This repository is for Valkyria Chronicles 3 Extra Edition translation project.

This is a different translation from the old incomplete 2014 project. Refer to changelist in the doc directory.

You might also want to check the Aces list there, as they differ from the old patch and/or fandom wiki.

Patching instructions

Download the latest release on Releases page. Ignore the source zip. Only the release will contain everything needed for patching.

1. You will need original Japanese ISO dump, as well as DLCs. Supported ISOs:

PSN version:
ISO CRC32: 279895E4
ISO MD5: 02CD1C0BB42181BD34D2FE711FB0558D

UMD version:
ISO CRC32: 6F0D3AA6
ISO MD5: 5CB612D3062149C15130A73383A627D2

2. The release will contain three folders with self-explanatory names.
3. Put your ISO into 1_PUT_JAPANESE_ISO_HERE. You don't need to rename it in any special way, just make sure it's the only *.iso file in there.
4. Put your DLCs into 2_PUT_JAPANESE_DLCS_HERE, either with or without NPJH50343. You should have structure like this:

2_PUT_JAPANESE_DLCS_HERE
|
|-DL1B
|  |-DL1B.EDAT
|  |-DL1B_DATA.EDAT
|
|-DL1C
|  |-DL1C.EDAT
|  |-DL1C_DATA.EDAT
...

or, alternatively, like this:

2_PUT_JAPANESE_DLCS_HERE
|
|-NPJH50343
    |
    |-DL1B
    |  |-DL1B.EDAT
    |  |-DL1B_DATA.EDAT
    |
    |-DL1C
    |  |-DL1C.EDAT
    |  |-DL1C_DATA.EDAT
...

5. You may need to allow powershell to run downloaded scripts. To do so, open Windows PowerShell through start menu (possibly as administrator) and run the following:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force

You can confirm it worked by running:

Get-ExecutionPolicy

It should return RemoteSigned.

6. Right click on the file patch_everything.ps1 -> Run with PowerShell. Wait for patching to complete. You should have a new ISO and a NPJH50343 directory with DLCs in 3_GET_PATCHED_CONTENT_HERE.

7. To install DLCs in PPSSPP emulator, put NPJH50343 into memstick\PSP\GAME\. If you don't know where memstick is, use File->Open Memory Stick in the emulator (on Windows), or Settings->System->PSP Memory Stick->Memory stick folder (should be present in some way on all platforms). If you have a prior installation of DLCs in there - delete it entirely. This patch trims duplicate content that was moved onto E2 disk.
