    Hacking Metroid Prime 4 Beyond save editing

    A bit late, but it could be attached to one of the 'unknown' upgrades that don't show up in the inventory screen. Much like power bombs, and the ability to throw them are technically two different upgrades even if you get them at the same time.

    I have edited the first two on some of the items that aren't a max of 1, such as missiles, shot ammo, and power bombs, and that does track when what I've seen. I saw no reason to look into increasing the third value. For example here's my current save file's power bomb section. F4 B9 C7 84 00...

    For those looking to edit the files themselves, the first 4 byte 'value' after the ID is your current amount, second 4 byte value is your current max, and the third is the max value seemingly allowed by the game.

    Found an additional bit, power bombs are incomplete, the other mystery "max 8" item is power bombs as well, but having it enabled allows them to be grabbed and thrown. Does not seem to decrease when used, so setting them to max should be fine. Updating my latest item post with that info. I set...

    Hacking Metroid Prime 4 Beyond save editing

    Took some time to poke around on a new save at the start of chrono tower with no items picked up other than the bare minimum you start out with. Due to this i was unable to see if some items I had added were on the "keys/mech parts" screen, as that wasn't unlocked. Some items were unlocked from...

    The CRC, are you fixing its order to be proper for the save? Based on your screenshot in the save it should be 648DF362 (bytes get flipped around because that's the way the switch handles nonsense)

    The last byte needs to remain the same when replacing. in your case "01", that is the 'category' of the scan, which is the Sylux group.

    Why I recommended to copy the entire 'scan' section to a separate editor, vastly narrows the scope and nothing else should interfere with it. Definitely wouldn't be advisable to do it within the save file itself.

    You did not fix your CRC at the very beginning of the file. Any time you make a single change in the save file, you have to fix the checksum because it changes. Its right in the original post, bolded "Fix Checksum"

    You're not going to simply be able to replace all the scan entries in hxd, there are too many other things that aren't scans that would be affected, which is why I said to copy the scan section out to another text editor. As I had said above you can copy from the AF 05 00 00, all the way down...

    Do a search, switch to the hex tab and search for You should see some results in the bottom. There are only two that will do what you want, For me, it was the third from the top (This is the manual save scans). Yours may be different, but its the first result with "00 00 00 00 0A" after AF...

    Basically... I grabbed the *entire* scan section of the save which I arbitrarily started at AF 05 00 00 like described in the OP, until a random 8A byte at the very end where it stops following the normal pattern. in HxD the length shows 2D81 You can take that bit of hex and paste it into any...

    Spent a little bit of time poking around in the save, adding items and whatnot. Instructions on what to look for, and what to change are in the OP. Any "Item IDs" with ??? I did not see any noticable change in the equipment screen. I did this on a in-progress save, so I did not check items that...
