Installation

Game information
Japanese title アイドルマスターSP パーフェクトサン
English title Idolm@ster SP: Perfect Sun
Japanese title アイドルマスターSP ワンダリングスター
English title Idolm@ster SP - Wandering Star
Japanese title アイドルマスターSP ミッシングムーン
English title Idolm@ster SP - Missing Moon

Requirements:

  • This is written for Windows.
  • Dump your game to ISO.
  • UMDGen or any similar tool that allows you to modify psp .iso files.
  • Download imas_sp_tl.zip.
    • It is advised to extract the contents of the .zip in a \imas_sp_tl\ folder for the patching .bat scripts to work without issues.
    • This zip file has images from TLWiki, scripts and mails. This text should be included on a .txt too.

1 Open your ISO file:

  • Use UMDGen for this (File - Open Disk Image), 7zip or whatever and extract YUMFILE_*.bin from the \PSP_GAME\USRDIR\ folder into the imas_sp_tl folder.
    • YUMFILE_1.bin - Perfect Sun (PS)
    • YUMFILE_2.bin - Wandering Star (WS)
    • YUMFILE_3.bin - Missing Moon (MM)

2 Patch the script files:

  • Run patch_scripts.bat. Please make sure to follow its initial instructions. Wait until it finishes, this step will need some time.
  • This process will decode all the Japanese scripts from the game and re-encode them with the English script lines.
  • When it finishes successfully, it will leave a new, modified YUMFILE_*.bin back at \imas_sp_tl\. If some random gibberish shows up on the command window, patch may have failed.

3 Repack the ISO:

  • Open your .iso file with UMDGen (File - Open Disk Image), place the new YUMFILE_*.bin inside the \PSP_GAME\USRDIR\ folder (Right click - Add - Existing Files or just drag and drop).
  • Delete all content from the \SYSDIR\ folder and add the EBOOT.BIN located at \imas_sp_tl\.
  • Press File - Save as - .iso and save it with another name. Do not overwrite your original .iso.

4 Patch images and lines:

  • Run the imas-patcher-plus.exe located inside \imas-patcher-plus\ and press Select ISO...).
  • After this, select Add files... and choose all the files inside \patcher_content\ (lines.txt, images and mails).
  • Press Apply (2-3 warnings may pop but it should be ok).

5 Done:

  • It is advised to test your .iso on PPSSPP to check possible crashes or broken texts.
  • You can preview the latter by leaving the game on the "Press Start" screen, since random ingame dialogue will show up after a while.
  • If something fails during this process, or you just want to check more documentation, more readme files which may provide more in-depth explanations are available inside the /imas-psp/ folder.

(Extra) DLC Mails:

  • Add the files in mail_dlc into your \PSP\GAME\NPXP00100\MAIL\ folder.
