TEKKEN 7 PS4 MOD CONVERTER v2.9.38

Automatic PC-to-PS4 Mod Conversion Tool

Created by psCobraSS

Introduction

Introducing Tekken 7 PS4 Mod Converter v2.9.38, a Windows application designed to convert compatible Tekken 7 PC mods into a format suitable for PlayStation 4.

The converter processes texture data, applies PS4-specific texture swizzling, handles supported UI images, and preserves the original mod structure.

The goal of this project is to make PC-to-PS4 mod conversion easier, without requiring users to manually edit every texture or use Unreal Engine cooking.

This version has been successfully built and tested with converted mods on a real PS4 console.

Development continues through real-world testing and community feedback.

What's New in v2.9.38?

1. Automatic BC5 Texture Conversion — NEW!

One of the biggest improvements in this update is the introduction of automatic BC5 texture processing.

The converter can now detect compatible PF_BC5 textures in different PC mods and apply PS4 texture swizzling.

BC5 is commonly used for normal maps, including:

• Character clothing and body details
• Stage floors and walls
• Buildings and environmental objects
• Rocks and other surface details
• Animal models and stage decorations
• Various character and stage textures

Unlike the earlier experimental implementation, this feature is no longer restricted to one specific stage mod.

The converter automatically checks compatible BC5 assets and processes their mip levels.

Historic Town Square TTT2 Test Results:

• 17 BC5 textures detected
• 17 BC5 textures processed
• 199 BC5 mip levels swizzled
• 0 unsupported textures reported
• All 1,633 PAK entries retained
• All 4 stage UI textures processed

These results demonstrate the improved handling of BC5 textures compared with the previous version.

2. Improved SafeMip Processing

The SafeMip system helps prevent texture corruption during conversion.

It handles compatible texture mip data while preserving important asset information.

The converter also checks converted data to avoid accidentally restoring original PC texture bytes over successfully converted PS4 texture data.

3. Expanded Stage Mod Support

The converter includes processing for supported stage textures and environmental assets.

Features include:

• Stage texture conversion
• Supported external .ubulk texture processing
• Inline texture mip processing
• Stage selection UI texture conversion
• BC5 normal map support
• SafeMip protection for supported assets

This improves compatibility with various custom Tekken 7 stages.

4. Improved UI and Character Selection Images

The program processes compatible textures inside:

TekkenGame/Content/UI_common/Texture2D/ReplaceImages

Including supported character and stage interface assets such as:

• Character selection portraits
• Character SLOT images
• HUD character icons
• Versus screen images
• Character panels
• Stage selection images
• Other compatible UI textures

Supported textures are processed according to their pixel format, including the padding required by certain PS4 texture layouts.

5. Supported Texture Formats

The converter includes processing paths for compatible textures using:

• PF_DXT1 / BC1
• PF_DXT5 / BC3
• PF_BC7
• PF_B8G8R8A8
• PF_BC5

Texture compatibility depends on the asset layout and mip data.

Unsupported formats may require additional development.

6. Character Mod Compatibility Improvements

This release retains earlier conversion and repair logic, including fixes developed for special character asset structures.

The converter includes automatic checks and repair routines for certain Geese Howard, Eliza, and Noctis-related assets.

These improvements are designed to reduce conversion problems involving compatible character mods.

7. No Unreal Engine Cooking Required

The converter uses the original PC mod assets as its starting point.

For supported mods, the process does not require:

• Unreal Engine cooking
• Manual skeletal mesh editing
• Manual material editing
• Rebuilding character models
• Recreating textures from scratch

The original mod structure and asset references are preserved wherever possible.

8. Automatic PAK Processing

The program handles the conversion workflow automatically.

It includes:

• PAK file reading and processing
• Texture format detection
• PS4 swizzle conversion
• Supported mip processing
• Automatic repair routines
• PAK rebuilding
• Conversion progress display
• Detailed conversion reports

The internal Unreal Engine paths are preserved to maintain compatibility with the original mod layout.

9. Large Mod Support

The application uses a 64-bit conversion environment to support larger mods and stage packages.

Large files may require significant system memory and processing time, depending on their contents.

Performance and compatibility can vary between mods.

10. Arabic and English Interface

The application includes:

• Arabic language support
• English language support
• Language switching
• Conversion progress indicator
• Detailed operation log
• File browsing
• Tekken 7-themed interface

How to Use

1. Download the converter.
2. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary.
3. Launch the EXE file.
4. Select your original Tekken 7 PC .pak mod.
5. Choose the output location.
6. Click the conversion button.
7. Wait until the process reaches 100%.
8. Check the generated PS4 PAK and conversion report.
9. Install the converted mod using a compatible PS4 mod installation method.
10. Test the mod in-game.

Important: This application converts PAK files. It does not automatically install mods on your PS4.

System Requirements

• Windows PC
• 64-bit Windows operating system
• Sufficient available RAM and disk space
• Original Tekken 7 PC mod in PAK format

The application is packaged as a standalone Windows executable.

Users do not need to install Python to run the packaged EXE.

The Windows 7 64-bit build has been tested during development. Compatibility with other Windows versions should be confirmed by users.

Compatibility and Important Notes

• Not every PC mod is guaranteed to work on PS4.
• Some mods contain unsupported or unusual asset formats.
• Some custom models may require additional fixes.
• Conversion success does not always guarantee in-game compatibility.
• Mods using unsupported cooked assets may not convert correctly.
• Large mods may require substantial memory and time.
• Always keep a backup of your original PC mod.
• Test converted mods before distributing them.

This project is continuously improved based on testing results.
