Hello, thank you for the PS3 to PC save convert guide. But I don't understand how to "Tool-Hex-Change". I open Tool tab but don't see how to swap byte to Signed Int. Can you post a picture of it or clarify please? Thank you again.

I got it working now, thanks for the reply! Was able to convert my NG+ PS3 save to Steam.

Never mind, I managed to do it. Thanks.

Can anyone make a visual guide of how to convert the save for those of us who aren't as Hex savvy. I got pretty lost there as soon as it reached the part where you need the replace the Hex numbers.

Also, for the Keroro costume dlc, by "forcing re-equipment", do you simply mean de-equipping it? (because it would still be listed in your inventory).

Did anyone find a way to bypass the Keroro DLC preventing the save to be loaded? I've successfully converted my PS3 save, and I loaded it using the save editor made by turtle-insect. But I get an error about a missing DLC while loading this save in the Steam version.

Thank you.

I do not understand this step :

"in 0x3C00 , add 0x00 byte * 16 (000000000000000000000000000000000000) , must be added not replace
4 replace 0x3F40 with 0xA3F3F all bytes with 0x00"

How to add 0x00 byte * 16 with 010 Editor?

If anyone has had this work for them (even with the Kero DLC) how did you do it?

All my attempts have failed, not even sure if I'm converting them properly.

I wrote a python tool that can convert the Tales of Vesperia save between PS3 and PC.
It also patches out the obtained state of the DLC, so even the PS3 save contains incompatible DLC it should still work.

Thank you!!
It worked for me, even the costumes from the "Vesperia Costume Restoration" worked.
I'm very happy to continue my almost 100% save on PC after so long!
One save I made on NG+ with Yuri in jail at the start didn't work but not an issue.
I tried to place it into the 2nd save slot.

If anyone on Windows wants to try this, in the terminal with the exe, I typed "save_converter.exe tales-of-vesperia --convert-format=ps3-to-pc -i <path-to-ps3-save> -o <path-to-store-pc-save>"

Don't forget to add the save file to the end of the paths, I only added the paths to it at first and only got errors.
