Just wanted to make a little PSA for anyone who, like me, wanted to migrate their PS5 save to the PC version for Frontiers of Pandora.
Tested with PPSA01575 but should work with other versions.
1. Boot into whatever payloads you use on the PS5 and load garlic save manager.
2. Go to the save manager on port 8082 and download your decrypted Avatar:FOP save.
3. Take the decrypted save and copy "local_user" and "local_user_temp" from "sdimg_SAVEDATA00" into where your PC save is located.
4. Copy the file names from your original PC save (make one if you haven't already). This is your Ubisoft ID.
5.Delete the PC save files and rename the PS5 files with the copied file name sand the .save extension. So make sure to keep "_temp" in the temp file.
6.Open both of the new files in a hex editor and add the hex string "24000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" to the beginning of each file.
7.Save
8.Enjoy your save on PC
If you don't edit the files, you'll get a "service unavailable" error and the game will be unplayable until you delete the saves.
I believe this beginning string of numbers is some kind of ID, maybe for your account. However, the above should work as a placeholder, that then allows the PC version of the game to write the data in that space itself once you load the save from your account, rather than it corrupting the first part of the PS5 save data.
Also this probably won't work if your PS5 save is on a later version than the PC version, the game should warn you about this if it is.
I've only tested this myself so your luck may vary, but I hope this helps anyone interested in PS5 to PC save conversion for this game.
