What you need?
-Skyrim Special Edition on PC
-Hekate
-Save
-Save tool https://gbatemp.net/threads/yallarenuts-save-tool-aka-switch-save-dump-hack-job-by-3096.503569/

1) Run Hekate
2) Run Homebrew Launcher and start your Save tool
3) Dump Skyrim save
4) Copy on PC
5) Edit the extension from *.sav0 to *.ess
6) Copy your save to Skyrim save folder

Dont use any mods on PC. When your will run your switch save you will get an error about "Hyrule.esm" file, just ignore that.

Fuck yeah

Fascinating. That they included the hyrule data as an ESM means that when cart dumping becomes a thing, it will not be a console exclusive. :P

It also means that they most certainly *DID* leave the loading hooks for plugins in the title. :P

*Even more eagerly anticipates a cart dumper/loader*

Remember the guy who loaded Hyrule.esm on a pc the textures didn’t work so we need to work that out also for mods

I noticed that the image format for the thumbnail in the save package you sent me was non-standard. RGB data is in the wrong order/endianness. (have not fully explored.) However, that is a minor quibble that a batch processor can fix.

I don't have Skyrim in PC or a pc who can run Skyrim. Does anyone have a Savefile for me?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
