Senjou no Valkyria 3: Extra Edition translation by "Valkyria Chronicles 3 Translation Project"
http://www.romhacking.net/translations/3562/https://vc3translationproject.wordpress.com/Translation file changes:1. \PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\EBOOT.BIN - seems to load prometheus.prx then EBOOT.OLD
2. \PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\prometheus.prx - UMD plugin used in 5.50 prometheus CFW
3. \PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\EBOOT.OLD - EBOOT.BIN with unknown changes
4. \PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\BOOT.BIN - resized and empty, not important
5. \PSP_GAME\PIC0.PNG - English text
6. \PSP_GAME\INSDIR\DATA.BIN - decrypted DATA.BIN, much larger than original
Fixes required for CHOVY:1. Delete EBOOT.BIN and prometheus.prx, obsolete method of loading altered files.
2. Rename EBOOT.OLD to EBOOT.BIN and resign/replace.
3. DATA.BIN - unknown if changes needed
2. Rename EBOOT.OLD to EBOOT.BIN and resign/replace.
EBOOT.OLD is an unsigned ELF file, appears to be a modified version of the JP EBOOT.BIN
So, let's resign it using the same signature as the JP EBOOT.BIN

Initializing KIRK engine...
Resigning EBOOT file with tag D91613F0
Done!Problem:So, we insert resigned EBOOT.BIN, PIC0.PNG, and DATA.BIN into the JP ISO. Convert with CHOVY-SIGN, transfer with QCMA.
But, the game black screens on us. (Note: This CHOVY dump does work in Adrenaline. ISO works in Adrenaline as well.)
Q: Why is it not running/why am I getting a black screen on “insert CFW here.”
A: We don’t know. We don’t have the time to test and release a patch that’s compatible with every CFW, so please use a different one. For reference, our programmer is using a phat PSP (PSP-1000) with 5.50 prome-2 CFW.
The 2 possibilities for fixing it are:
1. Fix the EBOOT.OLD/BIN to clean up whatever programming error is fucking shit up.
2. Re-encrypt the DATA.BIN and see i that fixes the PSPEMU issue or try to pass it to JP EBOOT.BIN.
I did try the program from this thread, but it attempts to write to 0x00000000 and fails silently when fed unenrypted VC3 DATA.BIN.
