This is a mod for Persona 3 Portable that makes some female-exclusive Social Links available for the male protagonist. All special events like the shrine festival, Christmas dates or Sunday dates are also available for the new social links. Dialogue was edited when necessary.
The Love Hotel scene can now vary between Akihiko, Junpei and Yukari depending on who’s present, and your relationship level with them (default is Yukari).
In the Velvet Room, you can now choose between Elizabeth and Theo, and go on dates with Theo as well.
The new Social Link list is the following:
- Magician - Junpei (instead of Kenji).
- Justice - Ken (instead of Chihiro).
- Hermit - Chihiro (instead of Maya).
- Fortune - Ryoji (instead of Keisuke).
- Strength - Koromaru (instead of Yuko).
- Star - Akihiko (instead of Mamoru).
- Moon - Shinjiro (instead of Nozomi).
The rest are left unchanged.
Romanceable characters: Yukari, Mitsuru, Fuuka, Aigis, Akihiko, Shinjiro, Ryoji, Ken, Chihiro and Elizabeth/Theo (sort of).
Note: The mod was also ported to the Nintendo Swttch by arnon85.

Apply the patch with ModCompendium:
- Extract the files inside your Persona 3 Portable .iso (7zip works fine). The umd0.cpk file should be inside the /PSP_GAME/USRDIR/ folder. Remember its location.
- Download latest release of ModCompendium and extract the program somewhere.
- Place the "Makoto Gay Romance" folder inside your ModCompendium folder /ModCompendium/Mods/Persona3Portable/.
- Run ModCompendium.exe. Select "Persona 3 Portable" on the left tab.
- Click on "Settings" tab and choose the output directory for the modified file (default is /ModCompendium/Output/Persona 3 Portable/).
- Also choose the path for the umd0.cpk file you extracted on first step.
- Once you're done, enable the mod in the list that appears in ModCompendium and click on "Build". The modified .cpk will appear in your output directory.
Repack the ISO with UMDGen:
- Open the unmodified P3P ISO with UMDGen, and replace the umd0.cpk file with the one generated by ModCompendium.
- Also, replace the EBOOT.BIN file with the one from the mod (in case of conflicts with other mods, you can leave the EBOOT.BIN alone; it just changes some names in the S.Link screen).
- Save the modified ISO with UMDGen.
Important: Remember to uninstall this mod first if you're going to play the female route.

Known issues
- Akihiko, Ken and Ryoji don't have a friendship route. The relationship will be romantic by default, no matter your dialogue choices. This is something I couldn't fix.
- The voiceovers at rank 10 events of the new social links may be wrong, and play audio from the previous event, or no audio at all.
User reported bugs:
- If you selected Theo as Velvet Room attendant, the game will crash upon entering the "ultimate opponent" battle.
- Ryoji may not be available to talk in the classroom, to start his rank 3 event.
