0.9.7!

Unfortunately, I don't have the Final Mix version to explain how exactly, but the game should have something looking like this near the very start of its assembly (if you disable "Run on Load" and show the disassembly):

jal zz_sceKernelSetSdkVersion603_605
ori a0, a0, 0x10

Changing that second instruction (highlight it and press Ctrl-A) to "li a0, 0" would do the trick. Whatever address that is, a cheat code be made that sets that address to 0 automatically, I think.

Well, I was about to screw around with the disassembly then discovered solarmystic had PM'd me a custom executable to upgrade my saves, so that issue is solved. But now I discovered a new issue with 0.9.7.x: FMVs are unwatchable. In both KH and Crisis Core, the video gets squeezed to a tiny corner of the screen and in KH the opening FMV flickers like crazy, meaning the ending is likely also unwatchable. Seems like a regression as 0.9.6.2 didn't have this issue.
