If the hashes match exactly and your AV program still detects the files as dangerous please follow the products procedures for submitting a false positive result. - Hexadecimal editor specialized for 'search' and 'rewrite' such as saved game file.
If you downloaded PS2 Save Builder from any other site make sure you confirm that the hashes match exactly, if you have any doubt download again from here. Use the SHA256 hashes below to ensure you have a safe version of PS2 Save Builder: The executable file utilises a technique called ‘packing’, viruses use this to disguise their true nature, and this is setting off a few AV products causing them to detect it as malicious. The great folks over at Trend Micro took a deeper look at what was causing this and I’m happy to confirm that if you’ve downloaded Ps2 Save Builder from this site then it is safe to use. But, you can search for the sphere you need by matching HP or growing stats.We’ve been the home for Ps2 Save Builder for over 12 years and recently we’ve been made aware that some antivirus scanners are detecting Ps2 Save Builder as being dangerous or containing a virus. Could have to do with Ability points, not sure. Note: I did notice that once you equip a Dressphere, the FF’s change. I used values of max HP and stats from online guides. If you want to replace this Warrior sphere with a Level 99 with exactly the stats it should have:
Instead, I’ve been watching for spheres to drop in the game, save, then figure out where it is and edit it.
One of the values after this block is probably the code that tells that it's a Warrior sphere… I haven’t figured that part out yet. This is a level 1 Dressphere, with 34/34 HP, raises Str by 1 and Def by 2 as Primary… this is a Warrior sphere! The stats follow the same order as stats above. Every time the game sees it as a corrupted save file. Finding Inventory limit with a hex editor and changing the 2 bit pointer to a slightly higher value, saving it. This is followed by the Dressphere’s stats: Twelve bytes dictating the stat bonuses of equipping this as a Primary, then another twelve bytes dictating use as a Secondary. The GOG version re-reckoning save games aren't easily edited like they were in the regular version. Then, four bytes for the Current HP, four bytes for the Max HP. If you see the block in there, that’s a dressphere in your inventory.Īfter the four FF bytes, are FOUR (yes, four) bytes for the Dressphere’s level. In between address 1490, you can see repeating blocks with some changing values.
This is was a toughie, and I still don’t know how most items are laid out, but I did find how to edit Dresspheres.
But then I realized that stats in this game CAN go past 255 (FF in hexadecimal), so I started looking for 00 08 00 08 00 05… etc. Tried looking for 08 08 05 05 (for example)… no good, didn’t work. Opened up HxD, loaded the saved file, and looked for a string of numbers that matched the stats. I unequipped all dresspheres and wrote down the base stats. You may also edit the Autosave, since that saves after every floor (which is awfully nice).įirst, I played the game until the 5th floor’s opportunity to save. You'll also need to create a save file if you don't have one start a new game and proceed to the 5th floor to save. There are download links throughout the other guides - this is a quick write, so nothing fancy, just information.Īnytime that you edit the save file - even if just one byte - you MUST open the file in MemSumChecker, set it to FFX-2, and press the blue Play button to reset the proper checksums. What Im ultimately trying to do is enable both the 'Bonus Options. Some of my attempts have been successful. Experimented with changing the prices and items for sale on green mohawk 'NIGELA' character in the library.
HxD or any other free hex editor, this was the one used for the other FFX files also MemSumChecker, the same tool as with other FFX files to avoid corrupt data. Has anyone here ever tried editing the 'Game 1' save files of MCL Im using a hex editor to edit them.
