Only seems to support DeSmumE saves, neither flashcard nor real cartridge saves (save is like never played - level 1, no items, money or djinns), you really should include .sav support.

I've been waiting for this. Does this support all regions?

Battery saves usually have some sort of checksum algorithm to prevent corruption or inaccurate data. These checksums are usually difficult to figure out.
Also, some games' save files can use a form of encryption to prevent editing. Editing states is about 100% easier.

You can edit battery saves with this editor following the steps below:

1. Load the battery save into DeSmuME.
2. Create a Save State.
3. Edit the Save State with my editor.
4. Reload the Save State into DeSmuME.
5. Save the game using in-game methods.

You have now successfully edited the save file.

@Berthenk
Some games retain memory layout between regions so it may be possible. I used the USA version of the game. Game ID: B05E.
I can test the EUR version later. Game ID:B05P. What region are you looking for?

 

[Berthenk]

Mostly the European region, as I don't play the Japanese one. Thanks for finding out for me.

EUR region values are offset by 0xC0 bytes. Easy enough to implement a fix.

Posted an update. It should work with both EUR and USA regions as well as support DeSmuME version 0.9.7 (released yesterday) states.

I did some quick and dirty testing to make sure everything loaded correctly. Please, if you find any bugs, post them here so they can get fixed.

im not sure if is possible to fix but
any changes to psynergy will not last if the djinn are set/summoned (no matter if the box is checked by class specific or not)
which is a problem since once you go to a character in the editor all of the djinn on that character are unset
just wanted to point that out

i guess that means that checking class specific/not doesnt do anything

This issue has been fixed in the most recent version. You can find it by following the Project: Isaac link in my signature.
All further updates will be handled in that thread. Thanks.
