No, just a normal checksum, not an encryption key pair.

With Waninkoko Savegame-Extractor/Installer you don’t need to worry about checksum/encryption keys.
So you can edit things like money, etc.

sorry about that guys guess i miust have done it wrong the first time round it worked without me siging anything with the freethewads tool

buti only edited the banner.bin file, soon as i edit the BH4_DATA and install it again i get a corupted save

can anyone help me id really like to be able to edit saves properly =]

oh and also i tried comparing 2 different saves i made so i could find where the data is located, the only difference would have been the time and the amount of saves but i ge LOADS of differneces when i compare them, are they like encrypted or compressed or something?

thanks anyway sorry about the previous post

but it did work still and i changed the title it comes up with =]

hey guys jsut a quick update =]

on my resi4 hacking ive saved 3 times with he same save count on all of them and different times on each, and in one of them ive made sure i have less bullets (my aim as to find where the current equiped weapons bullets were stored in the save and test the possibilities)

i compared them in kdiff and the only recuring changed value showed up was a set of 2 bytes (which im hoping means the minutes and the seconds of the save data)

i didnt get chance to edit them and test the results cause i went out n got pissed and dumped my my girlfriend (tears for me) but ill have a look in the mornin

ill keep u posted n if i get it all done so its working properly ill post the offsets of where the editable data is so u can give it a go urselves=]

I've hex edited my Harvest Moon Magical Melodies save (I want more money). When I try to copy it via the SD card it says it is corrupt (bad checksum). I installed it using the save installer which got my hopes up, but it looks like the wii checks the checksum when loading the save as well because it tells me it's corrupt and won't let me launch it. I'm going to look at the code for the TP checksum recalculator and see if it can be modified for other saves, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Just FYI.

i wasnt aware there was a checksum recalculator for tp any chance you could link me?=]

i extracted all my saves using the extracter tool and installed them using the installer and the only time it has said corrupted data is when i try to load the save file in the actual game (it loads the system settings fine) but i have still yet to edt the values i talked about in my previous post.

i hope we can get a decend tutorial soon once this has become more user friendly =]

It's been a while and I'm now doing the same thing (compare method).

So is there a way to fix the checksum easily?
