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:

The english game can't handle japanese costume DLCs properly, but the others should work. You can find the list of the working ones on page 78.
I'll try to make some user friendly guide until then.
