Richter's name was spelled as "RICHITER" on the Japanese and US versions' file select screen (Due to an apparently miss in Japanese-English spelling conversion). This was corrected in the European version, and Japanese revision (NDS-6081).

Glitch Fixes
There are several glitches and exploits in Portrait of Ruin in other countries that that got fixed for the European release, and Japanese revision (NDS-6081).
- Item duplication exploit for Eric's Quest rewards no longer work. Players are no longer able to skip Eric's congratulatory line about finishing the quest with the Start button.
- Somewhat a hidden (and possibly accidental) staple since Symphony of the Night, players are no longer able to glitch out of the roofs in the Great Stairways.
- A glitch involving being locked in Death's room after beating and skipping the boss' dialogue was also fixed.
- Finally, there is an exploitable glitch about carrying over progress (all, including stats, map and even the same save point) to a new level-cap game which unsurprisingly gets fixed as well.
