Title: [PC] Save editor - Memoria (0.6.3.1)
Post by: gjoerulv on 2011-03-07 17:23:30
v0.6.3.1 is available. Download below.

Features:

New in 0.6.3.1:

Known bugs/issues in newest release:


For non-steam/android/ios users:
I want feedback on design etc. But more importantly you can help me figure out the savemap. I included an unknown-values-report form. Open a .mcr file with FF9 data and push F10 (Properties) (PSX files only).
As you can see it will find offsets which values are unknown and compare 'em, and report 'em IF they are different. This way it can be quite easy to figure out the unknown data by loading a game, do minor changes, then save to another slot/block.
The radio buttons which makes sense to use are:
Characters Only (Checks unknown data in characters only).
Block, no character data (Checks all unknown data not related to any characters).

0.5.1b (http://www.mediafire.com/download/2kwh3a7tsm7aymb/Memoria_0.5.1b.zip)
0.5b (http://www.mediafire.com/?wj0cldpyhkfxv55)
0.4b (http://www.mediafire.com/?7bzar8ld0afsmaz)
0.3b (http://www.mediafire.com/?221w1abjb2tsg78)

For Windows. .Net framework 2.0 required.

If your characters heals enemies when attacking, it's because they have the healer ability on. This cannot be undone in game as the healer ability is not visible on all characters. In Memoria goto character tab -> magic stones -> Uncheck healer.

Wow, great work ! I love the layout ; simple and efficient.

Looking at the available options, aside from the story and world positions, it seems to me that you already figured out the whole savemap. Though I'm surprised that you can put 255 in the Strength, Speed, Magic and Spirit boxes - aren't the maximum 100 for Str/Mag and 50 for Spd/Spr ?

EDIT:

Wow, this isn't gonna be simple. I saved my game near the chocobo forest (King Ed Plains), and went to save on another block in Eunorus Plains, near the Dragon Gate. Then, I compared the two blocks with the "block, no character data" function. Here are the results :

I bet the coordinates for the party are in there somewhere, along with the game clock, but wow. I didn't expect so many bytes to change.

I wish I could tag threads now. This is already beautiful :cry:.

Anyway, I need to look into that crc check from FFIX for you, don't I? I don't get much chance to sit down with the FFIX discs, but I'll see if I can smuggle some time in tomorrow.

...I'm surprised that you can put 255 in the Strength, Speed, Magic and Spirit boxes - aren't the maximum 100 for Str/Mag and 50 for Spd/Spr ?

You can, but but anything above 100 won't display correctly. And I'm not sure if the game calculates beyond the max value. I know that if you level up or change equipment your stats will pretty much reset.

Figuring out the savemap shouldn't be too hard. It just requires patience. I'm lacking it for the moment. :P

@NFITC1 smuggle away if you can. I was hoping this release would spawn some crc related work. I'll get to it eventually. If you're looking for a emulator with good debugging pSX 1.13 works fine. I've heard PCSXTrace is pretty good too. I'll check it out.

In case you were wondering, it looks like the texts for saving/loading exist in Dir00: File 39 in the FFIX.img file on disc 1. It contains texts like "Data from another game.", "Data corrupted", "Select MEMORY CARD slot.", "Do not remove MEMORY CARDsor Controllers, or open thedisc cover."[sic], and "Honolulu Harbor Court" (I kid you not). My knowledge of such things seems to end there. :( This is lacking the usual executable header info so there's no real entry point for me to start disassembling at. It's likely this file contains the methods for calculating the CRC because of the "Data corrupted." text that's in there. Without an entry point I don't know what's really going on.

Yes, I knew that. Thanks for the effort!

I figured you would, but I thought I'd mention in case you hadn't looked yet. It seems in that file after all the texts are some images. What kind of images are these and how do I view them?

I meant File index 39h. I know it's the 13th file. I'll see what disassembling starting at 0x6200 gives me.

Just want to show some appreciation to the author for creating this save game editor.
I love the internet, what isn't available through thousands of searches one day, becomes available through a search for something completely different months and sometimes years later.  Was looking for an editor for this game for a long time, glad I stumbled onto this forum!  Thanks gjoerulv!

just a quick note about Mcr files, *.mcr,  *.mcd , *.bin , *.mc ,*.mci, *.ps, *.psm and *.dff  are identical except for the extention you might want to add the other ones to the open file filter just to so your able to open them easily.

Sounds good there sith. Haven't really looked into psx memcard file types yet.
Do all these always have the same, raw format? I mean same length, headers, etc. If I'm not mistaken, there should be encrypted/compressed types as well.

Sounds good there sith. Haven't really looked into psx memcard file types yet.
Do all these always have the same, raw format? I mean same length, headers, etc. If I'm not mistaken, there should be encrypted/compressed types as well.

there a few main types but not are encrypted just the newer formats have huge checksums as part of the header

the "Standard" memcard its just a raw image of a psx mem card (type 3)
the "vgs /mem type" thats a 0x40byte header then the standard format. (type_6)
the "dex-drive" a header of 0xF40 followed by the standard format(type_7)
the "PSP's vmp file" a header of 0x80 followed by the standard format (in the header is a checksum)(type_5)
and "PSV format" a header of 0x84 followed the save and a footer. (checksum and a short version of the memcard index )(type_4)

you might wish to consult the source for black chocobo as it will explain in better detail first you might want to look at

FF7SAVE.h (http://blackchocobo.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/blackchocobo/trunk/FF7SAVE.h?revision=422&view=markup) - The first bit of the file sets const ints for each types size, header , etc.

and also you might want to look at

mainwindow.cpp (http://blackchocobo.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/blackchocobo/trunk/mainwindow.cpp?revision=422&view=markup) - starting on line 167 is loadFullFile this functions does the loading  then later on line 478 there is a save function  it does stuff based on the format (types 3,5,6,7 are what ur looking at) after you
look there next you will want to look at

globals.cpp (http://blackchocobo.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/blackchocobo/trunk/globals.cpp?revision=422&view=markup)-fix_vmc_header() it starts on line 93 . this function ensures that any virtual memory card format get its header data updated (both region and times in the psx header) this is of course important because other wise the system won't reconize the game's save

hope this helps.

I dunno if this is completely dead. But I figured if your still working on this, then maybe I could help somewhat...

I compared a save thats pretty much the exact same, except for being 6 seconds apart here is the setup
Block  Slot   Party          Leader      Disc     Play time   Gil         Location                    Region
1           1     Zidane  lvl 1  only          1       01:04:10  1544   Prima Vista/Crash Site       US
2           2     "    "            " "               " "    01:04:16   " "           "  "                                 " "

No Enhancements to characters at all just opened Memoria 0.3b and compared to recieve these results:

Offset   BlockA  BlockB  A - B

0x0178    2       3      -1
0x017c    0       1      -1
0x13fe   1c      3d      -33
0x13ff   16      60      -74

Comparisson complete!

Dunno if you need this kind of info. If there IS anything you need specifically let me know and ill try to help out. I figure I'll try to be helpful, somehow, instead of running around the forums asking questions all the time. :P

The project is far from dead. The problem is the lack of time I have to work on it (mostly on saturdays, if I don't socialize, which people often do on saturdays lol).

Thanks for the report and the interest.
Offset 0x178 and 0x17C I think may have something to do with play time. Actually I may already know, but I don't have the data in front of me now.
The 2 others are the checksum offsets. They've not unknown, but I obviously forgot to make the report to exclude 'em.

EDIT:

New release. I noticed a few typos. Who cares.

Great tool, I'm very impressed - FF9 seems to be neglected in terms of utilities like this, and I'm glad that somebody's stepped in.

One question: what do the values on the Abilities AP panel correspond to? A1, A2 etc. - assuming it's not a simple alphabetical list of abilities. Do you have tables showing which ability is which?
Title: Re: [WIP/REL 0.4b] Memoria - FFIX Save editor
Post by: gjoerulv on 2011-12-24 12:01:34
I do not know what ability in memoria represent the actual ability in game. A1 = ability1. One way of finding out would be to load a save game (with memoria) that contains abilities with some ap learned. If you know how much ap you've learned for each ability it would be easy to recognise, for instance, what ability a1 is. I'm guessing that Vivi's a1 is fire.

I will sometime in the future label the abilities correctly. After I've identified 'em of course.

Post by: CNash on 2011-12-24 18:29:25
Not to worry - at first glance, it appears to be in order of how they appear on the abilities screen. The first X abilities (the exact number varies by character) are their "Use" abilities, and the rest are their "Equip" abilities. I'll do a more thorough check soon.

Out of general interest, are you still mapping more of the save data, to find things like Chocobo data, key items, or even save position and story event flags?
Title: Re: [WIP/REL 0.4b] Memoria - FFIX Save editor
Post by: gjoerulv on 2011-12-24 20:58:52
As of now it's on halt. I will continue whenever I get an interest, which I eventually will. If you figure something out I would like to know. :o

Ok, I'll run some comparison tests (as you detail in your first post) for you - focus on things like Mognet letters and Chocobo Hot & Cold. :)

Here's a very simple comparison I've just run through - the only difference, besides game time, is that I've changed Window Color in the Options menu from Normal (grey) to Classic (blue). Let me know if these results are useful and, time permitting, I'll do some more complex ones for you. :)

I've had a more thorough look at the Abilities section, and I was correct - the ability numbers in Memoria correspond exactly to the in-game list. I've gone through four characters (Zidane, Vivi, Dagger, Quina) and verified this, so I'm assuming it's the same for the rest. I'd like to do more thorough testing but my method of moving save files around is cumbersome and time-consuming. Anyway, here are the lists:

Beatrix:

Beatrix's abilities aren't affected by the options in Memoria; she keeps her set of Seiken and White Magic
skills no matter what. You can change her amount of Magic Stones, but she has no Equip abilities to use
them on so it's a bit pointless. But, see my note below...

Note: You can equip abilities in the Magic Stones menu that the character can't normally learn. Although you won't be able to see (or change) them in the in-game menu, these will take effect as normal. This can most readily be observed by giving Beatrix - who normally can't learn any Equip abilities - any ability with a visible effect, like any of the Auto- abilities.

Finally, just a small UI bug in Memoria itself - the boxes for A1 and A2 don't tab correctly to the next box, they move to the "Master All" button instead. Sorry, but by profession I'm a computer games tester, so I can't help noticing little things. :)

Beatrix:

Beatrix's abilities aren't affected by the options in Memoria; she keeps her set of Seiken and White Magic
skills no matter what. You can change her amount of Magic Stones, but she has no Equip abilities to use
them on so it's a bit pointless. But, see my note below...

Note: You can equip abilities in the Magic Stones menu that the character can't normally learn. Although you won't be able to see (or change) them in the in-game menu, these will take effect as normal. This can most readily be observed by giving Beatrix - who normally can't learn any Equip abilities - any ability with a visible effect, like any of the Auto- abilities.

Finally, just a small UI bug in Memoria itself - the boxes for A1 and A2 don't tab correctly to the next box, they move to the "Master All" button instead. Sorry, but by profession I'm a computer games tester, so I can't help noticing little things. :)

Thanks!  ;D
 No need to be sorry. I guess they tab wrongly 'cause they have the same tab value. Easy to fix.

I knew about the magic stones. I think most people notice it too. I think there should be an option to add "unobtainable" stones as well. The same goes for equipment.

"Unobtainable" stones?

BTW, is the comparison data I posted any good to you? I used "Block, no character data" because I didn't do anything to change character data in the game, just that one option. Basically, before I embark on a quest to gather relevant data, I just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly... :)
Title: Re: [WIP/REL 0.4b] Memoria - FFIX Save editor
Post by: gjoerulv on 2011-12-27 10:27:44
unobtainable stones = magic stones not learnable to the character. Zidane can't learn auto reflect. But in memoria he can equip it.

It's somewhat useful if you tell what's changed (like you did). As I see it, the window colour from your report can be at least 4 different offsets. It depends on how the game recognise the value for window colour.
Title: Re: [WIP/REL 0.4b] Memoria - FFIX Save editor
Post by: CNash on 2011-12-27 11:31:49
Ah, I see. You call them stones, I call them abilities - hence the confusion. :)

Ok then, I'll try to do some more interesting tests. How about Mognet letters? My basic test pattern would be to go through the game from the start and run a comparison every time a letter is received or delivered; would this provide enough data to see where the Mognet letters data is stored?
Title: Re: [WIP/REL 0.4b] Memoria - FFIX Save editor
Post by: gjoerulv on 2011-12-28 18:56:10
It may most likely. Another way would be to mess around with the unknown values in the misc. tab.
There is still plenty to identify in the savemap, and everything I haven't identified is in the unknowns. You can edit the entire save map with memoria this way.

Just thought I'd ask if extra options to alter the number of thefts and various variables in the chocobo side quest (option to receive and set the flag for a chocograph's completion, chocobo colour (Yellow, light blue, red, dark blue and gold), point modifier (for buying things from the moogle in the gardens (forest, lagoon and air garden))) or options to set sidequest flags (either say they're completed or not, or for multi-part quests set how much has been done, like the friendly creatures sidequest)

If you have the offsets I'll be glad to add 'em.

I have added successful thefts, just not released.

EDIT 1 : Everything from start of the game to first time you control Steiner. I'll be focusing on items you pick up, so I don't have anything rewarded to the player (such as when you find Mittens the kitten). I hope I haven't forgotten anything so far.

EDIT 2 : I did forget the Lizard man card previously. I accidentally found the Elixir from Breireicht.

EDIT 3 : Start of the game - in front of ice cavern. I don't think I forgot anything here.

EDIT 4 : Ice cavern done.

EDIT 5 : Black Waltz#2 defeated.

EDIT 6 : Just before start of FotH. A lot of items to pick up, let's hope I haven't forgotten something here.

EDIT 7 : Ok, I added the last chests for Lindblum Disc 1.

EDIT 8 : I didn't see that ArtMoney was using a different format than GS. So I added both.
Title: Re: [WIP/REL 0.4b] Memoria - FFIX Save editor
Post by: aladore384 on 2012-12-18 23:59:10
I'm taking a break on the treasure chests. I looked into the FotH data, and here is what I've found :

ArtMoney : 30181EA9 / GameShark : 3007B029 :
01 : Zidane wins
02 : Vivi wins
04 : Freya wins
=> And apparently any other number will make Freya the winner.

ArtMoney : 80181EAA / GameShark : 8007B02A is Zidane's best score (I'm using Gameshark format, so starting with 8 is 2 bytes and starting with 3 is 1 byte) (theoretical max is 303).

ArtMoney : 80181EAC / GameShark : 8007B02C is the winner's score. This is the one who has to be at least 100 (dec, 64 hex) for Moodon's letter to be available.

I'll quickly check the last chests in Lindblum Disc 1 and edit my above post. Then, I'll try to find some Chocobo related data.
Title: Re: [WIP/REL 0.4b] Memoria - FFIX Save editor
Post by: aladore384 on 2012-12-19 01:01:55
ArtMoney : 30181DF5 / GameShark : 3007AF75
02 : Step 8, first time you dig up a "Chocograph piece"
10 : Step 4, you pay for first H&C
20 : Step 3, tells you the big secret

ArtMoney : 30181DF7 / GameShark : 3007AF77
80 : Step 5, first H&C completed (replaces "What's the big secret?" with "Play Chocobo Hot & Cold")

ArtMoney : 30181E21 / GameShark : 3007AFA1
01 : Step 6, first time you get to the points screen for trade
02 : Step 7, found first Stone With Patterns (Chocograph)
08 : Step 2, coming back with Choco
80 : Step 1, Choco runs away

--

Now, I have a 3 bytes adress :

"H&C current pts (for trade) :
30181DE0, 30181DE1, 30181DE2
=> cap is 99,999

---

Second 3 bytes adress :

"H&C total pts (hidden, for beak level) :
ArtMoney : 30181DF8, 30181DF9, 30181DFA
GameShark : 3007AF60, 3007AF61, 3007AF62
=> this is where the true amount is stored, regardless of whether or not you exchanged points.

Revival_Flame posted the amount needed for each level : http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/197338-/58752074


--

Back to normal adresses :

ArtMoney : 30181DFB / GameShark 3007AF7B :
Beak Level

30181E2F(AM)/3007AFAF(GS) is Choco Modifier (color) :
01 : Field (Yellow)
02 : Reef (Light Blue)
03 : Mountain (Red)
04 : Sea (Dark Blue)
05 : Sky (Gold)

30181DDF(AM)/3007AF5F(GS) :
01 : will display a Star next to your current points
=> this is rewarded to people attaining 99,999 pts

---

From my understanding of what has been discussed here and the PM you sent me, I guess you already have most of this.

---

EDIT 1, this has nothing to do with H&C :

30181DCC(AM)/3007AF4C(GS)
30181DCD(AM)/3007AF4D(GS)
30181DCE(AM)/3007AF4E(GS)
30181DCF(AM)/3007AF4F(GS)
=> these adresses seem to be related on if whether or not you already visited a place.
for instance, when you first visit Qu's Marsh, it appears as "?" on the worldmap.

---

EDIT 2 :

Mogster's tutorial :

These adresses is about if you read or not the tutoria0 ("New!" icon).
The values are set to FF by default, and they decrease by the amount associated.

ArtMoney 30181E22 / GameShark 3007AFA2 :
01 : Help Menu
02 : Battles
04 : Abilities
08 : Trance
10 : Icon that appears over the head
20 : Save Moogles
40 : Status Effects
80 : Elemental Properties

ArtMoney 30181E23 / GameShark 3007AFA3 :
01 : Card Game
02 : Synthesis Shops

In the memory-cards it starts at 0x2000. Each block is 0x2000 in size but only 0x1400 bytes are used. In memory I do not know. If the adresseses are relative to each other the same way on the card as it is memory it would be kinda awesome.

I found a bug in the editor. I have Ore item in my inventory. So using the save editor to bring that up to 50. Somehow the editor see it as "Opal". And I see two Opal in the drop down menu of item. I thought maybe it is the editor see it as Opal but ingame it is really Ore. So I tested it out. and they both showing Opal in the game. Can you fix that problem? I checked the previous version of the editor and it show two Opal in the drop down menu list. If you can fix it, it will be great.

You probably have the "healer" ability checked. This ability can't be unchecked in-game for characters that normally can't learn them.

Be sure epsxe is not running when you use Memoria. I guess that may cause the bug.
Or maybe you don't have the rights to open the file (epsxe000.mcr) ? You would need to run Memoria as administrator (right-click on the program should display that option).

Hi guys.  :)
Since FFIX is my favourite Final Fantasy, i've found this tool very interesting. I'm trying it out now.
Anyway, i was wondering if i can replace card images, or maybe add more than 100 cards (but seems to me difficult).
I have made a lot of card images (about 50 at the time) from FFIX monsters, characters and such, which are not featured ingame, (also from FFX and other FF) and i would try to fit them ingame!
If someone think this is possible, please let me know answering here.
If someone is interested to see how my cards looks, just ask me and i will upload them on my Deviantart page as soon as i can.

Hi Blankamarant.

As far as I know, it hasn't been tried yet to replace the card images. Zidane_2 made a tool (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=6968.0) that extracts some images from the game but cannot replace them inside. Plus, I'm not sure cards have the "TIM" data format (the format Zidane_2's tool can extract).

About possibilities, It should be quiet doable to replace images but it'd be really hard to create new cards.

you are talking about scripting?

Thank you for this great tool. Nice to see that FF9 gets some attention too.
I was playing around with the tool and noticed in the card section that card type "A" is missing in the drop-down list. I've only read about there being A-type cards and I've never actually seen one myself so maybe M,P,X are the only available types.

You are right. I didn't know that as I've never seen one. But according to the ff wiki it seems type 'A' exists.

EDIT: I uploaded a new release for the with the card type A included. Figured it was worth it. 0.5.1b available in op.

Some non-interesting data :

Alleyway Jack's Tetra Master tutorial works the same way as Mogster's tutorial. The value decreases as you read an entry.

There you go :

Alleyway Jack's Tetra Master tutorial

These adresses is about if you read or not the tutorial ("New!" icon).
The values are set to FF by default, and they decrease by the amount associated.

ATTN gjoerulv :

If you're interested into adding an option for Tetra Master that will max cards and their stats, I made a 600 lines GS code.

US version : http://aladore3viii4.free.fr/files/FF9/FF9%20-%20Tetra%20Master%20AR%20-%202%20-%20US.txt

FR version : http://aladore3viii4.free.fr/files/FF9/FF9%20-%20Tetra%20Master%20AR%20-%202.txt

This gives the legit. maximum stats cards. Arrow distribution is aiming for 1700 pts so they're all different, the cards with the more combined stats having the more arrows.
Title: Re: [WIP/REL 0.5.1b] Memoria - FFIX Save editor
Post by: gjoerulv on 2014-07-09 10:38:52
@aladore384
Thanks. Lazy as I am didn't bother figuring out how the game calculated the score (I started research, but didn't finish). At first I assumed maxed out stats and arrows would max out the score.
Title: Re: [WIP/REL 0.5.1b] Memoria - FFIX Save editor
Post by: aladore384 on 2014-07-10 16:30:09
Unique card : 10 pts
Unique arrow set : 5 pts
Attack type X : 1 pts. Attack type A : 1 more pts for a total of 2 pts.
Total per card : 17 pts max

17*100 = 1,700 pts - max collector rank.

As for the Attack, Physical Defence, Magical Defence they provide no pts for the collector rank. However each card's stats can be improved and each card has its own limits (or maximum stats).

Rebirth Flame provided a list with 2 small errors (decimal values are given in the parentheses right after the displayed value by the game) :

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/197338-final-fantasy-ix/56828459#10

First error was Sahagin's max stats that are corrected on post #13 and goes like this : Attack 25, PDefence 18, MDefence 4.

Second error was Ozma's original (basic) type attack which is not M as Rebirth listed it but rather P as corrected by espritduo who provided us with a full corrected list (values are listed in decimal) :

I cant't recall if Vivi's trance is on hold until then. In any case, certain editing will make the game prone to crashes/soflocks etc. Giving Vivi trance early might just do that. Certain early battles are very scripted and trance may interfere with some scripts.

Post by: gjoerulv on 2015-08-08 13:35:53
You mean Freya? She is the only one that can jump. And the jump mechanics doesn't have anything to do with the items or cards I think. Maxing the stats and magic stones is not a good idea depending on how far into the game you are. Not all characters have all magic stones for instance. Trance Jump may get values the game can't handle. Again, cheating like this can confuse the game. it's not a bug in the editor.

Hi! Sorry for the slight gravedig here... FFIX is my favourite Final Fantasy game (with 8 and 7 being right behind them) and I was wondering if it's possible to edit PS3 or PSP/Vita saves. Having beaten FFIX a bunch of times, I'd kind of like to play the game with the ability to use the Excalibur II for example (doing a perfect game sounds too demanding especially if I'm playing the PSN version) and I tried using this with a save file from my PS3, and I couldn't save it back to PSV. I could only save it back to MCR or any of those other save formats. It would be nice to be able to save in PSV or VMP format.

If you read the help file you'll see that those type of files have some sort of signing that causes the file to be corrupted if you alter any data. I don't have the best of time right now, but if you check out the black chocobo thread I know they have been discussing it there.

Hello guys,
I found some time to experiment both with the HadesWorkshop  :-o and Memoria  :D.
I am currently on Linux (L)ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and by using Wine the HadesWorkshop works fine so far, but with Memoria there are two message errors popping up both when launching the exe and when opening/editing a save file (mcr or mcd) with the result that I could not edit save states.
(https://orig02.deviantart.net/2a28/f/2016/045/5/0/50fc4f01b9215658aa5b7ff0cc66af40-d9rotrq.png)
If anyone could suggest me something about how to solve this issue I would really appreciate it.
Anyway, on windows works fine but I removed it from my PC now.

Hi, first I want to say that the editor is really cool and very useful. Do you plan on doing a compatibility with the Androd version? I've tried already but -silly of me- the editor cannot load the data. I was hoping to use it only to reset the timer: I've finished the game many times and I want to do a run to enjoy the stories, but also I don't want to lose the Excalibur II (I'm barely to the end of Burmesia and I already have 9 hours of playing)! I hope you can save the day XD

The iOS and Android versions of FFIX were released recently. I believe both use a new filetype for saves. Here's a save from the iOS version. It would rad if you were able to add support for it!

That would solve it lol. Not to worry. I'll try and find out how I can go about that error. Personally I've only had minor graphic issues running memoria with wine (on ubuntu). It's a looong time ago I tried running it on linux though.

You need to be patient. If someone doesn't answer you right away, wait a day or two, instead of nagging several times within a few hours. I've deleted your unnecessary bump posts.

Also, the Steam version only just came out. I don't think the save format has even been cracked yet, and there's no way of knowing how long it will take to do that. It could be a day or it could be a year or longer.

Save data structure:
Code: [Select]
binaryWriter.Write(this.Header, 0, 4);  // "SAVE"
binaryWriter.Write(this.SaveVersion);
binaryWriter.Write(this.DataSize);
binaryWriter.Write(this.LatestSlot);
binaryWriter.Write(this.LatestSave);
binaryWriter.Write(this.LatestTimestamp);
binaryWriter.Write(this.IsGameFinishFlag);
binaryWriter.Write(this.SelectedLanguage);
binaryWriter.Write(this.IsAutoLogin);
binaryWriter.Write(this.SystemAchievementStatuses);
binaryWriter.Write(this.ScreenRotation);
byte[] array = new byte[249];  /Padding?
binaryWriter.Write(array, 0, array.Length);
                byte[] array2 = encryption.Encrypt(bytes); //AES encrypted saves ?
                writer.Write(array2, 0, array2.Length);

Game checks for magic "SAVE".

Read:
Code: [Select]
int cipherSize = encryption.GetCipherSize(288);
byte[] bytes = reader.ReadBytes(cipherSize);

For data types:
Code: [Select]
this.SaveVersion = binaryReader.ReadSingle();
this.DataSize = binaryReader.ReadInt32();
this.LatestSlot = binaryReader.ReadInt32();
this.LatestSave = binaryReader.ReadInt32();
this.LatestTimestamp = binaryReader.ReadDouble();
this.IsGameFinishFlag = binaryReader.ReadInt32();
this.SelectedLanguage = binaryReader.ReadInt32();
this.IsAutoLogin = binaryReader.ReadSByte();
this.ScreenRotation = binaryReader.ReadByte();


Tried AES (CBC) decrypt, but no good.

EDIT2: I'm getting closer to save decryption. It's a bit more complicated. The file contains multi AES encrypted files inside. Soon the file is going to be decrypted.
EDIT3: ehhh. I quit for today... I don't understand. This doesn't make sense.

Probably never, as this reads memory cards from PSX, not Unity data.
We'd need a whole new utility for reading Steam saves.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Actually, there should be no problem with the saves, because the saves for ff7 and ff8 pc versions weren't changed, and the existing editors only needed to get updates for the new encryption method. You can also ask yourself "Would I bother to change something that works?", it would be a waste of money and time needed to implement and test a new method of saving game data.

The only reason I could think of that would necessitate doing that would be added functionality, but the game is completely unchanged, right?

tl;dr: No worries, this editor should work as soon as gjoerulv finds a way to get inside those files, edit them and reencrypt them.

Probably never, as this reads memory cards from PSX, not Unity data.
We'd need a whole new utility for reading Steam saves.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Hey dude, nice to see you here too, thanks for your mods :)
Why a converter only ??
This editor can red/write the saves in many formats already, it's just a matter to add a way to handle the new unity save type, or i'm wrong ?
Why we should convert the save, edit it and convert it back (?) if the author is here and looks like he's already working on adding the support ? i missed something ?

Read posts before yours, is known FF9 PC/iOS/Android is made whit unity, extra work to read/write unity saves is needed, the keys to decrypt/re-encrypt are already know, again, reads some posts back.

Let's wait and see what gjoerulv will pull, i bet something great :)

Problem is that, in this case, it's different. The savemap is over twice as big (it's also mixed in with achievement stuff it seems). And character encoding is different. The size thing could be due to them storing bytes as integers etc.

I've successfully managed to read from the files. The next step will be to figure out what is what. Hopefully it saves/loads in the same order. Meaning data is in relative position to a memorycard.

EDIT: The reason why FF7 and FF8 were easy, is because those games already had PC versions.

strawberries... I actually skipped page 4 of this topic...

Anyway, most of what I said should hold true, the save format should remain mostly unchanged? Even if there is additional data (like achievements etc.), it should be placed at the beginning or end of the file. Any other way, ex. randomly adding pieces of data like so: O*ld*Da*ta*Som*eth*i*ng*OrO*th*er (* - is new data) would be illogical, and would require more work than it is worth.
The new file structure should be something like: NewDataOldDataNewData

Anyway, enough of my ranting, especially if what I say is wrong.

@gjoerulv: Is there any progress? Did you find anything in those files?

Edit: Didn't know there is a word filter here? Sorry about that.

Post by: gjoerulv on 2016-04-18 23:57:39
Yes I have found cards, item, character data (most of it) and some other minor things. But the savemap is ordered almost completely different. It's not as simple as adjusting a variable. A few more days (maybe tomorrow) and 'll have something ready. It's not like I can work 24/7 on it lol.

Luckily cards and items have the same expected values. But cards have 2 extra bytes (side? and cpoint??) as well as a 3 byte padding after each card.

The game seems to be storing data by parsing JSON objects, which makes me a tad bit concerned about the stability of the file. But I guess it will be maintained.

EDIT: And it's out. I have no idea how good it will work on Android and iOS files. I tested on steam files and files sent to me, and so far it's working ok. It's always healthy to backup your files. Luckily FF9rr has a cloud save feature you could use to do that (assuming it works lol).
Title: Re: [FF9] Save editor - Memoria (0.6b)
Post by: andercostald on 2016-04-23 02:23:45
Tested Memoria 0.6b on Steam version. Item editing works very well. I don't care about the magic stones since this version has a boost that max them. I keep the old version to edit my PSX emulator save...
EDIT: If you put an Excalibur II on your item inventory, you don't recieve the Excalibur II achievement!!!  ;)
The other save editors from FF7 (Black Chocobo) and FF8(Hyne), due to a bug, give me the achievements related to obtaining some important items. Please don't activate achievements with item editing!!!
Title: Re: [FF9] Save editor - Memoria (0.6b)
Post by: gjoerulv on 2016-04-23 03:48:39
That achievement thing is not necessarily a bug with the editors. It depends on how the game triggers the achievements, how they are stored/communicate with related media (steam, google play,...), etc.

Another topic:
To allow conversions between PSX files and RR files more of the savemap should be figured out. I can only import/export stuff that is editable by Memoria. Stuff like game-progression, chocographs and key items will be left out. If anyone have a lot of time on their hands feel free to study the savefiles :P

Post by: gjoerulv on 2016-04-23 07:39:48
Editing single cards is fine. Operation on all cards cause an exception. I have fixed it but I'll wait for more feedback/testing before releasing a fix. Card type "A" seems to work after all. It didn't seem to register last time I tried, but I just changed a bunch of cards to type A and this time it worked... It may be the game recalculating stuff, or I'm too tired for this right now and can't keep up haha.

For example, I have used Black Chocobo to put a Knights of the Round Materia and recieved the achievement related to it. I wanted to put this important item and don't recieve the achievement. That make me liked the item editing on Memoria 0.6b! ;)

Hello

Testing adding characters to party, seem to be having no luck at all.. maybe im doing somin wrong, but im at the starting point to where the airship which crashed with Zidane, tried to add multiple characters but with no avail, is it due to where the story is at the moment?

EDIT: Maybe i misundestood, is it only thet card/item editing working at this moment in time? all stat change and party add does not seem to tweak at all, saves fine and does reconise the change if i load it again, but nothing ingame at all. saving again would go back to default.

EDIT: Figured it out, it was the auto save section where he comes out of the new zone from the downed airship, ran back to moogle, doh! haha Thanks again for AMAZING work!

Many Thanks

We got a full save editor a couple of days after the release of the game! Of course it has some problems and more will pop out from now on until it's fully working. Not a reason to start complaining.

BTW, didn't know you were implementing Hot n Cold editing. Nice one. I like the mini game itself, but the time you need to finish it is way to much.

Ok, I got home rel late last night. Now I have slept all day with a hangover from hell. :P I'll look into the various stuff now.

@hinigashi
Yes I got your mail. Keep in mind that the preview of the party in-game isn't updated.

EDIT:
It seems if (x = magic stones) then if (max x - current x =/= current x in use) then x set will somehow be recalculated by the game (but I'm not sure yet). That means each time I set an ability I have to adjust x accordingly. Which kinda ruins the convenience of a save editor. It becomes more of a hassle.

Controls that are disabled represents offsets I don't know where are. Thus the disabling.

First of all, I´d like to introduce myself, and second, thank gjoerulv for the amazing work, Thank you...

And I have one question, I was playing FFIX on my PS3 and I was wondering if there is a way to convert from PS3 save format (.PSV I think...) to Steam format (.dat), I would like to play FFIX on my laptop, or even iPad, would be in the future possible to convert one format into other?

I´ve also read 2 posts up that editing the values of a .dat to mimic my .psv would be a way... sounds feasible, I don´t want to edit everything, I just want a save game closest to my original one of PS3 as possible.

Again, thank you very much.

According to update notes on the store page:

"The latest version will correct the following issues. Please update your app.

- The fog effect on the world map causing the screen to turn white on devices with certain video cards.
- Dismounting a Chocobo near Chocobo's Forest causes the Chocobo to appear above the forest.
- Dismounting a Chocobo directly below Ipsen's Castle causes Zidane to freeze.
- During the ending, a portion of the subtitles overlap before the previous sentence has finished.
- Other minor bugs fixed."


And this is a fun part.

I've had no issues after update. Also found "frogs captured" and "Dragons slain" addresses. They actually were correct in 0.6b.

But "successful thefts" doesn't seem to work. Isn't that suppose to increment each time you successfully steal something?

Chocobo hot and cold is also different from PSX files. Searching for integer or double values for the direct value have proven useless...

Here are my notes when working on this (all addresses are in hex, absolute position):

Code: [Select]

items 1477 (1st bye nr, 2nd byte id)

CHARACTER 1 (ZIDANE)
BASE
spd 1677
mHP 1678
mMP 167A
mag 167C
str 167D
spr 167E

mdf 1690
mev 1691
def 1692
eva 1693
(attack not in savefile)

cHP 168C
cMP 168E

BONUS
bHP 16AC (bonus max HP)
bMP 16AE
spd 1694
mag 1695
str 1696
spr 1697

trance 1769
stausbits ?? (before trance?)
pools ??

equip 1698
exp 169D
magic stones 16AB
Ability1 1730 (Flee osv, 1 byte each)

Party 0x1F4B

GIL 1473

CARDS
draw 1467
lose 1469
win  146B

START at 1018 if 0 padding at start; 101B if not
(Looks like 0 padding at end (3x 0 bytes) -> start = 101B
IF 101B:
0 = Arrows
1 = Attack
2 = side or cpoint??
3 = ID (type: fang, goblin osv)
4 = MDef
5 = PDef
6 = side or cpoint??
7 = Attack type

There is most likely separate data in the savefile (and/or other places) that controls achievements. I don't think it's impossible to control it with an editor, but at this moment I'm only concerned with actual save-data.

To easily get the Excalibur 2 achievement: Add it with Memoria -> equip with Steiner -> unequip -> lmao
I got the lvl 99 achievement by using the in-game booster...

Hey gjoerulv, just created this account so that I can say a big thank you for working your ass off to get the save editor up and working for the Steam version.

Really appreciate the work you have done - even though you get paid nothing but endless impatient questions on this forum XD

if its like FF7 steam its achievements.dat and its a very simple file. ff7's is s few bytes and each bit is an achievement flag , simply writing 0XFFFFFF to the file will give you them all

Created an account to thanks you a lot! You are a real savior and time-saver!

Just two things worth mentionning i guess :

I was modifying the save, restart the game, chose the first option at the title screen, and the savefile wasn't modified. I did the two following things, if someone have the same problem :

- I switched my game in english (I was playing in french. To change language, go to the bottom left of the title screen and change it there);
- I used the third option at the title screen and used the slot I modified with Memoria

Now the modification worked well!

for quinas b-mag, you can go to the master abilility in game and itll give you all b-mag(for me atleast idk if it was a glitch or not lol)

I'm wondering if there's a way to set ATE's count? I apparently missed one somewhere and I don't feel like playing the WHOLE game over again for one achievement. I've managed to trigger one of the other achievements I've missed through CE but can't figure out ATE, Once I find the value it changes before I get another ATE. OR, does anyone have a save right before the final ATE where they have all the previous ones?

Also, adding key items and mognet stuff?

Hi gjoerulv! A few months ago i've started a new run of FFIX (PSX version) with an emu on my pc, almost reaching the end of the second disc. I would be happy if I could edit the save files of the Steam version to make it equal of the emulated one, so that I should not start it again. do you think it will be possible in the future?

To answer this again:

Making conversions between PSX and Re-release version (100%) isn't possible unless more of the savemap is figured out. BOTH PSX and re-release. I can only export/import things that are editable in Memoria. That means, for example, all story progression will be lost. If anyone are willing to help I can make a raw-file exporter that dumps the raw, decrypted file to a file. That way anyone can examine their save with a hex editor. Sadly I don't have much time as I'm working 120% these days... "/ And when I do have free it's not very tempting to be stuck behind a computer lol (I work at least 8 hrs a day behind a computer haha). That being said, I'm still willing to do some work. And I will, so don't worry.  :)

Also, the source is available; read the help file.

@snapx
In regards of cards: I'm guessing you can't go beyond the max limit of points; you may confuse the game. There is a post explaining how it's calculated (not be my) in this thread.

EDIT: Also, if you still have version 0.6b you can edit frogs captured. Just don't use that version to edit cards, that's all. I removed it from download 'cause that card bug can cause serious issues. The reason I disabled it in 0.6.1b is because I believed it was the wrong address, but I was mistaken: I had the correct one. Same thing with dragon slain. I'm not sure about successful thefts.

I don't have much to on; assuming here:
You are on windows trying to edit steam save.
You are opening the file SaveData_ww.dat in C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY IX\Steam\EncryptedSavedData\SavedData_ww.dat

You select slot 1 and saveId 1.
You click to edit the 1st (and only) row.
Edit window opens, you edit stuff and then click "ok".
You click "save".
Goes in game, open saveSlot 1 saveId 1 and Nothing is changed.

Does this sound correct?

Hi,

it's impossible with the current save editor to edit the number of ennemies defeated in order to get the "Let the bodies hit the floor" achievement on Steam. I remember in the Hyne Save Editor for FF8 it was possible edit the number of ennemies defeated to get the "kill 10k ennemies" a lot faster. Do you think the number is saved somewhere in the FF9 save file ?

i have been playing my game for a while and i got up to the part on D3 where kuja sends you off to retrieve the gulug stone and i decided to use memoria to edit and have some fun. all mods worked, including successful steals for thievery, (except magic stones, for some reason they reset to what they should be for some characters after a time) but an additional thing happened. NPC health doesnt change when hit with thievery. npc health is right (just over 4200) but thievery doesnt do the posted damage (9999). i attacked with freya and she did stuff all (392) and then a thundara was reflected back at it. its max health changed from 4200~ to 1175 which is what thundara's reflected damage was

Post by: Tirlititi on 2016-07-04 09:15:39
The enemies' stats can't possibly be modified using Memoria : it only changes the memory card data and the enemies are not saved on memory cards ^^

I think your bug comes from overflow. If the "number of successful steals" is too high (say 30000), then the damage for Thievery works oddly. The damage it should deal is too high to be stored in a 16-bits variable (the number of steals is 16-bits since it's a short integer) and the game interprets that high number as a negative number.
That means you're actually healing the Adamantoise instead of hurting it. The damage number is white (and not green) because the damage are not flagged as heal ; they're only negative.

You have to reduce the "number of successful steals". Also check the "number of dragons killed" and such...

I registered an account just to say thanks for creating this, and also to point out that I managed to successfully edit both Android and iOS FF9 save files using this program.

Running Android, the .dat file is pretty easy to find in the following directory (which you will need root in order to access): DeviceStorage\Android\data\com.square_enix.FFIXww.android_googleplay\files\EncryptedSavedData\SavedData.dat

In iOS it's a little trickier. You either need a:

A) Jailbroken device (in which case you can find the .dat file in the app package under <app>\Documents\EncryptedSaved\)
B) Device running an iOS version between iOS 7.0 and iOS 8.2 (inclusive).

7.0 is the earliest iOS version supported by the game and in iOS versions up to (and including) 8.2, you can access app data without jailbreak through a program like iFunBox (under <app>\Documents\EncryptedSaved\).

My main iPhone and iPad are both running 9.3, so I couldn't jailbreak or access app data. I managed to track down an old iPad running iOS 8.1.2 and got FF9 set up on it with my iCloud account. After that, I downloaded my save file from the cloud to the old iPad, pulled it off the device with iFunBox, edited it in Memoria, put it back on the device, and uploaded the edited save to the cloud. Once the edited save was in the cloud, I could pull it back down on my main devices and load it like normal. Note that you'll need to load the save file from the save slot rather than just hitting the "Continue" button on the main menu; the auto-save loaded by the "Continue" button is not the one you edited in Memoria.

Hopefully someone else will find this helpful. Older iOS devices can barely run FF9, so prepare to deal with a lot of app crashes and just be persistent.

If the "Format" function should, as the icon and key combination suggest, clear the selected slot. Be advised that it doesn't work on the Steam version (As advertised in the Help file).

Any one would know how to delete a single slot? My OCD would thank you!

And the terms Slot and files have been inverted in Memoria.

In the game, slot contains save files. And in Memoria Files contains slots... So what i really want is to delete a single file, and not the whole slot.

Ok, I'll fix the labels. It may cause confusion.
In order to successfully delete a file I need to know how a deleted file looks like and if there is any metadata that needs updated because of it. The 1st part should be easy.

Known bugs/issues: Setting abilities (magic stones) only works like it would in-game (if I'm not mistaken). Meaning setting all abilities won't work, most likely. Also setting Cardattack/def values to max will cause the card to reset when they lvl (255->0). Try setting these values a bit lower to avoid this.

This might have been discussed, but I'm not taking the time right now to look back through everything on this thread.

-I've used cheat devices to enable all abilities on PSX versions and they all worked fine together. At least, the obvious ones like auto-regen, auto-life, etc were obviously working. I'm not sure about the more subtle ones like Man Eater and such.

-Each card has its own max attack/defense values based on the object on the card. It has taken me YEARS to discover, but I finally have the max values for each card:

Code: [Select]
Name Max Atk Starting Type Max PDef Max MDef
Goblin 7 Physical 9 4
Fang 9 Physical 10 4
Skeleton 11 Physical 12 10
Flan 13 Magical 6 19

Lizard Man 17 Physical 15 8
Zombie 19 Magical 19 11
Bomb 21 Magical 12 21
Ironite 23 Physical 23 13
Sahagin 25 Physical 18 4
Yeti 27 Magical 6 26
Mimic 29 Magical 20 27
Wyerd 31 Magical 9 33
Mandragora 33 Magical 15 39

Use this as you will, but if the values of these cards is set ABOVE these numbers then the level up check fails and the value gets incremented by 1. If it's already at 255 then the value will overflow back to 0. When a card wins a battle with another card it has a chance of leveling from Physical/Magical to what is internally called "Flexiable" (not a typo on my part), then can go from that to "Assault".

Someone beat me to that list who knows how long ago (http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/197338-final-fantasy-ix/70546276). It's outside of the time that I cared about finding out, though so I didn't know about it when I did my own digging. Still, both lists have identical values in different formats.

Hello all,

To begin, congratulations for this amazing tool, really, you have all my admiration and respect.

I have just a little idea / thing to say: Can you extend the hex-editor to the full file, or at least include the last part? I see that others editors do this, but in this one will be immensely useful. It will give us a lot of more options that now, with the encrypted file of the Steam verstion, we can't do (we can't edit it easily). For example, I'm very interested on modify this specific part:

(http://i.imgur.com/MJdiufb.jpg)
(The screenshot was done with a decrypted file, using this little tool that Maki posted: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=11494.msg239941#msg239941)

That line is excluded from the Unknow values area, in the 'Misc.' tab of the editor, and that specific part is very important because, according to my research, it holds the total number of kills, a thing very, very important for the achievement hunters (grind 10.000 kills it's a panic).

Regards and thank you so much for this tool and your work!

Hey!

Been a long time user of this neat little tool. Now with the Steam version I was trying it out, but the stats pool are locked. I know you have little time, gjoerulv, but do you think these will be available any time soon? I use them on my net game plus and was wondering if I should put the game off for a while because of that.

Best regards and good luck!


Edit: I also found a little bug on the editor. The number of steals is stuck at 15 and can't be edited. Its like a dummy value or something that doesn't correlate to the number of steals.

I take you edit it to 15 in Memoria (or was 15 from before) steal in-game, just to see it's still 15 in Memoria? I had my suspicions that one was off.

@Hadugo: The hex editor is pretty worthless when it comes to the steam release as the offsets are meaningless. You can still edit there though. I'll add an hex editor that can edit the entire thing. Also an export/import feature in order to dump raw, decrypted data to a file.

Edit: New version uploaded. Pr usual I always screw something up. This time i named the file wrong haha.

For starter just want to say thx for the amazing editor. I just tried using it and it works great on all EXCEPT for the more recent saved files. On the picture below ive tried opening them all and it seems to give me the error message from block 8 to block 13 which is the last save i made. The saved files from 1-7 all works, just the 8+ blocks have a problem and is the one i would like to edit. Is there anyway of fixing this?

http://imgur.com/a/Nc13B

Never mind i found out how to get around it as it seems the problem is with the block 8+ rather than the save file so i saved my recent file over one of the blocks from 1-7 and it works.

I just emailed them to you but i dont think its related to the file itself. Im guessing its something more like computer compatibility like perhaps its cause im using window 7 or any system file didnt go well with the editor. As long as the saved files were in  block 1-7 it didnt get the pop up.

I know it's tedious to read the whole thread for an answer, but I've responded to similar questions before in this thread. I'll just quote myself:

Making conversions between PSX and Re-release version (100%) isn't possible unless more of the savemap is figured out. BOTH PSX and re-release. I can only export/import things that are editable in Memoria.

Unfortunately the savemaps are not similar. No easy conversion is possible as far as I know. For example: Character data is not at the same relative offset, in a slightly different order and contains more data (or was it less?) in the rerelease. Also much of the data is stored differently. Single bytes have been replaced by integers and so on. There is more to it, but needless to say it's not as simple as it may sound. And to top it off, I don't have much time to work on it either...

Some better infos about chocobo hot and cold:

Since there was no update in a while, i took a look at the chocobo stuff and this is how it's stored in memory:

Code: [Select]
0x00 Int(1)     Chocobo 99,999 Points reached (0/1) - the star shown at the Points-Review ingame, as you can spend points, this is somehow a proof that you reached the 99,999 points
0x01 Int(3)     Chocobo Points (99,999 = max)
0x1C Int(1)     Beak Level (there is no value for the star at lvl 99, it is displayed automatical)
0x1D Int(2)     Beak EP needed to Levelup, at lvl 99 it won't decrease anymore
0x23 Int(2)     Items found at air garden
0x25 Int(2)     Items found at lagoon and ocean
0x27 Int(2)     Items found at forest
0x29 Int(2)     Record at air garden
0x2B Int(2)     Record at lagoon and ocean
0x2D Int(2)     Record at forest
0x49 Int(3)     Tresures found on worldmap (bitwise stored)
0x4C Int(3)     Chocobo Maps digged up in forest, lagoon and ocean (bitwise stored)
0x4F Int(1)     Chocobo unlocked (set always to same value as ability level, this will give access to that ability)
0x50 Int(1)     Chocobo Ability Level (1=Field, 2=Reef, 3=Mt, 4=Sea, 5=Sky) - every value inherits the previous ability, 5 will give all, 6 may crash the game (PSX only)

Infos created with PC Version, PSX uses the same order and got the same unknown values inbetween the others, maybe it helps finding the location at the savegame.

You open a file by going File -> Open...


If you use steam your savefile is here (I assume windows 10):
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\LocalLow\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY IX\Steam\EncryptedSavedData
select the 'SavedData_ww.dat' file. Next select slot and file (you must remember, but could always check in the game if you forgot).
When successfully opened right file, double click the row and start editing. When done remember to save.

After many hours of Agony, I managed to get this to work on not ONLY an Emulator but on mac as well!!

Mac:
I had to create a wineskin (easy), then go into the settings and configure the .net framework in the Winetricks section (This took me ages to realise)

Getting the save to work (on Opememu):
The program worked fine, but for whatever reason, the changes weren't saving. Turns out that I had to delete the auto savestate that Openemu creates in order for it to wipe the battery saves in Mednafen.

There ya go, two audiences pleased for the price of one

(If you wish, I can send the exact Wineskin I created and you can add it to the file the program uses)

I've been using this on a steam save, shortly after the theatre ship crashes. The first time I made changes, everything saved fine and dandy, I however was stupid and forgot I was still going to be changing gear around.

This of course reset my stats on Zidane, and of course means it will happen as I adjust gear in game with other characters.

So, I tried editing stats/gear again on the same steam save, but nothing sticks but the level and experience. Has anyone had this same experience, and a fix?

This can't be "fixed" unless you alter the gamecode to not adjust stats when equipping. Every time you equip something different, the game adjusts attack, (m)defense and (m)evasion. However, your core stats like strength etc, will remain in tact.

First of all, I want to thank you for the editor.
I have a doubt. I edit the save (core stats), I put it in the psp with cwcheat and I start to play. But when I level up, core stats return to their original state. Is there any way to make those changes permanent? I repeat that I just want to slightly increase core stats.
Thank you.

I think (I may be wrong) what you want to do is to make you characters lvl 99 and max experience points (maybe lvl 99 is enough). Every time your characters level the stats will adjust accordingly based on certain variables, most importantly what level the character achieves. The save editor can't override this as it's determined by the game code, not the save data. My initial vision with this editor was to include a trainer, that could freeze certain values in memory etc. As of know this is not possible with Memoria.

An alternative would be to make a mod that completely removes levels (each enemy gives 0 exp), and customize a savegame with Memoria as a starting point.

Edit: I can't spell, whatever

Hi everyone !

Hi gjoerulv and thank you so much for creating this awesome editor that is compatible with both ePSXe AND Steam saves !

I have an only concern that maybe you can help me with :
As I use the (latest version) editor with my Steam save to add Beatrix to my team (which works just fine), I can't equip her support abilities... even though I activate them in the "Magick Stones" tab, they won't be active ingame, whereas they will be for the other characters... could you please help me with that ?
(On ePSXe I am able to equip her any support abilities I want using a GameShark code with "psx emulation cheater", but obviously I can't do that with a steam save... )

Thank you so much by advance and congrats for the hard work !!!

You should be careful adding Beatrix to your party. There are times that may screw with your entire game (for example unable to progress in Kuja's palace), but as long you know what you're doing it's fine.

Did you try enabling some magic stones on her with Memoria? And it didn't work in-game? I suspect the game adjust certain values regardless of what's in the savefile. I know this is true for stats when changing equipment and levelling up. The game will calculate stats accordingly. A simple save editor like Memoria can't control that, you'd need some sort of trainer (or mod).

I know, but Beatrix is litterally the reason why I still play FFIX to this day... she's been my favorite FF character since I first fought her 17 years ago... (must be her overrall charisma compared to Steiner,  plus that hair flip thing...  8))

Yes I'm aware of that which is why I only intend to include her in my team at times were she won't make the game freeze or anything.
And yes I tried enabling some magic stones on her with Memoria (that's basically what I was saying in my initial message) but though it DOES WORK on my PSX (ePSXe) saves, it DOESN'T WORK with my Steam saves, which is a bummer since we now have 2 awesome mods by Fraggoso (one that give us HD backgrounds and one that gives HD NPCs and battlefields).

THERE IS A BEATRIX MOD available it's called "Alternate Fantasy" but to use it you have to give up on the "HD NPCs and battlefields" mod + she can only join the team at the middle of disc 3 + the mod changes a lot of things/character abilities in the game which make me not interested in it.

Do you think a save editor could do this ?
: change the in-battle skin of a character (and even better both his/her in-battle and out-battle skin) to make him/her appear as another character (in this case Beatrix, but why not... Kuja or even Trance Kuja I don't know lol) ?
For example I know that some FF8 save editor (HYNE I think) allows you to switch some characters' regular outfit to their SEED's outfit and vice-versa... so why not switch his whole skin ?  ;)

For example replacing the skin of Amarant (the ugliest, least relatable, and most useless character ever created in a videogame IMO) by Beatrix's skin ?
This way we would juste have to change the character's name to "Beatrix" using Memoria (or simply speaking to the guy in Daguerreo).

Post by: gjoerulv on 2017-10-27 11:30:53

Do you think a save editor could do this ?
:

What is editable depends on the data that is stored in the save-file. Afaik this wouldn't be possible with Memoria, but I could be wrong (should probably check some time lol). There would typically be a section in the character data that tells the game what skin to use. But, as I said, I don't think FF9 does it this way. Each character has a fixed position within the file, and when the data loads it doesn't check what skin to use for each character. However, Eiko and Blank (also, Marcus + Amarant and Quina + Cinna) shares the same data (kinda) so there could be a byte in her character data, which decides what model to use. Or it's decided by a flag elsewhere.

I swear, someday I'll get more work done with this editor :P. I know It's been long since last update.

I'm kinda feeling dumb, but I can't open the file. There is a "SavedData_www.dat" in the folder, but I can't open it with Memoria, because the program shows no file inside the folder. It seems the extension "dat" is not supported, so I can't see the file trough the program. Tried to modify the extension to a supported one, opened the file with Memoria, and got an error message (not a valid buffer).

What the hell am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Found out. I was using the old version. This is what happens when you think you're too smart to read the instructions and scroll down to the first link you see (yeah, I missed the big "download" link).

It's been a while since I looked up any workaround, but they require a lot of extra work, software and/or hardware:

I copied an answer from one of my emails, it's not for vita but it may give you some clues:

Quote
Hello,

Unfortunately there is no easy way of converting into .PSV format. The way the header is generated is not known (unless you're a sony developer).

The maker of Black Chocobo wrote a guide on how to do it here:

http://sourceforge.net/p/blackchocobo/wiki/FAQ/#psp-and-ps3-saves

This requires some stuff you might not have, but you don't need black chocobo. Thus step 1 in the "The HomeBrew Enabled Ps2" Method will be different.

Step 1 in Memoria: Open the file and right click the block you want to convert. See Block Info and note Product code and Game ID. Now right click the same block and select Export -> Single Save Format. Filetype to export must be RAW Save. Name it as Region Code + Product Code + Game ID (US Region Code is "BA"). If product code is "SLUS-01251" and ID is "00000-00" then export the block as "BASLUS-0125100000-00" (without quotes of course).

The CFW PSP Method:

I may be wrong, but all you seemingly need to do is to change the extension from .mcr to .VM1 then do the rest of the stuff.

Good luck!

So, I fought with this for a couple of hours, and I wanted to post here to just say thank you for making this great tool. The fight was "why aren't any of my edits loading?" And the answer was I kept hitting "Continue" instead of "Load Game" on the menu screen.

I'm not smart, sometimes.

First off I would like to thank you for this mod. A randomizer for my favorite game is just the best. I only just discovered it and I wish I knew about it years ago!

I think feedback is probably too late at this point, but if you are looking for more ideas to implement;

A way to disable AP gain. It would make wearing the right randomized gear very tactical as you cannot permanently learn any abilities.
A permanent VIRUS status effect on all party members could work but that would also disable EXP. A VERY tough lvl1 playthrough! :'(

i created an account to say ty for your hard work and to see if this was still being worked on.

Also I am having an issue with saving. for some reason after i apply my changes and go to save it says access to the file is denied. Ive tried running the program as admin and cant figure out why i cant save.

If anyone is still around, can i get some help with this  please.

Not entirely sure if the game is in use by the game while you play, but if you tried save-editing while playing the game, try exiting the game before you do the editing (iirc save-editing should work even if the game runs). Or you could try copy the file to a non-admin location (your documents, or a new folder on the hd) an try it from there. After editing copy it back to its original location.

Hey gjoerulv

I am trying to finish the "Friendly Enemies" task on Disk 4. I have one early friendly monster that I have to find before I get Yan on Bile Island. However the appearance rate is very low on Disk 4 for the Friendly Monsters. I think it is Ladybug that I need but I am not entirely sure. So I would like the ability to know my status in this quest within Memoria. At the very least, I would like to know which addresses are associated with this quest (if you have figured that out).

BTW I am using epsxe with a playstation set of disks.

If you need more saves I can provide mine that is exported via checkpoint homebrew app.

I compared both the Steam save and Switch save. They have different file size.



Steam save:
SavedData_ww.dat - 2,869 KB

Switch save:

I believe switch save via checkpoint is exported by each save slot

DATA_SLOT0_FILE0 - 42 KB



My goal is to switch between PC and Switch version. Play the switch version while I'm commuting. Play the steam version at home with the memoria mod.

These files are pure json objects as far as I can tell. Editing is very simple, but converting would take some work. Json editor online here: https://jsoneditoronline.org/

Feature request:
Friendly Monster encounters (Steam version).

Don't even need the ability to edit them just to see which we've encountered, and which we haven't.

I found this info on a different forum, not sure if this will help you find the bits to edit or not:
Quote
The data is stored in your save files, which is usually in your "Documents/Square Enix/Final Fantasy IX" folder (it's not the game's folder). It's a .sav file.

But it's not very easy to grasp that information...
The file is compressed. Once uncompressed, it's a Json file with different fields. The field "gEventGlobal" is a snapshot of the different important variables (those that are saved in save files at least). "gEventGlobal" consists of 2048 bytes. The Friendly Monster flags are the 194th byte.

The Summon flags are the 207th byte, so if you know where it is (through "on the fly" RAM viewer, like CheatEngine), the Friendly Monster flags are a bit before that.

I would be you, I would try to find the others first. 100% certainty is hardly a thing unfortunatly ^^'
On my game, my save is a .dat file, and I don't know how to uncompress it to json form to try and check manually...

There were plans to make them changeable, ie actually make Quina -> Cinna, but I never found the data for it. As a placeholder I had the "display as..." which does exactly what it says. The thing is that these characters share the same slots, the same data, within the saves.

@edable Hopefully, someday, I can actually work on this again. It's not that I don't want to, but I work all week 8+ hours a day with programming, so the 1st thing I do when I'm off work is not more programming haha. But I do the occasional update. </excuse>

Oh, no worries; personal lives come before personal projects. ;) I'm still gonna be trying to figure something out myself though, as my current playthrough's at kinda a standstill until I find what one I'm missing...

Do you know how I can decrypt the .dat file to it's .json form? There was a steam version save decrypter earlier in the thread (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=11494.msg239941#msg239941), but it didn't exactly give me .json formatted results... Just getting it to json form should be enough for me to find the info I need, given the info in the quote I posted.

You can export/import decrypted formats with memoria too. As exactly how it's done, or if the data is compressed as well, I have to take a look.

Edit: That is, you get the same decrypted file as the one you linked too by right clicking a save and export it.

That... doesn't look like json to me.... and that online json editor you linked to a few pasts back agrees...

Guess it's time for a second run of an hour at each location the friendly monsters show up at, only to have none of them show up, and Yan tell me I need to find the others....

No it's not json in those files. I just specified that you can extract the decrypted file directly from memoria. I know they use json format somewhere in the process, if I'm not mistaken, but, as I said, I'll have to look into it.

So i cant edit the bonus attributes in steam version (Something about 2016 version), but i can still edit the levels back to 1, does that mean the bonus points also restart ? The ones you gain when you level up throug your equipment.

Is there a way to edit the bonus attributes ? Or its something will happen on future updates ?

Hi, I just want to say thanks for making such an amazing program.

I have run into an issue. So I'm trying to edit a save from the IOS version.

I use iCloud to transfer my save to an old iphone.
From there I extract the save off the old iphone onto my PC using iexplorer (as well as a number of other programs).
I edit the file, save, transfer it back to the old iphone, everything seems great.
I then test the save on my old iphone and its as if nothing has been edited.
I've even tried extracting again and all my edits are there, its just when I load it on my iphone its still unedited, I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong, any help?

Anyone have any luck using Memoria for PS4 save files? For the life of me, I can't get memoria to recognize it. (formatting looks like straight JSON) Any tips?

In case anyone wants to take a stab at it, I have 2 save files here, both at the very first save spot, one un-altered and the other modified with the cheats built-in to Save Wizard for PS4 (max)
(Cheats enabled: max stats for all characters, All items, 100 dragons killed, 100 frogs captured, 99 magic stones, 100 successful steals, never escaped, never summoned, low game time)
Obviously, I'd rather use memoria over the built-in cheats.

On the IOS thing, I'm not sure what to say. Make sure to select the right file and remember to save. Keep in mid that the preview isn't updated.

I can't remember atm the PS4 format, but if the files are pure Json, they should be super easy to edit with notepad++ or something similar.

I've meant for a while now to take a new look at Memoria again, as there have been some new development, but time won't cooperate. It's on my list for sure.

every one says that the save is on %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY IX\Steam\EncryptedSavedData\
but not for me
i got it and play it from MS store and found the savegame for it.   
the bad thing is  that there is no compatible save editor for it.

at the moment i edit it with notepad what is rly.....

maybe you will find a way to make that save compatible with your editor, what really would be nice.

if you want to take alook on that save, i share it,  if not it is okey to then i stay on my notepad editing skills.

Memoria show that the disc has been changed to disc 3 but when I'm loading the game it still show disc 4 and after loading the save it asks for disc 4.

Just a couple of suggestions for the next update. maybe instead of setting the cards to max 255 per stat.. maybe set it to 220to 230 instead. each wins makes the cards stronger but it seems that getting passed what is supposed to be the real in game max stat of a card if it reaches the value of 255 would reset to 0. at least it will allow you to have that space to play the cards with a modified value.

After several years I finally decided to make an option to set cards to their MAX levels (based on quoted post) instead of simply setting them to 255. Not released yet; looking to do some import/export features updates too.

I've been using this on a steam save, shortly after the theatre ship crashes. The first time I made changes, everything saved fine and dandy, I however was stupid and forgot I was still going to be changing gear around.

This of course reset my stats on Zidane, and of course means it will happen as I adjust gear in game with other characters.

So, I tried editing stats/gear again on the same steam save, but nothing sticks but the level and experience. Has anyone had this same experience, and a fix?

There's a workaround for that though i'm still in the middle of testing it. I did the test at Evil Forest. Using Memoria & equipping Zidane with the best stat raising gear according to KADFC max stat guide. I reset his level everytime he reach level 3 or 4(I save each time before level reset).

To my surprise the stats that you gain through gear stays even after you reset your level. I thought it was a fluke at first but it's not. Leveling up & changing gear would make the game recalculate stats, right? I did both & de equip everything except dagger but extra stats stays.

Currently, i'm testing magic stone growth. It seems even after level reset, at least partial of magic stone increase you gain would still intact. Not confirmed, but i assume you could reach 99 magic stone using level reset method. The in game cheat is much faster though. Just activates it, you get 99 magic stone & it stays even if you reset level(You'll definitely want to reset because that in-game cheat sucks for stats.You'll only get base level 99 stats, no extra.)

Hello! Is it possible to convert .mcr save file (psx ps1) to .dat file (steam ver)?
Title: Re: [PC] Save editor - Memoria (0.6.3.1)
Post by: gjoerulv on 2021-01-17 18:30:35
A 100% conversion can't be made until the entire psx save is mapped. As far as I know it, isn't.
It would be fairly easy to make certain sections, let's say character data, transferable though.

Just curious, but is there any way to edit saves for the Windows Store/Xbox saves? Did a deep dive but found nothing besides steam editors as far as PC goes.

Not at all knowledgeable on coding but was curious if thats an aspect youre interested in

edit: Regardless thanks for the work on this. Used this and Hyne for FF8 years ago for multiple consoles and was amazed its still being supported

Oh 9 is out on Xbox lol. Don't think I knew that.
I suspect that one would be similar to the steam format.
Perhaps it's possible to save on cloud and download it to the steam version? Then it should be easy to use memoria.

Anyway I would need an example of a save file to know. I'll see if I can find one.

@faospark putting it on github seems like a good idea. There aren't many unreleased updates though, only the card thing I mentioned earlier.

Is there a way to edit chocobo-related data, eg which chocographs you have? It looks like the data positions were discussed in the thread literally years ago, but I can't see where they might be editable within Memoria.

Am I just being blind or did they not make it in? If not is there a way (windows steam ff9) to manually edit them? I'm deeply tired of playing hot & cold just for chocograph mining.

Thanks, for you time on this, Memoria is an excellent tool!

I sadly missed Stiltzkin in Burmecia, and wanted to know if there was a to inject the encounter and purchase into my save, without needing to restart. I'd love to hear any ways to do this! I'm now in Treno, about 12 hours in (with a bunch of cool cards, and the 1000 jump roping key item), so I'd hate to have to restart.

Sadly, this isn't possible by memoria atm. If you really want to explore, you can try the hex editor, but your pretty much on your own there. You can also extract/dump the raw savefile.

For some reason, editing does not actually commit the edits. When make sure to hit apply and then actually save (even tried 'save as') but the save is not affected. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I tried it that way after you mentioned it and it still didn't commit the saves to my file. Stats, names, equips, gil, items - nothing I edited was saved.

Hmmm, so basically the editor doesn't work? Can't say I've noticed that, lol. Do you know what version you are using?
Edit: Just to make sure. You actually have to save the file too. The save button in the toolbar, or file -> save.

No, I don't think it ever worked on the steam version. I might be wrong.
There was a rather huge bug in the 1st releases after the steam version. I wouldn't use them, as they could break your game.

Hello everyone,

I have a question about editing the Chocobo hot and cold tab.  This is currently disabled.  How can I enable it?  I play on the steam version with the Moguri mod installed.  It's really great to be able to edit the save file using the Memoria save editor while running a true mod like Moguri.  The file extension is a .dat file, in case that matters.  Thank you!

Hello gjoerulv,

Did you plan on adding the Treasure Chests and other pickable items?

I know I asked you about it, years ago, and started working on finding them but I never went through with it (pages 2&3 of this very thread). Well, I didn't know back then, but the list was already made by Terence a long time ago:

@aladore384 cool, cool. Seems like a lot of punching job though, and probably requires a lot of testing too. Don't expect anything anytime soon, though.
@Tetra That is probably a good idea.

Any chance you can make the save editor compatible to newer version of ffix with Memoria mod ?
Newer version of memoria generates a slot file containing data fir Kuja . Lani, Frately separate from the main save file .
each dat file contains data of the game you have recently saved and definitely a lot smaller to map
here is how it looks

This editor seems to only partially work for me. Card editing works, but items and character stats don't. I'm using the Moguri mod, so maybe that's why? The strange thing is that the changes still save and show when viewing the save file in the editor, but they don't once you're in-game.

As the @faospark friend just above said, is there a possibility to update the Save Editor? I tested it here and many options no longer work. For example the options of all items does not work anymore.

Any update forecast?
Title: Re: [PC] Save editor - Memoria (0.6.3.1)
Post by: Tirlititi on 2023-01-07 14:01:17
I confirm that those issues are produced by the fact Memoria now uses a custom save file on top of the normal save file: there is no problem in reading datas for the save editor but the update of the datas is done only in the normal save file and not in the custom one. That is why the changes are not taken into account in-game.

As faospark showed, the normal save file "SavedData_ww.dat" is still there (it contains all the normal save slots), and additionally there is one custom save file for each save slot (+ the auto-save). This custom save file is similar to the normal save file but doesn't contain all the datas (for example it contains a registry "40000_Common" but it doesn't contain "30000_MiniGame", at least not yet). There also are a couple of differences for taking care of the features added by Memoria.

As always, the source file JsonParser (https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria/blob/main/Assembly-CSharp/Global/JsonParser.cs) defines the save file format. I'm here in any case to answer questions if you need, gjoerulv.
Title: Re: [PC] Save editor - Memoria (0.6.3.1)
Post by: gjoerulv on 2023-01-12 10:22:17
Ye, Memoria assumes it's a "normal" save file and is based on absolute positions inside the files. This works fine for the PS1 save map. But the "quick-fix" for the re-release is just an update of indexes, basically, so any "custom-made" additions to the structure will naturally break it. Saving might be dangerous for mods, as it still changes the bytes at the absolute positions.

As-is, Memoria is not very user-friendly for mods.

Completely forgot about the GitHub. I'll see if I can make one.

Hello,
I'm trying to port my old PSX save to the Switch/Steam. I've opened my .mcr in memoria and exported the single save file. I then opened a Steam Save and tried to import the save but it says "wrong file size".

Is there any way to "convert" an old psx to steam/switch?
