Hacking SSSB JAP and SSSB US Save games?

[arthurkok2]

Is there any word on getting the Jap version save game to work on the US version?! I unlocked all the characters and it sucks (well not really, the game's fun) to have to play it again.?

Thx!

more than likely not, lol shoulda waited OR you can get the save of the net and copy it to the wii via sd card?

This might be quite easy to do. But I'd need to see a clean US and JAP save. The ones that are created before anything is unlocked or any matches are even played. From there a compare would be quite simple, and should highlight what part of the saves are different based purely on region. I'd go create the saves but i'm not sure how many people this would actually prove useful for.

I for one never played anything but VS with the jap version.

Uhh.. Last time I checked, you can't transfer Brawl's game saves, much less modifying them. Besides, I got the game at Sunday 12AM and unlocked all the characters already.

Oh really? Well its a moot point than lol

Subspace Emissary was the way I unlocked all the characters. Played on Hard, the boss was a beast. Tried to back up on an SD card, and the data for Brawl specifically cannot be copied.

So there is no way to use the JAP save for US brawl? No way to copy it im assuming.

You can try to translate SSBB JAP with US's files if you want to keep your save.

 

[patz]

Translate? how?

Just a related question - Does anything think it would be possible to use a US save on UK copy of SSBB? (when it comes out)

 

[DarkCamui]

Some people are just dumb lol. The save files are regionbased so for example SSBB JAP, SSBB USA and SSBB PAL which will be out in Australia and Europe so no.

geez people.. every game has a gamecode, and a region code. Therefore it will -NOT- read the JAP savegame in the US game. You cannot copy the savegame, therefore not edit it. Then why are you all still askin the same thing over n over

Like Deofusion, why would it work if jap -> ntsc doesn't work? is australia special?

(by the way all australian games are PAL, i.e. the same as UK copies)

I didn't know that the save files themselves were region coded. I figured that the reason why JAP saves wouldn't be compatible was due to being from a different language game. So I though that US saves might work with an Australian copy as they are both English. I'm guessing in theory, it would be possible to convert the save to PAL (Australia/UK)?

is australia special?

Yes, indeed.

I already know this.

 

[manias]

no, it is not possible to convert the save, as we cannot get it off of the wii

cannot copy it
And language isn't the problem, it's the region.. in the savegame file it's just code, not japanese or english. So they have to link to that specific game, usually some number with U E or J (us, europe, japan).. something along those lines
