» [guide] 2g To Unite Conversion

Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G Character transfer to Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

The firmware i'm using is 5.00 M33-6, i recommend updating to this firmware or something newer for this guide or if the save file shows up corrupted after a converter has done your save for you update to this firmware and try.

the tools: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jcymjmzmlzm

1. First things first, get the Freecheat and seplugins folder from the downloaded pack and copy them to your memory stick root, if you already had a game.txt file in seplugins then just copy the line from the file and paste it into your file.
Enable freecheat in plugins in the psp's recovery mode and Boot 2g



2. Enter village with selected character to convert

3. press the NOTE button which is next to SELECT, to bring up the freecheat menu then choose MEM Manager' (top right option) then 'DUMP MEMORY' (top option) then start the dump, after you get the dump complete message, press X to go back and then choose 'USB Connect'.



4. Open MHP2ME051.exe and click the '(F) tab' then the top option and select the memdump00X.mem file from your 'MS:/freecheat/dump' folder




5. Click (F) again... then the 2nd option... and select 'FC .pat' name it xy and click save, save it on the desktop

6. There will be a ULJM-05500.pat on the desktop



7. Open Hexworkshop and select the 2g pat file, highlight all bytes up to the first character of the name.. right click 'Delete' so your left with your characters name at the start of the file (You could change their name here if you wanted just follow the format)



8. then press ctrl+A (select all) and ctrl+C (Copy) the file

9. Open a EU/US template whichever you require in hexworkshop and scroll to the bottom were it says n.a.m.e. highlight the word, from the first letter and press ctrl+v (Paste) alot more text should appear it'll be highlight red




10. Then File.. 'SAVE AS'.. xy.pat and copy it to ms:/freecheat/patch

11. Load Up Unite and enter your house with a new character or one that doesn't mean much to you, put the freecheat menu on again, select 'MEM MANAGER' then the Bottom Option 'Load MEM Patch' and choose your xy.pat, if you did it correctly your name, hr and status window should change to your 2g's character. Now you have get your character's appearance back.. either go to the bookshelf and edit hunters appearance or change a piece of equipment in your box.





12. Temporary Bugs and How to fix them

How to fix - black name error - freezing game, all converters should read this to know how to deal with it, should you ever you encounter it. by MiZ

After patching go straight to the item box and change any piece of equipment to make your character... and their face appear.

If the game freezes after patching when you try to enter your house.. first go to the training school before entering your house and re-enter the village.

The felyne chefs will be level 0 for one meal.

You will unlock all gallery movies at once after your first quest.

Felyne fighters names will change to unite's but in quest will still have 2g's names, until you set them to reserve and then active again at the fighters board.

Guild card description will be all squashed up, you'll need to re-enter your description.

The piggie/cats will still wear the clothing they wore on 2g before conversion.. even famitsu outfit

After each quest you will get playing time 100 hours, 200 etc. in the hunters log until it's caught up to your actual hours.

On the Home screen just after Patching O will be enter and X cancel same as 2g

OMG! You've done it! You're the real man! Thanks!!!

Now we're talking

Thanks J_G_! You rock, dude! Good job!


Also is it now okay to put in my request for conversion (outside of this topic, of course)?

if this would've been posted by someone else id ask if this is the real deal.

You're the man J_G_. gonna try this as soon as I can!

Hurray I'm in Unite

EDIT: Yeah, I see what you meant by Tigrex rescreaming

Did you get the quest ID for the DLC Unite quests? Custom quests is what's stopping me from putting away 2G.

Nevermind the original question, I figured it out.

New question: Where do I put the xy.pat after I copy and paste all my stuff, and how do I load it?

Awesome dude. Your the man.

I'm stuck on step 11 x_x

can someone help me? i don't quite understand the 3rd step:

Open Freecheat select 'MEM Manager' then 'Start Dump' and go back and 'USB Connect' in freecheat

top right option then middle option and excellentnuke i'll do it now..

Since 2G and Unite are the same game, I'm pretty sure all we need is a quest ID to replace. The language packs might be a problem, but all we need to do is edit the QE to add the text data a few more times for the other languages.

Wait, do I need 2nd G to do this?

I traded my 2nd G for Unite, so...

To successfully convert, you will need the following:

- A copy of MHP2G
- A copy of MHFU US (if converting to US)
- A copy of MHFU EU (if converting to EU)
- A CFW PSP with freecheat and/or darkcheat.
- A copy of MHP2ME051 (it's a windows application)
- A hex editor
- A usb cable to connect the PSP to a PC
- A copy of J_G's EU gamesave template (if converting to EU)
- A copy of J_G's US gamesave template (if converting to US)

To top all this off, once it's converted, you'll still have to do a few things in-game to "clean up" after the conversion process.
