PS Vita / Re: [Release] Sharpscale - native 960x544 HDMI output for PSTV

« Last post by ecto on March 13, 2023, 10:19:11 PM »

Are there any news on other video modes like 1080p30? Probably not, as I couldn't even find the github anymore... 😞

News / Back online: new hosting platform

« Last post by chrisdevchroma on February 08, 2023, 11:51:13 PM »

Good new everyone, the forum is back online after moving it to a new hosting platform.

Long story short, during the move the database got fubar'ed and needed to be restored. No data was lost since the last backup before the move was just 4h old.

The forum will be upgraded to the latest SMF version somewhere in the future, hopefully it has good working anti-bot plugins again.

Sharpscale Config Menu fails to load on PSVita Devkits (PDEL-1000)

PS Vita / Re: [CHOVY] Valkyria Chronicles 3 translation (not working)

« Last post by Knofbath on July 20, 2022, 08:44:33 PM »

Alright, Discord user @delon got in touch with me. Author of the pgd-encrypter program from way back, who worked on this before I even thought of it. He's donated an encrypted and translated DATA.BIN that he made for personal use with firmware 3.18 PSP bubbles.

pgd-encrypter apparently requires a substantially similar header to the original file in order to re-encrypt it, something that was out of scope for my previous attempt.

But now that I have the DATA.BIN, we can go back and finish this.

Extract ISO from EBOOT.PBP that delon gave me, run it through CHOVY, and it works first try. GG, well played, fixed before CHOVY-SIGN even came out. (Never publicly released though.)


Title is in JP, but he's replaced the icons. I guess we can go through and fix the title? I've also noticed that the translation is built upon the original VC3 release, so let's try building this into the VC3 Extra Edition release instead.

New problem, same as the old problem, black screens on load.  Wut. I've only changed 2 files, why is this happening to me.

 I tried for dozens of iterations of rebuilding the ISO, was still coming up with nothing. Then in an effort to speed the iteration process up, I compressed it in CHOVY-SIGN, and... it worked.  Wut.


I give up.

Changed files (delon): 

Code: [Select]

PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\EBOOT.BIN  - modified to English exit dialog instead of JP by delon (I decided not to include this, eboot.bin is attached below if you want it)
PSP_GAME\INSDIR\DATA.BIN - translation by Valkyria Chronicles 3 Translation Project, compressed by delon
PSP_GAME\ICON0.PNG - english text 
PSP_GAME\PIC0.PNG - english text
PSP_GAME\INSDIR\ICON0.PNG - english text
PSP_GAME\USRDIR\ICON/SS_ICON0.PNG - english text
PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\OPNSSMP.BIN - dummied out
PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\UPDATE\*.* - dummied out
Changed files (mine):
Using ULJM-05957 (VALKYRIA3E2) as base

Code: [Select]

PSP_GAME/INSDIR/DATA.BIN - translation by Valkyria Chronicles 3 Translation Project, compressed by delon
PSP_GAME/PARAM.SFO - corrected GAMEID to ULJM-05957, Title to Valkyria Chronicles 3 Extra Edition
PSP_GAME/ICON0.PNG - english text (cleaned up by a fraction, bit depth 32>24)
PSP_GAME/PIC0.PNG - english text (bit depth 8>32)
PSP_GAME/INSDIR/ICON0.PNG - english text
PSP_GAME/USRDIR/ICON/SS_ICON0.PNG - english text
PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\OPNSSMP.BIN - dummied out
PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\UPDATE\*.* - dummied out

xdelta: 
https://me ga.nz/file/Y89GmBpQ#9E6H0iSBC7Uhl6r5zzm32-d3IxVOWDOtTrVVr2kFUXk

Instructions:
Run the xdelta.bat against that file, or use a patching program of your choice that accepts xdelta.
Install with CHOVY-SIGN, I suggest the v2, since v3 wasn't working for me.
I only had 2/3 success installing via QCMA, what worked was switching CHOVY to Compressed mode. YMMV.

Can someone help, maybe a dev member who helped create this plugin.

All my psp games stopped working after installing and trying to uninstall this plugin.

I'm assuming even though i uninstalled the plugin, some of the config files were changed and were not reverted back.

I also would not prefer to format everything and start from zero, thanks.
