40w 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
- If you don't want japanese movies copy the american movie files (bink folder)
- Copy the latest translated EBOOT over the original
- Enjoy
Latest translated EBOOT:
- English chest passwords*
- Story Battles
- How-to Battles
- Title Abilities & Effects
- Food Effects
- Discoveries
- Typo fixes ("cloak fix")
- An important translation change of Bench EXP/SP/HP titles
*for English chest passwords be sure to use the latest chest fixed files (Aug.15)

This is a good year for JRPGS, all i need is Tales of Hearts R and it'll be complete.
Here's What I tested on JPN DLC on US base game
• Attachments works just fine but wouldn't equip more than one due to, maybe the name is not existent that eboot do a string compare on attachment 1 to 2 to 3 since all attachments had the same blank name, thus making them the same item.
• DLC Titles works just fine as long as you activate them with english name on them
• Japanese DLC titles hangs because of JIS character are still present on them (I tried editing on them and yeah, it works, even with Japanese DLC on US base)
• Same with Japanese Skits, because the dialogue is still written in Japanese
• Any other DLC with English confirmation on them (if you are about to activate a DLC and the content of the DLC is displayed in english, that will work without any problems)
About Xillia 1 & 2 of course i got all the DLC done until today for the japanese version. If there is an Undub based on the JPN version we would be able to play them.
Gonna check the Xillia thread now
We might need a Fixing thread for Xillia2 too
4 links are offline.. could you fix it?
could someone upload somewhere DLC for BLUS version? (and tell me also if reactPSN is necessary
mm... or can someone upload a BLJS version with english sub?
