Yes if the console window asks you to type Y/N and then either press the enter key to enter the input

or press the OK button to the right of the input area to enter the input.

NOTE: If the files you are replacing in the PAK file are significantly larger than the old one it will throw an error and not allow you to continue reimporting. You MUST
import files as close to the original file size or smaller. This is an issue with MD5 junks and the game will not read the data. Which is why I added the error function
so you do not accidentally screw up the game files and/or your save files.
