This guide will provide instructions on how to install P5EX, ensuring that you have both the mod and it's associated patches installed correctly. There is a video version of this guide, if you'd like that instead (coming soon).

The guide assumes that you are using RPCS3 as your PS3 emulator of choice and have a copy of P5 already loaded in **along with all of its DLC installed.**&#x20;

If you're unsure if you have the DLC installed, you can make a quick check by going to the [DLC check page.](other/dlc-check)

**Note:&#x20;**_**If you are not using P5EX do not use P5EX patches**_**. The old patches (such as Enable Mod CPK support) becomes obsolete under the assumption you are actually using P5EX.**

**Note: If you have pirated the game, you may encounter issues while setting up P5EX. Some pirated copies may alter the code which can further complicate the set up process of this mod. Please proceed with caution.**
