We will use a dedicated directory for our P3F modding tools. If you ever need to create a file backup, take a screenshot, or write down a note, save it in this folder to stay organized.
Unzip your downloaded P3F CEP archive and locate the P3F Mods folder inside.
Move the P3F Mods folder to a suitable location on your PC.
We recommend creating a new top-level directory, such as C:\Mods.
Double-check your folder path!
Make sure your P3F Mods folder is NOT in any of these locations:
OneDrive
Program Files / Program Files (x86)
The Downloads, Documents, or Desktop folders
The Music, Pictures, or Videos folders
Any Steam or Steam library folder
If your P3F Mods folder is in one of these locations, you must move it to a different location before continuing.
Aemulus Package Manager is a program that downloads, organizes, and builds mods for many different Persona games. It's included with P3F CEP!
Since you might want to use Aemulus for multiple Persona games, not just P3F, we'll place it alongside the P3F Mods folder instead of inside it.
In your unzipped P3F CEP archive, locate the Aemulus folder inside.
What you do next depends on whether you already have an Aemulus installation on your PC.
Move the Aemulus folder to the same location as your P3F Mods folder.
Do not skip this step, even if you've already done this before!
The prerequisite installer regularly gets updated with the latest runtimes that contain performance and security fixes.
There is a .NET Visual C++ core package that PCSX2 and Aemulus requires to run properly. You can install it automatically or manually.
P3F CEP includes the Persona Prerequisite Installer program (source), which will automatically download and install the prerequisite you need. As a bonus, you'll install all of the prerequisites needed to mod other Persona games as well!
Open your P3F Mods\Setup folder.
Run Install_Prerequisites.exe. A console window should appear.
Follow the instructions to install each of the prerequisites you are missing.
