Saves are super easy to edit. To learn how to properly CRC read my thread on TriForce Heroes. That had a lot of good information for beginners on how to do save edits.

Sorry for bumping this, but with this checksum error when hex editing saves, is it expecting much for a working save editor to be available in the coming weeks? I do understand from previous posts that more testing is needed, but is this a new situation?
Just use NTR plugin and you're fine.

You probably didn't read the thread here, did you. The DQ7 saves corrupt if you change anything, they will get deleted once you start the game. I just edited the value for money and that corrupted it already. No idea what the issue was.

ZTH is easy to edit and finding CRC as they are placed so obviously. This could be done even by my 6yrs old niece. I've done a lot saveeditors with and without CRC checks but DQ7 CRC is not that easy - or I am just too old to focus on the right values. I thought it could be a CRC32 check but then with all the 2 byte values it could be CRC16 (CRC/CCITT). But tbh, I used GW/NTR so I don't put much time into finding CRC offsets.

CRC16? That would be surprising. It could use something like Whatever MH4U used

re-read it then :P
yeah, mostly they using CRC32 but CRC16 is also possible as we know. Zelda Ocarina of Time is using CRC16 in a stupid way :P

:edit:
sorry for being off-topic :blush:

I did read the thread, it sounds like you didn't read it. The first page alluded to the CRC checksum that has to be edited but no one seems to have found it yet. http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-zelda-triforce-heroes-save-editor.400518/ Read my thread, there's a lot of back and forth with how to figure out the CRC checksum location so you can properly edit the saves.
I read all 16 pages of this thread but only see mention of the checksum or CRC32 in the OP and in talks about creating GUI or Web versions. I see no discussion on finding and then calculating a new CRC based on the changes made. I looked at the source for the EXE and the website linked for the actual code but these gave me no insight into how the addresses were found or how the calculations needing to be done were discovered. Could you point me to a page or post that goes over what you're talking about?

The posts must have been deleted from the thread. There was a few back and forth going over how to locate the CRC value but the short of it was this. Save, export, save export, save, export. Compare the 3 files. There shouldn't be too much that changed and there will always be roughly 8 bytes that actually change at a specific offset. The bytes should be the reversed CRC32 value generated based off of a starting and ending offset. Honestly that's about as much as I can remember. I just remember when I was told this I was able to find the offsets extremely fast and then worked with someone else on a tool since I don't program.

Hello again. Would it be possible for someone that can use cheat plugins to help me again? This time to max money and max casino coins/tokens. Also, if possible, to max the money i have in the bank. I have the European version, by the way. Thank you.

Hello again, is there anyone available for my above request? Thank you.
I tried the speedfly plugin just for your save. So I maxed Casino jetsons. I cannot read all options as I have the same screen problem like the posted one.
So give it a try. Maybe it work or not.

    On the series s/x you can use a external HD but any next gen games must be on your internal ssd, or you can buy a ssd expansion card, but pricey. Any xbone, 360, or og Xbox games can be played from external tho.
