Hacking Nintendon't Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Gamesaves

[ChromeCrafterWilliam]

On this thread, everyone+myself can add Sonic Adventure 2 Battle .raw gamesaves. I don't have a computer, so please don't ask for something related to a computer.

All the requirements are:
#1) It has to be a .raw memcard save, so if someone new came to use it, the just have to follow instructions
#2) IT MUST NOT HAVE any other gamesaves beside Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. It can have a sa2b Chao garden in it, but it can't have anything else.
#3) Try to not copy someone else's save, UNLESS you are to use it with nintendont or dolphin

I made this thread so if you only want sa2b save data, you can just download that. It's for everyone's enjoyment.

I mainly started the thread because I was looking for gamesaves that only had sa2b on it, and couldn't find it anywhere, at all. I might make another thread for different games

If you have ABSOLUTELY no idea what I'm talking about, here's a link showing what nintendont is if you don't know:

Maybe you can explain why you would request this? You want Nintendon't compatible memory card saves with only SA2B and Optional Chao garden save data, why? For sharing purposes? Experiments? Or are you just asking to find a complete save data to bite off?

 

[ChromeCrafterWilliam]

So, to start off here is a gamesave i got off the internet that has:
All 180 Emblems
Over 700,000 rings
All A Ranks on stages
And I added a chaos chao with it

Oh, and if you need a blankcard.raw to put .gci saves on, I'll add that as well

Here's the link to the gamesave:

And here's the link to the blank memory card:

Also, I don't have a computer. I only have a Fire HD 8, so I can't make saves myself, but the main point is so other people can enjoy if they also don't have one.

Perhaps you should consider getting one. You can get a decent used ThinkPad (Ivy Bridge or higher CPU) for $100-$300.

The thing is I'm actually 13, I don't have any money. If I had money, I would have done it by now

You're probably going to thinkn"Why the F**k is there a 13 year old on here! "
I'm probably the best person with tech in the whole house. I can root a Fire 7 in five minutes without as computer.
Add on top of that, I'm pretty much able to homebrew and play backups on a used wii from goodwill, In probably 10-15 Minutes with no help from parents or anybody.

Okay.

You're probably going to thinkn"Why the F**k is there a 13 year old on here! "

No, there plenty of 13 year olds here already. (No is not sarcasm or a joke, is truth) So is nothing to do with that. Just wasn't sure what the purpose was. You explained the thread was for sharing nintendon't compatible SA2B save data but never said why. Is the equal of asking to borrow someone expensive item but not say the reason. Someone may not bother wanting to do so without a valid reason. That is why I asked why. If you need help, that what the purpose of a forum is for.

Ask a question, explain your reason and wait for someone to assist if they can. If no one replies, don't take it as no one wants to help, maybe they don't know how to help, or didn't see it. Is basic forum manners.

(okay I didn't know I wasn't alone) I just saw another forum, here's the link to it:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont-savegames-upload-sharing.370846/page-2
People in that link were posting gamesaves, so I thought, "well I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in liking to raise chao", so I'd think there would be people who just want the save so not to worry about collecting emblems or rings but to raise chao

I mean you are using nintendon't, is there not cheat codes that can unlock stuff you want? Did you look into how to add codes to your game? There should be plenty of codes to use.

Yeah, I can already do that, but I thought, you know, wouldn't you want to see other Chao other people made. It's the principle of that point.

Then just maybe ask for screenshots?

That isn't the point. Like, for sa.... wait how did you take a screenshot of the wii

Like I was saying, let's say you want to care for someone else's chao, or even want to bring them to your garden via memory cards. (why do I feel she's messing with me)

Also, can you screen record with what you used to take that screenshot
EDITED: never mind I saw dolphin

Wait, why are you here if you use dolphin???

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I used dolphin emulator to take the screenshot. I had this save data since 2006 on my gamecube memory card when I actively played it. I dumped the memory card save data using wii homebrew and converted it to work on the emulator. I been trying to convert the save data to work on the PC port, so i don't have to start the whole game over but I can't play the game on my pc for some reason. Dunno if nintendon't can do that, maybe ask the dev or someone who knows.

It cant be named ninmem.raw inside of dolphin

You can have mine if you want, and I'm not a woman.
I wasn't messing with you, this is why I asked for details regarding your initial post. If you was clear why you requesting save data, it be easier to understand.

I only wanted savedata to see other people's chao. Using only those saves makes it easier

I can't use this on nintendont. I know what the problem is. The mm.raw is x2 too big. It should only be 8mb

The size of the memory card is variant, and depends on the actual memory card is created with. Nintendont can use any memory card size possible I think, but games have some compatibility issues with too large size.

The GameCube features two memory card ports for saving game data. Nintendo released three official memory card options: Memory Card 59 in gray (512 KiB), Memory Card 251 in black (2 MiB), and Memory Card 1019 in white (8 MiB). (Though often advertised in Megabits, as 4 Mb, 16 Mb, and 64 Mb respectively.) A few games were known to have compatibility issues with the Memory Card 1019, and at least two games have save issues with any size.Memory cards with larger capacities were released by third-party manufacturers.

The Memory Card numbers indicated the number of save blocks available on the card, and each number is 5 subtracted from some power of 2. This suggests that 5 save blocks are devoted to some sort of system information. Simple math can be used to find out that each save block is a 8 KiB page of data. (For example, (59+5)*x = 512 KiB, x = (512 KiB)/64, x = 8 KiB)

No, it says on the actual homebrew application that sizes 16MB and larger can corrupt and possibly destroy save data. I wouldn't recommend it, Sonic Angel Knight

Wait.... I don't even think a Lenovo ThinkPad can even use sdcards

 

[GreyWolf]

You can get a USB SD card adapter from Best Buy or Walmart for about $8. That's what I use.
