PC2Vita file isn't working #3

Open CaptainViridianV opened 3 years ago

CaptainViridianV commented 3 years ago

I'm not entirely sure if it's the files problem or i'm doing something wrong. Trying to use the convert_pc2vita file refuses to open up python and opens it for a milisecond and disappears. I tried every possible way to try getting it to work but refuses.

I'm having the same issue. Unsure if its a bug, or if I'm just very dumb at using python.

Problem solved!

The only thing I would recommend is just editing the instructions to be a little more specific and clearer for non-coders.

After going on reddit, here are the steps I followed to get it to work:

  1. Open up windows command console (cmd)
  2. Paste [py "C:\THE\CONVERTER\SCRIPT" "C:\THE\SAVE\DIRECTORY"], but without the brackets and your own directories
  3. Execute it and it should run!

Thanks it said it worked! but where would i find the converted files that were made?

talbeats commented 3 years ago

It should create a folder right outside the save directory.

I found it and inserted it into where the save file is located but it just says no data when booting it up

I got it to work, but it requires an extra step.

  1. Convert the save file with the Python script.
  2. Copy the folder containing the converted save files to a temporary directory on the Vita, like ux0:/temp.
  3. Using VitaShell, go to the folder containing the save files. Press Triangle, select "Mark All", press Triangle again, select "Copy".
  4. Navigate to ux0:/user/00/savedata.
  5. While hovering on PCSE00120 (USA) or PCSB00245 (EUR), press Triangle and then select "Open decrypted". (Note: if this folder does not exist, start the game once so that the folder can be created.)
  6. While in the save folder, press Triangle and select "Paste".

This method worked for me. You can remove the temp folder afterwards.

Hey! I am not a coder and have almost 0 experience with all of this, except for following some guides. I downloaded python 3.10, copied the pc2vita code into a txt and changed the fileextension to .py, then I copied my P4G savefiles into a new folder and put the .py file in there, started cmd and typed in, as showed by talbeats (without the brackets): py "C:\Users[my user name]\Desktop\Persona\convert_pc2vita.py" "C:\Users[my user name]\Desktop\Persona"

Upon hitting enter it converted everything and used winSCP to move the saves onto my vita as shown in the guide, so in my case, because I am using the EU version: ux0: user/00/savedata/PCSB00245/

I used the data00XX.bin files, the system.bin and I moved the sdslot.dat into the sce_sys folder

When I start up the game I didn't see any save data and I also could not create new saves until I deleted everything I added while in vitashell. I have no idea what went wrong since I got the message that the converting process was succesfull in cmd and all. The other advice from nogeenkopjethee didn't work either, I can not paste things into the folder when I open it decrypted.

My Vita is freshly hacked with Enso 3.65, followed the guide form vita.hacks.guide and I also have all the required patches to run basically anything.

I would appreciate every bit of help

here are the main save files and everything that I converted, if necessary:
