P5R Modding Guide #4 - PAK Archives
Learn how to replace files inside PAC archives using Amicitia. I'll even go over how to emulate individual files in PAC, as well as how to handle an edge case where you want to emulate an SPD within an emulated PAC.
This is part of my new series of videos, where I share everything I learned about Persona modding from the past 10 years. I'm starting with Persona 5 Royal PC and working backwards. Video topics will get more complex as the series continues, ensuring that beginners can follow along.
