YakuzaParless

ASI hook that redirects file paths in Yakuza series PC games to allow loading loose files outside of game archives.

Installation

Refer to Ryu Mod Manager, as this project is not intended to work on its own.

Usage

Please check Ryu Mod Manager wiki.

Current Limitations

While most of the files in the supported games can be redirected by Parless, there are some files that are loaded from other functions that are still unsupported. Future support for these files is expected. These files consist mostly of middleware audio and video containers.

The files can be summed up as the following:

For Yakuza 5 only:

ALL .usm files
ALL .cpk files
ALL .hca and .adx files

For all games:

ALL .usm files

Building

Use Premake to generate the solution files.
