ROM Hack Question Any way to port FFXII saves from pc to switch?

[LanzoThunder]

Is there any way to port those saves as it was done for FFX X-II?

They share the same file name (FFXII_000, FFXII_001 and FFXII_002) but if I try to import them with Checkpoint as they are, the game says that saves are corrupted

I also tried to compare the saves from pc and the ones from the switch and edited the first bytes with HxD (I'm a noob in this field lol) but nothing, always "corrupted saves".

Anyone more expert could have a look?

Not sure if the save is the same as the western version. I know when i was transfering saves for ffx the asia would not load my pc saves

Just dump your FF7 saves with Edizon, move it to the pc, rename the extension to .mcd, and edit with Black Chocobo. Then rename back to the original name and restore it with Edizon. Works great.

Yeah I really wanted to use my PC save file.

Is that going to work with FFXII savefiles? x)

I would imagine so but I personally have not tried it. Just use Memorioa for editing the save file.

I just checked and the saves on the Switch and the PC have the same size, only when I tried using my Switch saves on the PC, the game just detects it as corrupt.

Perhaps this is just a matter of swapping some bytes around so the game would detect the savefile as not corrupt.

Or it could actually be structured differently and it just happens that the file size is the same.

You can actually transfer your Switch save to the PC using the Export function of the Save editor. But it's all messed up, like you having zero license points and not being able to open your equip menu, inventory, etc.
