Fixing Tales of Graces F for PS3 CFW 3.55

[mamu]

nice job, i will look into it

[kumikumi]

It's important to say that all cards can still be caught and card game is still playable and winnable at any difficulty (10 cards for easy, 20 for normal, 25 for hard). The only "problem" is that when you think you have, for instance, 25 cards you will have only 19 (example). I found this when i tried to unlock normal and hard difficulty.

Off topic: Any news about the patch?

Actually, if you get the cards through the DLC he doesn't accredit all cards at first and only gives a certain amount of rewards, as soon as you have finished L&L he says you found all cards and gives you every available reward, as some cards are only accessible in L&L.

here is the guide until zhonecage gets fixed
i will also post the eboot in a few minutes in the other thread

What you will need:

- JP release of the game (BLJS10093)
- US release of the game (BLUS30903)
- 9GB of free space
- quickbms (aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms, first link at the top)
- unpack script (attached)
- repack tools (attached)
- fixed skit files (www.mediafire.com/?t9g6z4np7z0t8gt)
- a printer or some mobile device for passwords

Preparations:

- Make a new folder somewhere, for example C:/talesfix
- Extract the tools and the fixed skits folder to here. You can place quickbms and the script anywhere.
- Copy rootR.cpk from the japanese game (BLJS10093/PS3_GAME/USDIR) to here and rename it to rootR_JP.cpk
- Copy map1R.cpk from the american release (BLUS30903/PS3_GAME/USDIR) to here and rename it to map1R_US.cpk
- Make these new folders in talesfix: jp_files, us_files, map1r_files
- Your folder should now look like as on the first picture

Unpacking:

- open quickbms
- select the script file (cpk_ndc.bms)
- select the japanese rootR.cpk
- select the jp_files folder

- open quickbms
- select the script file
- select the american rootR.cpk
- select the us_files folder

- open quickbms
- select the script file
- select the american map1R.cpk
- select the map1r_files folder

Repacking:

- Start FIX_ROOTR.BAT
- It will ask you for your preferred voices (jap/eng)
- It will make a new file called rootR_fixed.cpk

- Start FIX_MAP1R.BAT
- It will make a new file called map1R_fixed.cpk

Transfer:

- Copy the japanese game to your PS3
- Rename rootR_fixed.cpk to rootR.cpk, map1R_fixed.cpk to map1R.cpk and copy over the originals
- If you don't want japanese movies copy the american movie files (bink folder)
- Copy the latest translated EBOOT over the original
- Enjoy

Other stuff:

In the game there are password protected chests, but the input dialog is in japanese. You can find the chest passwords on the internet, but if you don't want to "cheat", you can use the passwords.png that is included. It is a list of random words, and I mixed the real password in them.

For example, if you think the password for a chest is "Password", you should type in the word next to "P" on the list. Pay attention to the "smile" characters (ツ), they look very similar.

While this repack makes the story and skits english, most of the menu text and tutorials are in the EBOOT file, so check back for updated translations!

Thanks for the guide mamu... I have the Undubbed version using the US as a base and the only problem I have is the skits. How can I fix the skits only.

[mamu]

You can use skitfix for this, it will also make a file list that you will have to copy to your main listfile. You will need to manually edit the values of MS122, and MS142. Use the unmodified chd files and use the fixed SCS files in the skitfix folder from the guide.

Could you post your listfile?

[kumikumi]

Does that EBOOT replace all these procedures?

[Nogitsune]

that eboot is translation on some menu etc stuff which are not in cpks.

you need the eboot only if you're using the JP version as base but the cpk replacing must be done in both versions for an undub version.

[kumikumi]

I see, thank you for the explanation.

Thanks for the guide mamu, and all the hard work thus far.
