Hi! I think this game is awesome for PSP but nobody pay attention because its in Japanese, so a few days ago i started the adventure about translating it! I can change the texts without problem or crashing, could replace almost all: Weapon Names, Materials, Skill Names, NPCs, Dialogs, Etc...
File System:
All the game's data is stored in 2 files:
LINKDATA_A.BIN -> The data package,(bigfile)
LINKDATA_B.BIN -> file system descriptor (contains information on how the files are stored in the bigfile)
In order to decompress the bigfile, you have two options:
356resource.exe , tool made by @Adtech for extract LINKDATA_A.BIN for Dynasty Warriors.
Sky Lastest Tool - im not posting the link here, just check in the forum.
Audio:
Stored in BGM.BIN and LINKDATA_A.BIN, can be easy extracted and replaced with lastest sky tool. ( Format: .AT3 )
Video:
Separated from the bigfile, is easy to edit-replace-compress the video files in the iso using the normal way. ( Format: .PMF )
Models:
Easy to extract and replace with lastest sky tool. ( Format: .GMO )
Graphics:
The problem is the game have compressed image that i want to translate but its very hard, because i tryed Sky's BigFile Tool and only found 2 PNG that i dont need, and using a LINKDATA_A.BIN extractor i can see the bigfile have some lzp2 compressed files that i have no idea to uncompress.
This is the graphic i want to change, if someone can help me to do that, could be awesome.
Please, if someone is able to help me extracting the graphics will be very nice, beacuse im having nightmares with this
Im using MadEdit / 365Resource (LINKDATA_A.BIN Extractor) / Lastest Sky Tool

UPDATE 16 MAY 2014
I have too much less time now for continue so i will be pausing the project for about 2 months, im very sorry for that.
If someone want to help, can pm me for info about replacing the texts.
Also you can still help fixing the character creation menu i broke. I know how to do it but have no time.
Dialogues are not translated and the description of the tamafuri is short. You can see the percentage of translation in first message.
Enjoy
How to apply the patch
-Open any toukiden .iso (linkdata_a.bin must be untouched) with UMDGen.
-Search for LINKDATA_A.BIN, right click then Apply PPF Patch, and select ppf.ppf
-Save as new .iso or .cso
ATTENTION: Any problem ocurred when translating the character creation menu, and there is a bug when you start a new game.
My suggestion is to create new game with untouched iso, save, then apply the patch. Tutorial is working in the patch.
