Game Genie: Resign Tutorial

[GameGenieBob]

Resigning save files is a relatively simple process.
Though sometimes it can be a pain, and you may need to repeat these steps.

Step One

First of all you are going to need "save your profile" so that GG has a record of any save files linked to your PSN Account.

As you see in the image, on the right side of GG it shows "Profiles".
I have my saves set to a profile called "MY PS3".
There are a few saves there with no profile assigned to them, these are from another PS3.

Step Two

Once you upload one of your own saves to GG, right click on it and select Extract Profile.

You will get the following box open up.
Image Three - http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y224/l ... esign3.png
If you have no profiles already set you'll be given one called "Profile 1". Right click it and select "Rename".
Name it something to do with your PS3 Account. Either "My PS3" or maybe your PSN Username.
Once you have chosen your name, tick the box next to it and select Apply.
That will apply that profile to any save from that PSN Username.

Step Three

If you have put somebody else's save onto your GG it will not be assigned a profile.
Follow 'Step Two' to assign a profile name to it. As you will see here I have assigned somebody else's save the name "FRIENDS PS3"
Image Four - http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y224/l ... esign4.png

Now on the right side of GG you can see it shows which Save Files belong to MY PS3 and which ones belong to my FRIENDS PS3.

Now once you have your profiles assigned, you will want to Right Click the save file you wish to Resign.
Select "Re-sign..."
And then select the Profile you want to Resign it to.

After selecting "MY PS3" or whatever you assigned YOUR profile to be, apply the Resign.

That should do the trick. You should now be able to load the save on your PS3.

Note: Sometimes you may get an error message that the profile isn't yours and that you cannot load another users save file.
In that case you may need to retry these methods again.
It could take a few times to work.

If you still get issues with it, post in the support section.

[NateMiller]

bob sent you a message check it out for me.

[unoloki]

what dose it mean if i try to load game save that i got from this forum and its corrupt ? is the game save bad or did i reasign it wrong?

[GameGenieBob]

Re-signing the save file to your username shouldn't corrupt it.
I would assume the save file is corrupt beforehand.

I have tried this method with both the name i have for user and PSN for castlevania lords of shadow, it copies ok but when im in game it still says is from another user

[KrOnXx]

I am having the same problem. Followed steps and still no luck. File still shows other users name. Thanks ( Batman Arkham City GOTY ).

Thanks for the very useful tutorial, dude.

Can I still do this if I have a euro ps3 and want to use us game saves?

Im a bit confused here.

[GMAN_v.01]

What is this process for? I mean, when is it needed?

[GameGenieBob]

If you download someone else's save their Playstation Network account will be assigned to that save.

Say I provide for you a save. You upload it to your PS3, you wont be able to play it because PS3 will recognise it as belonging to another user.

Resigning basically takes off the original playstation network username and you can replace it with your own. So then you are able to load my save on with your PSN account.

I have been trying to do this all evening. I Feel as if I am following the instructions correctly, but every time I load the game (Metal Gear 3 HD) it says that the file was created by another player and disable trophies. Do you have a video of how to do this by chance??? Personally speaking, I find it easier to learn by watching someone else doing it. Thanks for all you do sir!

[GameGenieBob]

I'll see what I can do

[heat5360]

I too have followed the steps given.i have done them seven times with the same file to no avail.other programs can do this in one attempt,consider that the program is missing a part of the process.i would be greatfull for atleast looking at this internally.untill this is fixed I will use other means,but I would prefer to use only gamegenie for all my needs. I don't want to pay another guy just for one thing when it need not be neccasary.still a big fan of gamegenie.thank you much.

[GenieLamp]

Can you tell us which game(s) you have this issue? Also, is your PS3 profile linked to a PSN account at all?

[heat5360]

this time im tying to resign borderlands 2,yes my psn account is heat5360.i have tried this in the past with multiple games and it has never worked for me.im very happy with my gg, but I don't like having to do this one thing on another program. help would be appreciated. thank you..

[heat5360]

at this moment it is not recocnizing profiles correctly.i have only two profiles in gg and it see's three,and some are showing the wrong name.if I could do a screenshot I would . thank you for looking into this.

[TheGamingBuddhist]

so how does this work when resigning another region save to a US one?
does this work at all or is it strictly between the same region?

[GameGenieBob]

You can only use saves for your region.

Though in some cases you can do what we call the "rename trick"
Information on that can be found in my Guide here

[heat5360]

is ther some reason that it would not read my profiles,or resign correctly for me.gg reads three profiles when there is only two.and has yet to resign correctly for me. I followed the tut.thank you

[XXGMLO2XX]

thanks

[Johnassassin123]

i got someone back up data and i put it in gg back up folder in my documents... when i back up that data the ps3 reconizes that safe.... so do these steps work for that or is there other steps for that?

[Berserker Lonewolf]

My game is the correct region and I have followed the steps originally specified. When I upload it back to the PS3 to play the game I applied the cheats for, it still reads my save as if it is from another user. When I started using this device after I bought it, I never had this issue. Now this happens with every new game I try it on anymore. Why is it not recognizing my very own PS3 saves that I re-upload back to the system after I apply the cheats? Is there another way around this?
