I've been trying to convert my JAP's savegame to USA but I couldn't do it. The savegame includes the following files:
banner.bin - the banner
FLF.bin - the savegame
GF_X_XX.jpg - there are 30 non standard jpg images that I suppose they are the screenshots that you can take from the game
I've opened with a hex editor both JAP and USA new FLF.bin's files and that's what I've found:
USA
46 4C 55 53 | 00 00 00 15 | FD E0 73 B9
FLUS "bla bla" (I can't copy the whole code because it breaks the post)
JAP
46 4C 4A 50 | 00 00 00 15 | 5E F7 5B BC
FLJP "bla bla"
The rest of the FLF.bin's files are exactly the same.
The rest of the files (banner.bin and the GF_X_XX.jpg images) start with FLUS or FLJP too.
I've also opened my JAP savegame (last world) and that's what I've found:
46 4C 4A 50 | 00 00 00 15 | 7A 9E 2D 28
FLJP "bla bla"
So, from the offset '8' to 'B' the data is different than the brand new JAP savegame and the brand new USA savegame.

What I've done so far:
I've changed all the FLJP to FLUS (banner.bin, FLF.bin and the images) but it didn't work. The USA game says it's a non valid savegame. I think that the data from the offset '8' to 'B' is important but I don't know it's meaning.
