Translating CVMS engine without repacking or changing directory (クナド国記)

[Sisulizer]

Here is another guide how to hack CMVS engine .pb3 and .ps3, tested on Amatsutsumi(English), Seishun Fragile, Kunado Kokuki. I haven't tested on older format like .ps2 and .pb2 so I can't guarantee, but it might work who knows?

Tool requirement:

• _ Ps3 extract/insert tool (need python 3.x, also the line break should be \n)
• _ CmvsFileHook (need visual studio to build)
• _ GARbro (for extracting .ps3 and converting .pb3 to .png)
• _ xdb64
• _ CFF explorer (or different tool to inject the dll)

* The hook will help the engine jump to decryption algorithm (xor and decompress), that's why you just need to rename edited .png to .pb3 and put unencrypted ps3 in a folder which the hook preference to.

* The process is kinda complicated so I recorded a video how to do step by step here: Link

This is the final result:

Kunado Kokuki:

Amatsutsumi (Eng): (Because GARbro didn't work on this version so I use different tool to dump to bmp that explains why the image is not transparent)

Seishun Fragile:

CmvsFileHook does not currently exist...
If it does exist, you should update the guide, because the one currently available on github is not clear where to put the entry points.
