44w ago - After over 60 pages of
forum discussion, today I present a Tales of Graces F guide and repack tools for those interested in getting it running fully translated on PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW) 3.55, as follows:
What you will need:
- JP release of the game (BLJS10093)
- US release of the game (BLUS30903)
- 15GB of free space recommended
- quickbms (aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms, first link at the top)
- unpack script cpk_ndc.bms (attached)
- repack tools & fixed files - www.mediafire.com/?6p2gc473359l62v (~127MB)
Preparations:
- Make a new empty folder somewhere, for example C:/talesfix
- Extract the contents of gracesfix.zip to here.
- You can place quickbms and the script anywhere, they don't have to be in this folder. Extract the zip that contains the bms file too.
- Copy rootR.cpk from the japanese game (BLJS10093/PS3_GAME/USDIR) to here and rename it to rootR_JP.cpk
- Copy map0R.cpk from the american release (BLUS30903/PS3_GAME/USDIR) to here and rename it to map0R_US.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 your talesfix folder : jp_files, us_files, map0r_files, map1r_files
- Your talesfix folder should now look like as on the attached 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 (cpk_ndc.bms)
- select the american rootR.cpk
- select the us_files folder
- open quickbms
- select the script file (cpk_ndc.bms)
- select the american map0R.cpk
- select the map0r_files folder
- open quickbms
- select the script file (cpk_ndc.bms)
- 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_MAP0R.BAT
- It will make a new file called map0R_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 and copy over the original
- Rename map0R_fixed.cpk to map0R.cpk and copy over the original
- Rename map1R_fixed.cpk to map1R.cpk and copy over the original
