Tales of Vesperia PS3 Menu Patch Version 0.4

[ceonn]

Version 0.4

Im here with the next update for the patch, 0.4.

This version includes a translation for every arte and item (not attachments) A semi-fix for the inability to shop, and my personal favorite, a translation of the Team arena menu. (yes, I did in fact find that by accident)
As an added bonus, Nordopolica has a bunch of new english text to enjoy. Go get your moneys worth out of this game guys, XD. Enjoy!

how to install


First you need to download the PS3-FTP-Server.pkg file. Then download FileZilla, you can google this.
Place the PS3-FTP-Server.pkg on an external
Turn on your PS3 with the dongle in, using whichever way you normally use depending on your PS3
When your PS3 starts up plug in the external
Make sure your PS3 is hooked up to the internet, wired or wireless(DO NOT UPDATE TO 3.2) You don't have to be signed into your profile you just want to make sure your PS3 has internet access
Now go to Install Packages under the games tab, Install PS3-FTP-Server
Once finished it will have it's own icon, like the Backup Manager, start up FTP Server App by clicking on it
Now you will be on the main page, at the top is the IP Address you will need and the Port, which will be 21.
Hit Start and now is the time to go to your PC
Start up FileZilla
At the top is: Host, Username, Password, Port, Quickconnect
Host: (IP ADDRESS that is listed on the PS3-FTP-Server APP)
Username: FTPD12345
Password: (Leave Blank)
Port: 21
Then hit Quickconnect
It will now detect your PS3 (I had a couple errors when I first tried but just kept retrying until it got it, then it never gave me a problem after that)
The files are now listed on the right side, then one you want is "dev_hdd0" Double click it
Themes go in: dev_hdd0/theme
Games go in: dev_hdd0/game/LAUN12345/GAMEZ (If you don't have a GAMEZ folder inside LAUN12345, right click and create directory: GAMEZ)
Now you can put your games inside of there just drag and drop the one big folder inside of there.
At the bottom is Queued files, Failed transfers, Successful transfers
Make sure every file goes to the Succesful transfer section
If any go into Failed transfers right click on it and hit Reset to queue (bottom option)
If ever at the top it disconnects you or says Connection Failed, go to your PS3, hit Stop Server, then right after hit Start again, and it should restart the connection.
You can also try hitting Quickconnect again, and choose the Abort option(Bottom option)

Tip: Inside of Edit -> Settings -> Connection -> FTP, Change Passive to Active, just click it. After doing this I never have gotten another disconnect at all yet, and it seems to go a bit faster transferring

Once this is done, heres how to patch your backup of vesperia...

It's quite easy, actually:
Insert the Vesperia disc into your PS3
Backup the disc to the HDD with your favorite Backup Manager
Navigate to the folder you backed up the game to with your FTP program (I used BlackboxFTP)
Replace the string.svo in the USRDIR folder with the modified string.svo.
Start the game backup
Enjoy English text!

Please report any glitches you find in this thread. much appreciated!

Hardly. I did the work of translating the japanese menu text. All that remains is attachments. Im not trying to be arrogant by saying I did everything here, as this tool is not even mine to begin with, however, I am doing this for free, and I don't like to ask for donations. Considering I get like what.... 4 $ if 1000 people give the link a click, I don't see how thats a big deal. Either way money is tight these days regardless, and it is a game everyone deserves to play in english, but a 5 second add really never hurt anyone.

This is awesome news. Thank you for everybody's contribution to this project. It's nice to finally see some progress with the translation of ToV. Now I only need to find a copy of the game...
