Basics to adding custom graphics on PES 2012 for newbies

PES 2012 employs a system of *.bin files, contained in img folders. So, the first thing you should know is how to edit.

If you open up your PES install folder you will find that there is a folder named IMG, (this will be there even if you dont have any patches installed). However, if you do have patches involved then there is another folder named the KITSERVER, which houses all the img folders and within them the *.bin files that the patch has edited. 






So, to install your custom graphics you need to edit the patch IMG folder's BIN files. For example, if you want to edit the first screen you see while PES 2012 opens up (it normally is the KONAMI screen), then you need to o into the KITSERVER folder and then onto the patch folder (I have SMOKE Patch, so the folder there is SMOKE_black 47) and in there you will find the IMG folder. There you will find a folder dt06.img, and in there a file named konami_679.bin. This is where the images for the start screens are located.

Now you need a editor program, I use the ULTIMATE DATA EDITOR for PES 2012, by barcafan; you can find this here, http://www.pes-patch.com/2011/11/pes-ultimate-data-explorer-v2-8-6-by-barcafan.html

Download it and extract it anywhere you feel comfortable, open the PESUDE.exe and you will come to this screen



Backup your files before editing


Now open the konami_679.bin, from the PES install folder/kitserver/patch_name/img/dt06.img/ or PES install folder/img/dt06.img

Once you open this file you will see a screen like this:




Select the titleKonami.tex file, to replace the first screen you see while the game starts, if you want to replace the screen after that then the ESRB screen select the titleEsrbNoText.tex

When you do this the screen in the editor changes, now click the open PNG under the image editor tab, to select a screen you want at the start
Any file you select must be a PNG file, with 1024*1024 resolution, like this picture:


Once you select the file, click on replace image and then on save icon. Now when you start the game you will see that after the Konami screen this file will appear.

Hope it was helpful, enjoy the game.
