How to \ Q and A

Postby Skiller » Mon Sep 17, 2012 8:33 pm

Thought i might bring this in to the Light over on here .. i started it a wile back on the CMP.. if GG has any isses with the Q And A that are asked feel free to take them ones out i did reword some depending on how they were worded on the CMP....
THis might do better in another section but this is what i thought for now :P
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How do i Access Advanced mode?
A: Right clicking on the game save (of yours in GG) and picking Advanced mode
this will bring up a new screen
Note: If you want to get more advanced and use an external Hex device u can go to C:\Users\(USERID)\AppData\Local\Temp\PS3SE and u will see the Decrypted files that you have decrypted .. Do note u can use this section to find codes but u will have to add them using the GG/SE advanced or quick mode Add codes....

(Second note in advanced mode there are some hidden functions like CTRL+G this is address jumper there seems to be a bug sometimes were the hex value does not go in right when using CTRL+V or right click past sometimes it takes it as a DEC if there is no letters .. this same issue happens in the Search box on the bottom ......)

(note for Text field Advanced mode *First game Dragons Dogma* the seach function is set to use Text for this type)
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Q: Can i add my own games?
A: No. do to the way the Ps3 saves are it takes a lot of behind the scene work to get some game saves working fully .. Who knows if they will add 0 Code games but it’s a possibility.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Q: How do i add codes
A: In Quick mode if u right click on the cheat list a menu comes up to Add your own codes..
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Q: How do i get my Profile so i can resign saves to my Profile..
A: right click on one of your Saves and go to Extract profile.. (it seems 4 profiles at a time is max)
(Note: Sometimes there is a bug when Extracting the Profile this has to do with the amount of users u have had on the ps3 if u have the normal 1-16 users then it be fine once u start deleting them is when this starts getting buggy .. might need to extract more than 1 profile u can tell this by doing a group download and downloading all your saves and extracting the profile of one and see if all take the same profile name. I don’t know if this issue is also made when doing data transfers)

ADD IN BIG NOTE: Its always best when making a Profile ID to make a Brand new save from your ps3 on the same day your making the ID this is just to Fix issues of maybe data being changed or something elts .. there has been issues were the profile does not match .. normaly this happens when the saves are older .. (maybe do to version)
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Q: Do they have to have the game in the list for me to Resign a download save from another ps3..
A: No you can use the GG to resign anyone’s save to your own system and vice versa
(get a save from the system u want to move the save to Extract profile using GG .. grab whatever save and then right click on it in GG and click resign)
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Q: Can I use US/Canada codes with saves of other regions?
A: in most cases yes, there will always be the case that u can’t it all depends on the file if the files are the same in the save you have a chance that it can be done ..
It might end up that the part used to decrypt the save is different (FF13-2) but in most cases this should not happen. all you need to do is find the NTSC counterpart and change the Main folders name of the PAL/JPN version to so example u have BLUS12345 for a game on the NTSC region u have the same game but yours is PAL and its BLES12394 so u take the folder and change it to BLUS12345 (use advanced mode first to try and open it, its always better to check before u try to mod) if it works your good
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Q: Will Cheat device codes or eboot hack codes work for my save?
A: No the codes are meant for their relevant devices. Those devices are a different way of adding codes in that they add them live into the games code in real-time. Save editing is the modification of data at a fixed point in time (1-time mod). Once that point changes, things will change in save, for example if you give yourself 999 money and you gain 1, you will then have 1000 money or if you have 99 lives and die, you will lose a life and have 98.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Q: What Format Does Advanced Mode Use
A: Advanced Mode is just a Hex reader just like HxD or Hexworkshop it will open any save thats set to open
(note: there is also a setting to make the Advanced in text as well)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Address 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F |Data (Ascii)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So for example ..

Max Money 9999
20000000 0000270F

So in advanced this would be

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Address 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F |Data (Ascii)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00000000 00 00 27 0F
--------------------

Some games will use a reversed format
Max Money 9999
20000000 0F270000

Do Note: im using Normal and Reversed only for simpler words:P

Code Types

0TXXXXXX 000000YY = 8Bit Write
1TXXXXXX 0000YYYY = 16Bit Write
2TXXXXXX YYYYYYYY = 32Bit Write

X= Address/Offset
Y= Value to write
T=Address/Offset type (0 = Normal / 8 = Offset From Pointer

Multi Write
4TXXXXXX YYYYYYYY
4NNNWWWW VVVVVVVV

X= Address/Offset
Y= Value to write (Starting)
N=Times to Write
W=Increase Address By
V=Increase Value By
T=Address/Offset type
Normal/Pointer
0 / 8 = 8bit
1 / 9 = 16bit
2 / A = 32bit

Search Type
8ZZZXXXX YYYYYYYY

Z= Amount of times to find before Write
X= Amount of data to Match
Y= Seach For (note can be xtended for more just continue it like YYYYYYYY YYYYYYYY under it)
Once u have your Seach type done then place one of the standerd code types under it with setting T to the Pointer type

well the code type used to be like this. though that doesn't mean that GG uses the same code type in its save format edits.

pulled from CMP website

Special Code Types
Mega Code

6T?????0 YYYY
AAAAAAAA CCCC
FFFFFFFF 0011
22334455 6677

?=Don't care
AA= Break address

CC= Coprocessor break type (upper half)
FF= Breakpoint mask (usually FFFFFFFF)
00= bytes of code in address order

@Skiller

Please include this search info to Q/A.

to search Hex data in GG,put 0x in front of the hex value e.g:
0xF
0xFF
0xFFFF
0xFFFFFFFF

searching a dec is up to 65535(FFFF) only.
Thanks "You" for sharing this.
I never knew there is a function like this lol

wtb jargon free guide lol my game save is messed up and I can't recover it so I'm wondering if someone can give out an easier guide to follow to fix it via advanced mode, i posted here viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2348&p=15179#p15179 My problem is huge as I can no longer level up even with the quick level quick code, it seems somewhere in my hex its blocked from leveling up and I need expert to explain to me a fix please.

I also don't have a hex converter can someone please help me?


edit- never mind someone helped me with hex here http://www.statman.info/conversions/hexadecimal.html

as for leveling up guess I messed up I didn't bother I just used lvl 80 max stats all characters here game isn't worth slow leveling now.
