Getting Started

Requirements and initial setup.

Requirements

• A registered installation of 64-bit Windows 11 or Windows 10*

  • *Windows 10 will no longer be supported October 2025

• An unmodified installation of Persona 4 Golden from Steam

  • Only English text language is supported

  • Both English and Japanese voices are supported

• At least 2 GB of free space on your hard drive

An experimental version of P4G CEP is available for the Steam Deck.

Follow the setup instructions on the P4G CEP-XP page.

The following platforms are not supported at this time:

• Console releases of P4 or P4G

• The Microsoft Store / PC Game Pass release of P4G

• Mac or Linux desktop PCs

We do not provide support for pirated copies of the game.

Show File Extensions

By default, Windows Explorer hides the extensions of file types it recognizes (.EXE, .PNG, etc.).

It's important that these be visible when setting up mods or asking for support, so we will make sure Windows always shows file extensions for all file types.

Windows 11

• Open a File Explorer window (it doesn't matter where).

• Click the View button at the top of the window.

• Click Show > File name extensions.

Windows 10

• Open a File Explorer window (it doesn't matter where).

• Click the View tab at the top of the window.

• Check the box labelled File name extensions if it is not checked already.

Upgrade from Older P4G CEP

If this is your first time using P4G CEP, skip this step.

If you are upgrading from an older version of P4G CEP, you will need to delete some legacy modding files to make way for the new ones.

Follow the instructions below based on what version of P4G CEP you were using before:

12.x – 11.x

Delete Old Reloaded II + Setup Folders

Aemulus Package Manager is no longer used for modding P4G on PC - we now use a new mod loader called Persona Essentials that works with all of the PC Persona games directly through Reloaded II.

Keep your Aemulus folder if you are still using it to mod Persona 5 Strikers or one of the console/emulated Persona games; otherwise, you can delete it.
