Japanese Voices With Japanese Text

[raeldor]

Hi,

I want to add the voices to the Japanese text version, but when I copy the Japanese DIR files into the games_files directory (for sora FC) and then go into en.fc and empty the out.msg, out.py and py folders then run clean and add voice, it says 'No paths found in vPath.txt'. What exactly is the flow here? What is it extracting from the DIR files and what is it expecting to be present? From the stuff expected to be present, where is it coming from? I was expecting the script to extract the python scripts from the game files and then add the voice calls into the scripts, but it seems I'm missing something fundamental.

I also tried extracting the SN files using the falcom tool and then using EDDecompiler to get the PY files and placing those inside the py folder, but that didn't seem to help either.

Thanks

Please use English(Steam) version's DIR files even if you are trying to make Japanese scripts.
And I think you could find many files in folders en.fc/py, en.fc/out.msg, en.fc/out.py. They are based on English scripts, can't be used for Japanese scripts. You should make these files based on Japanese scripts first. This is not easy.

May I ask how the TXT files were generated? Surely they weren't made by hand? Thanks.

[ZhenjianYang]

I will answer you later...

[raeldor]

Appreciate the replies. Thank you.

I tried to explain everything in 'instructions.txt'.
But if you still have questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you for this. Having trouble extracting the psarc file at the moment, keeps giving me invalid header. Will let you know how I progress though.

[ZhenjianYang]

Can you share me more details?
Which took did you use to extract psarc files and how?
What's the error message?

[raeldor]

I used this tool...

https://github.com/MRGhidini/Psvimgtools-Easy-FrontEnd/releases

To extract the image file. I generated the user using my PSID user name. I even downloaded the command line tool to make sure the relevant IDs were being generated properly. After that, when trying to extract the data.psarc with the psarc tool I get the error...

psarc error: Invalid header (bad magic number 0x906C0956)

It's actually the EXACT same error this dude got...

But he didn't post his solution, so I don't know how he fixed it.

Thanks for your interest.

This tool is not used for extracting psarc files.
To extract a psarc file, check:
https://github.com/ZhenjianYang/SoraVoice/blob/master/README.md#1-extract-datapsarc

That's the same tool I used to extract the archive, except I used the command line version. The psvimg tools was just used to extract files from the backup. Just for fun I compiled and ran this exact version, but it didn't do anything. Just put up the name of the psarc file then quit out.

[ZhenjianYang]

data.psarc wasn't extracted from the game's backup correctly.
This is the only reason which I can come up with.

[raeldor]

I thought the same thing, especially after seeing the other guy's comment, but I've copied it from my device twice now and extracted it twice. I even extracted it manually using the command line tools and same issue. :(

[ZhenjianYang]

I never tried Psvimgtools Easy FrontEnd.
Maybe you can try another way to dump your game.

[raeldor]

I'm doing this on a non-hacked vita on the latest firmware. I'm pulling the backup down using Qcma and then decrypting using Psvimgtools. I don't know any other ways to get the psarc files. Do you know another method?

[ZhenjianYang]

I only know how to dump a game with a hacked vita...

Fortunately you don't really need the folder msg, you only need the folder out.msg.
You can copy them from this repository.
I recommend you copy cn.fc/msg, cn.sc/msg, cn.3rd/msg instead of en versions.

But for the voice files, you have to find another way.
