[Deleted member 586454]

Hey so I know everyone here is incredibly smart with making mods but I would love to mod dragon ball kakarot on switch but I been finding it very difficult to get any mod To work I been trying with models that are already in the game but are only usable during certain segments in the game like whis gi etc but I want to be abks to use it though the whole game just like pc players do I already have the files to do it only problem is I dont know how to make it show up in games as I have tried the pc way etc but no luck as it uses .pak file format any help will be greatly appreciated.

I haven’t done this before personally, but it looks like .pak files can be rebuilt for use on the Switch layerdfs.

That page was kind of a mess. Did you make it to the actual github page with cleaner instructions and better links?

My God.
Those games are not using the same engine. Don't recommend any tool related to any Monster Hunter release. Period.

Kakarot is using Unreal Engine 4.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-unpack-and-repack-unreal-engine-4-files.531784/

Textures needs reswizzling and resizing.
Audio needs reconverting to supported codec.
And any code injection requires completely new approach specific to Switch release. If you know nothing about reverse engineering, then you won't do anything.

My guess is you missed first point of second tab...

1. Copy *.pak file you want to check to unpacked UnrealPakSwitch folder.

Please don't shortcut tutorial...

I'm the same brother, I think you are on the right path. Don't listen to masagrator, he seems like the typical idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about even though he has a vague idea. brother, please try it... the last step would be to convert the extracted and modified folders into .nsp or .xci files with the nca sdk and so on, it is complicated. The only thing I want is to create a cinema mode by eliminating the hud and other excess elements of this spectacular game, but it seems not easy.

You are actually wrong, you dont need to convert into .nsp, today i made my first Kakarot switch mod using the pakchunk files from switch and the asset editor, you just need to repack the files folder after editing them in a new .pak
