No extra dungeons or anything that was added in Dawn of Souls GBA or versions after. I don't recall the PSP version having maps like this one - way easier to find where you're going and where the treasure chests are - but I could be wrong on that one. I also think that gold/exp boost up to 4x are new, and you have the ability to turn encounters on/off at will. A lot of things are "quality of life" but they also make the game easier than it ever was.

Is there a physical version of the whole set of six games?
As argyle pointed out, there was a physical release for Switch and PS4 and (at least the PS4 version sold out very fast).
