Configure the Reloaded II mod loader.

Last updated 24 days ago

Launch Reloaded II

First Launch

  • Open your /P4G-Mods/_Reloaded II/ directory.

  • Right-click Reloaded-II.exe (you'll have to scroll down a bit) and select Open with Protontricks Launcher.

Make sure to launch Reloaded-II.exe and not Reloaded-II32.exe.

If you don't see Open with Protontricks Launcher, select Open With and manually select Utilities > Protontricks from the menu that appears.

  • In the Protontricks window, select Persona 4 Golden and click OK.

Your Reloaded II window should look like this when you first launch the program:

The Reloaded II window flashes when I move my mouse around.

This can happen when moving your mouse over a button with a tooltip. It is a side effect of running the program through Proton and not anything to be worried about.

A window called "Update Available" or "Mod Updates Available" appeared.
  • Select Update or Download and wait for the download to complete.

  • Reloaded II will automatically close and restart after updating.

A window called "Reloaded II Tutorial" appeared.
  • Select Skip the Tutorial to close the window.

Set Executable Path

Reloaded II needs to know where the P4G.exe executable is so it can launch the game and inject our mods with Persona Essentials.

Select P4G

  • Select the Persona 4 Golden icon on the left side of the Reloaded II window.

You'll now be in the Configure Mods window for Persona 4 Golden.

Open Application Settings

  • Under the Main section on the left side of the window, select Edit Application.

You'll now be in the Edit Application window for P4G.

  • Behold the protagonist's dreamy face.

I'm beholding the protagonist's glitchy face instead!

Don't worry, this is just a visual bug and won't affect the game itself. Keep going!

Update File Path

  • Select the Update button to update the file path to start browsing for P4G.exe.

A file picker window will open.

  • Select My Computer to view all the drives (real and virtual) connected to the Steam Deck.

Where you go next depends on where P4G is installed:

  • Navigate to:

Z:\home\deck\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Persona 4 Golden
  • Select P4G.exe, then click Save.

This is the tricky part about modding P4G on the microSD card.

Make sure to go slowly and follow every step!

Get microSD Card ID

  • Navigate to:

Z:\run\media\deck\

You'll see a directory named with a random string of letters and numbers here. This is your microSD card ID, which you'll need in a later step.

  • In a text editor (KWrite or Kate), make a note of your microSD card ID and save it as a TXT file in your /P4G-Mods/Notes/ directory.

Continue to P4G.exe

  • Back in Reloaded II, continue navigating the full file path:

Z:\run\media\deck\<microsd-card-id>\steamapps\common\Persona 4 Golden
  • Select P4G.exe, then click Save.

  • Double-check that line next to the Update button shows your path to P4G.exe.

Moving On

Congrats, that was the hardest step!

  • Keep Reloaded II open and go to the next page.
