Hey all, I would like to be able to remove a friend code from my save file, and was hoping someone would know how, this friend code I got was from using Wiimmfi, Is there any way to remove a friend code from a save file? If so how? thank you

Technically yes but each title has 100% freedom on what and how to include in a save, so the answer would differ for each game and most of them are undocumented...

Replying to a days old thread that will likely go nowhere fast but hey.

As above you might well be launching right into the deep end for this one, finding the location (though that might be as easy as making a new save, backing that up and changing as little as possible do something that gains a friend code to compare with) and possibly dealing with hashing (I don't think the Wii was console wide so you then get to if not figure it out then disable the check so next time round the game sorts it and you can return to stock, or I guess continuing on with the no save hash version).

If it is more I don't want this person on a list then how many are on there? Might be able to play/add/whatever however many games it takes for them to fall off the list. You might be able to push this with an anti ban cheat as well -- most of those will probably alter the apparent mac (the only identifying thing within the console really) so get one of those and cycle it round a few dozen times to hit that limit quicker still (do note though that the wiimfi replacement has some measures to try to prevent this in some people.

Alternative another. You might be able to recreate your existing save on a new save file -- unlocks, inventory contents, play time, records... whatever is likely in memory at some point you can get to and copies that to and from the save each boot which places it in the range of simple cheats.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
