If you are reading this, you are likely one of two people: either you are a seasoned PES 2019 modder with a hard drive full of kits, faces, and stadiums, or you are a frustrated player who just downloaded a massive patch (like Smoke Patch, VirtuaRED, or Dream Patch) only to be greeted by a crash, a freeze, or the dreaded "black screen of death."
For the uninitiated, modding Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 is an art form. It transforms Konami’s already excellent gameplay into a hyper-realistic football universe. However, beneath the surface of beautiful 4K faces and chanting crowd sounds lies a brutal, unforgiving gatekeeper: The .dpfilelist.
Today, we are putting the spotlight on a tool that has saved thousands of modding hours and prevented countless rage-induced keyboard smashes: PES 2019 DPFILELIST GENERATOR V1.3.
Let’s break down what this tool is, why you need it, and how to use it like a pro. PES 2019 DPFILELIST GENERATOR V1.3
Perhaps the most overlooked feature is the integrated backup system. Before generating a new DPFileList.bin, v1.3 automatically creates a timestamped backup of your existing file. If you botch the order, restoring your previous setup is a single click.
Before you even open the tool, you must set up your folders correctly, or the tool will not work.
| Step | Action |
|------|--------|
| 1 | Extract original CPK using CRI Packed File Maker |
| 2 | Replace or add files in the extracted folder |
| 3 | Run DPFILELIST Generator v1.3 → select folder → generate |
| 4 | Replace old dpfilelist.bin inside the folder |
| 5 | Repack CPK with the new file list |
Issue: "The program can't start because MSVCR120.dll is missing" By: The Virtual Pitch Modder Date: October 26,
Issue: The game crashes on startup (Black screen then close)
Issue: "Error creating dpfilelist.bin"
Before we celebrate the solution, we have to understand the problem. PES 2019 uses a proprietary archiving system. When you download a face pack or a boot pack, you usually drag a .cpk file into your download folder.
But how does the game know which .cpk to load? It reads a file called dpfilelist.bin. Perhaps the most overlooked feature is the integrated
Here is the nightmare scenario: You install Patch A (which loads face_1.cpk, face_2.cpk). Then you install Patch B (which loads stadium_1.cpk). Patch B comes with its own dpfilelist.bin that overwrites Patch A’s list. Suddenly, all your faces are gone. Or worse—the game refuses to boot because the new list contains a typo or a duplicate entry.
Editing the dpfilelist.bin manually? It’s like trying to read a foreign language written in invisible ink. You need a translator. You need a generator.
Modding is a global passion. Version 1.3 shipped with English, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, and Russian interfaces, making it accessible to the largest PES communities in South America, Europe, and Asia.
