ROM Hack Save editing: Bravely Default

[Oishikatta]

I've identified the offset for JP for the freelancer job (had to start a new save file after conversion, so only had that one). 0000C032.

The value is 2x the JP you have in that job, so 4=2; 8=4; C=6. Successfully edited to 62 (98, 49) and Freelancer changed to Lv. 2 19/70; then edited to 1027 (10000. 5000) and Freelancer changed to Lv. 9 2500/3500; then to 90E2 for Mastered!

To max a normal job, set JP to 80BB. To max Freelancer, set JP to 90E2.

Anyone else interested in this game care to share anything?


Also, thanks whoever made ftpony -- if not for that my SD card cover would probably be broken for too much use.

EXP seems to be stored in multiple locations...

1524-1526 and BFFA-BFFC

After setting both to 98967F Tiz is lv. 99

Even though he's lv. 99 HP is only 7734.

EXP for Agnes looked like it was at 155A-155C but didn't change when edited, may also be stored in a second location or something.

Does the save of this game use checksums?

No, it's really nice; just search, edit, save.

That's... I don't know how I feel about that.
My question is, aren't saves encrypted?

yeah, you use save data filer to decrypt them then edit and import the edited file back

Off topic, I'm just wondering if there is any JRPG game which I can edit save (means we don't need to do checksum)? except BD and Fantasy Life.

try them....just dump the save make a backup copy edit something and load it back up....if it doesn't work just restore your original dump

Waaaaaait just a sec there. There is a method to decrypt and encrypt saves? Doesn't that mean you can change a rom's header and keep the save?

If you install the game as a CIA, it doesn't contain a header (from what I was told)
So you may be able to import any save (card 2 games only maybe)

What tools are you guys using to edit save files? I can't find it anywhere.

Savefiler and any Hex Editor I suppose

gvim for 3-way diff and HxD for editing

SaveFiler won't install for me :c

Download the SaveDataFiter csu-cia conversion.zip and the SaveDataFiler.csu (mine shows modified 9/23/2013). Use the stuff in the .zip to convert .csu to .cia, then install with devmenu.

To the CIA's in the SDK Devkit not work?

No, they need to be repacked without the DEVkeys.

It's not about Card 1 or 2 it's about where (and how?) it saves. Fantasy life is a card 1 for example, but saves to the SD so savedatafiler can edit it. Other card 1 games show up as broken I think because of Gateways current save technique which makes them incompatible. Card 2 games which save internally do all work so far though. (Animal crossing should work if you know where to edit. I have been unsuccessful so far trying to give myself bells)

will this work with the R4 save thingy

This took a stupid amount of time and I lost interest, if that's not enough PG for you, do it again when you run out or figure out the next step yourself. Sorry for rambling descriptions, I honestly don't think I can explain it any better, pretty much just trial and error.

Money: Recommended 0x0000BEEA-BEED 00FFFF4F=4,194,300pg out of 9,999,999 max
Ex: Want/have 262,481 pg, anything not divisible by 4 or over 65536(10000h after division) gets separated.
0x0000BEEA 40 (1x40h=40h)
0x0000BEEB-C 5400 (84 after 262480/4=65620-65536=84=0054h=5400h)
0x0000BEED 41 (Not sure what the 40h is but the 1 is each 10000h of amount, so 41h=10000h, 42h=20000h, etc. I guess 50h=100000h is the next logical step after 4Fh=F0000h, but I'm not sure)

Items:
0x0000B6F0 area, no idea what's going on around here, just know its the items, and goes a little like this:
Potion?(B6FA) have 11=D342, have 12=1343, have 13=5343, ..., have 64=1350


Villagers:
COLONY0.sav
0x00000004 Up to 80h=128
0x00000005 10h=128, 20h=256, 30h=384, etc.
Thus 6770h=999 Villagers, though I have 8060h=896 so I'm just guessing, 896 was more than enough for me.

wait, can saves be reimported into retail games? I guess not, but...
