One more. Everything else in the save moves around. If you want to edit XP, you'll have to do it manually.

PCSF00441

Code:
-- Looney Tunes Galactic Sports (AUS)
-- Credits: Slade

needs_crc32 = false

warning =  nil

cur_chts = {
    {["name"]="99,999 Coins", ["offsets"]={0xC}, ["file"]="data0001.bin", ["value"]=0x1869F, ["size"]=4}
}

I'm not finished yet !

Hi,

Congrats on getting the program out! Good luck with GekiHen :) I am having a problem though. I have Maidumps of Dragon's Crown and Ragnarok Odyssey (PCSE00119 and PCSE00019) that should be supported by the app. But when I enter the app, all the saves I have dumped with Save Manager V0.8 are listed as Unknown Game, and give me the 440 error :( Could you give me any advice on how to fix this? I can't wait to use this thing! :)

Cheers :)

I believe that version of Save Manager uses an older save folder structure.

If your saves are in this format: ux0:/data/rinCheat/PCSB00189_SAVEDATA

Then it's wrong.

You should move and rename them to this: ux0:/data/savegames/PCSB00058

It's easier to move them to a PC using the built in FTP to VitaShell, remove the _SAVEDATA and move them back to the correct (new) directory.

Therein lies the trouble though- I'm using the version of Save Manager that puts them in uxo/data/savegames/PCSE00119:( hence my confusion! Lol I can't figure out why it keeps telling me that it 'attempt to get length of a nil value local test_dir'

Same here. Tested Croixleur Sigma and some games. It just doesn't work.

Croixleur Sigma EU (PCSB00767 / FILENAME0.bin)

So I ended up manually hex editing the savefile with no troubles.

Yep. Didn't matter whether it was games that are covered, like Dragon's Crown, or not, like Celceta- everything gave the 440 string error I quoted above. I even tried moving the saves (they were initially set like uxo/data/savegames/PCSE00119/SLOT0 because of Save Manager) to just PCSE00119, but even that did nothing. I removed everything from the plugins folder, so no Gohanmem or anything to interfere. Still nada. I'm not sure how to fix lol but I'd really like to make this work :)

That string means rinCheat SE can't find the correct directory. @Rinnegatamante has pushed a fix to the Gekihen contest, however it will take a little while to show up.
In the mean time, files need to be stored as:

ux0:/data/savegames/PCXXxxxxx/SLOT0/<filename>

If you don't have a SLOT0 with the save file in it, and your base file is SLOT1 - SLOT9, then you'll get that error.

I've only backed up all my saves in the SLOT0 directory, backing up twice is for babies lol :P but still no dice. Might be a case of waiting for the fixed version at this stage I think :)

I dump lots of saves multiple times. It's the only way to work out some memory locations :)

Here's what my folder structure looks like.

I see, so SLOT# dir is needed. I was under the impression that GAMEID/SAVEFILE works. I backup manually using the old mr. Gas method because Im more comfortable with it.

... Okay, so good news and bad news. Good news, I actually got the Dragon's Crown cheat list to show up! :D Bad news, the app CONSTANTLY SHUTS DOWN, dreaded error C2-12828-1. Only got as far as applying money cheat before it died, and it only made it to the game list the first time by apparently the totally random will of the gods lol. Any idea how to make it a bit more stable?

P.S. And it made my Dragon's Crown save data corrupt :( tried to apply money and skill points

P.P.S NVM save magically fixed itself when I applied more cheats and re-imported it? Lol savegame logic but I'lll take it :P

Cheers :)

The app looks in the dir ux0:app for game title, if the game is uninstalled then “Unknown game”. Would it be better if it fetches from SE_db instead?

Also it isn't isn't working even after updating the app.
