Building a Custom Persona 5 (PS4) Patch

Dump the following files from your copy of Persona 5:
Code:
```
sce_sys/npbind.dat
sce_sys/nptitle.dat
eboot.bin
```
Place npbind.dat and nptitle.dat in the provided patch/sce_sys/ directory.
Apply the patches you'd like to use to eboot.bin.

Note that the mod support patch is required for loading mod.cpk.

Place the patched eboot.bin in the provided patch/USRDIR/ directory.
Package the mods you'd like to use into a mod.cpk file using your preferred method.

Place mod.cpk in the patch/USRDIR/ directory (an empty dummy mod.cpk is provided in the patch directory, replace it with your own).
Edit patch.gp4 and set app_path to point to your base Persona 5 package.

Check that your final patch/ directory structure matches the following listing:

Code:

patch/sce_sys/changeinfo/changeinfo.xml
patch/sce_sys/npbind.dat
patch/sce_sys/nptitle.dat
patch/sce_sys/param.sfo
patch/USRDIR/mod.cpk
patch/eboot.bin
patch.gp4
