After dumping my 360 save, I've been playing around with the Switch save files to see if there's a way to copy over my progress. The save file naming seems to be exactly the same and as far as I can tell, the save files are the exact same size (135,168 bytes). I should note that I've been testing this out using the latest stable of Yuzu on Windows 11.
The main saves will be formatted like so:
RDR2SAVE1.SAV
RDR2SAVE2.SAV
RDR2SAVE3.SAV
(as far as I can tell, RDR2SAVE0 is the Auto save slot)
I didn't bother copying over RDR2OPTIONS.SAV since I assume this new version would have options not available in the original 360 release, so I left it as-is in the Switch files.
Simply copying over the RDR2SAVEX.SAV from 360->Switch doesn't work, the saves will just show as "Damaged" in-game.
One file the Switch version has that I'm not seeing in the 360 files is PREBOOT.SAV. Not sure what this does, or if it's a Yuzu-specific file. (I don't think it is, though)
I tried opening both the 360 save and the Switch save in a hex editor (HxD), but unfortunately my hexpertise(!) isn't up to snuff. So all I can offer is some very novice observations...
Anyone else tried this? Any thoughts?

- While they look comparably completely different starting at offset 00000000, peaking all the way to the bottom they seem identical, so there is some kind of compatibility/similarity between their values. The two files I looked at end at different offsets, but I'm assuming that's just because my 360 save is obviously much more complete.
