but I did find something almost as cool. I can't put the codes here, but a bunch of excellent romhackers have discovered some nice things at http://blitz.phpwebhosting.com/content/Castlevania:_Aria_of_Sorrow . Specifically, a Codebreaker code to have Julius play in Soma mode and Soma play in Julius mode (note that the romhackers are using the European version of the game).

The upshot of this? Julius can equip Soma's bullet souls and items (Julius stays with the whip, but weapons DO affect the ATK stat etc.) and Soma can use Julius' subweapons. Julius also levels up in Soma mode, which makes him obscenely useful and powerful.

It's buggy, of course, but still remarkably playable. Remember, if you save while in the other character's mode, the save game will turn you into that character on a reload--that's how I switch characters by using a temporary save in the video.

Sorry for the bad play, the speed was pretty bad on my computer. I could hear it wheezing.

the link doesnt work anymore ¬.¬, got any other sites that i could use?

[TOLLMASTER]

Nah, the link doesn't work, doesn't seem to be copied elsewhere, AND my old computer died, so I don't have the code anymore. ;_;

[abnormalazn]

Ehhhh... I don't get it. I use the cheats right, but they don't work like in the vid. Help me!

No Respond To Me + No Help Given = BAD IDEA!!!

[TOLLMASTER]

Are you using the European version of the game?

[Roareye]

You can play as Julius without cheating.

[TOLLMASTER]

Yes, but he can't equip souls when you play as him, because souls are Soma's ability. Here, he is using souls as if he were Soma.

How do you unlock Julius normally?

[nesscypher]

Could you use like the giant bat transformation as Julius?
