Is it possible to make the tool compatible with a Gateway save .sav ?

Or else, I can open this .sav with an hexa editor. But do you know which offsets need to be modified ? I tried to modify the offsets usin @Brion 's post, but my save is corrupted after making the changes.

Whatever game is active in GW mode should be detected as a normal game inserted in the slot. You should be able to dump the save the same as any other cartridge and also be able to inject a new save.

With the mode,Normally you need to beat game for hard or..? Fusion mode is the most hardest mode?

I created a save for metroid. not having unlocked anything so far. immediatly exported with JKSV
Tried the tool. Opened the file.
Got this error:
Invalid pkprfl.bmssv
Any idea on what is the matter?

Fusion mode is the hardest mode and it includes the fusion suit.

Could you send me your save?

This is really a cool app, but wouldn't it be better to create it for the 3ds? Not everyone has a Windows PC, but everyone has a 3ds. :P

I can't seem to do anything with JKSM on Samus Returns, it just says error opening archive? I don't know what's wrong, I uninstalled and reinstalled it but there's no change. Any help?

Open JKSM -> SD/CIA -> Metroid: Samus Returns -> Save Data Options -> Export Save -> New -> type any name

If it doesn't work then try grabbing latest version of JKSM

Hi, I note a couple of people posting problems with editing their own pkprfl.bmssv files. I thought I'd throw what I've learned about the save files over here too, I'm unsure how much you've already figured for yourself.

At the very least, you cannot assume fixed offsets for any of the values you edit (well, it's probably ok for difficulty). Luckily pkprfl.bmssv is the smallest of the three save files and appears to grow in the same fashion for the majority of players so this hasn't really been a large problem.

I've documented the generic save format that actually applies to all three save files. Which includes information to correctly inject new chunks of data early.

And I've written a JavaScript parser (read-only) to explore the save files (and check validity) in a slightly more human readable fashion.

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
