Hacking Buried Stars English Save Data 'Patch'

Buried Stars Language Save Data Patcher

This is a save data patcher to switch the language to one of the 5 that was available 'on the fly' within the game Buried Stars.

Available language choices:

Korean

English

Japanese

Chinese Simplified

Chinese Traditional


General Info:

The game Buried Stars is only available in Korea for the PS Vita unlike it’s other console counterparts released worldwide. As such, the ability to change the language in game was removed as it was only released in that one region, however the assets for the translations hadn’t been removed from the game, just the setting. This save data patch applies the setting to set the language of the game into whatever you desire as only the in-game setting was removed and not the variable setting it.


Download it here.

Spoiler: Instructions

For a fresh installation:

Step 1: Acquire the base game and/or updates.

Step 2: Boot the game into the main menu once to generate the save data.

Step 3: Google Vita save manager and download the VPK from the first link, also download this patcher.

Step 4: Install save manager, go into it, press the buried stars icon, click backup, then click on the 1st slot and click X.

Step 5: Drag ux0:/data/savegames/PCSH10053/SLOT0/data0000.bin into the "Put Decrypted Savedata Here" folder of this patcher.

Step 6: Double click run.bat, press the number of the language you want, then enter.

Step 7: Close out of the command prompt then drag data0000.bin inside the "Output" folder to ux0:/data/savegames/PCSH10053/SLOT0 and overwrite it.

Step 8: Go back into save manager, press the buried stars icon, press restore, then press on the same slot you backed up and click X.

Step 9: Head into the game, it should now be the language you wanted it to be.



For changing the language after progress has been made in-game:

Step 1: Google Vita save manager and download the VPK from the first link, also download this patcher.

Step 2: Install save manager, go into it, press the buried stars icon, click backup, then click on the 1st slot and click X.

Step 3: Drag ux0:/data/savegames/PCSH10053/SLOT0/data0000.bin into the "Put Decrypted Savedata Here" folder of this patcher.

Step 4: Double click run.bat, press the number of the language you want, then enter.

Step 5: Close out of the command prompt then drag data0000.bin inside the "Output" folder to ux0:/data/savegames/PCSH10053/SLOT0 and overwrite it.

Step 6: Go back into save manager, press the buried stars icon, press restore, then press on the same slot you backed up and click X.

Step 7: Head into the game, it should now be the language you wanted it to be.

Disclaimer:

This game was hastily ported over to the PS Vita. Even on a fresh install without the savegame patch, it doesn't preform well and you should definitely expect lag, long load times etc.

I stuck at step 6: Not a valid Buried Stars save file. I'm pretty sure I did boot into the main menu once. Can you help me?

Thanks for telling me that, I found an error with detecting after updating it recently, I updated the link to patch the bug. You should be able to convert it now, my bad.

I wonder if the Japanese VA can be ported to replace the Korean one.

Didn't know bit.ly had that system in place, sorry about that. I'll change the post to the mega link, thanks for letting me know!

From what I recall when I scanned the files it is possible, just would probably be time consuming.

Good to know. Would be really great if someone did it then.
