hey Sithlord48,
I got a problem and dunno where to start and end it truely, so let me begin with this :
First of all, I'm german, if u know somebody who is german who can also help there, please let me know, besides that, I try my best at english, even in this, even for me, very complicated stuff about editing data and so on.
My problem started as I found out that there are.. more minor problems when I played FF7. The next thing that I need to do is getting the KEY STONE from Dio in Gold Saucer and then the Date Scene comes along. I followed a guide, for getting either Aerith/Aeris or Yuffie (where, in 2013, I said to myself that I don't care whom of both I would get, sadly another problem hit the road) and now I wanted to check if I followed my guide and my lil piece of paper with the affection points correctly. SADLY my guide lead me into Aeris instead of Yuffie. Now, I dunno why, but I wanted to date Yuffie over Aerith (still keeping the extra saves to see the Aerith date scene also) but, as it seems that way, Yuffie can get only 43 AP (affection points, too lazy to write it full out) and, as I noticed, my old piece of paper with the original AP from all dateable ones, has been gone (maybe the last time I cleared up and I was too... ignorant? arrogant? I was selfproclaimed sure that I WILL date Yuffie since a guide told me I could get MANY (due to a bug when meeting the mysterious ninja) AP as I wanted so I pushed Yuffie over 70(!) points, so I thought at least.) I then read about more guides about what I did wrong and most guides, even the "most perfect I read" from gameFAQ and even the finalfantasy wiki told me that this act with meeting Yuffie and doing the first 4 correct answers can get me (as long as I'm choosing one wrong answer) infinity points for herself, but, it seems it doesn't work. Now I have done over 40 hours of gameplay, grinding some materia before going to Wutai and get my materia stolen, having my score early in the junon minigame which WAS hard to me (back then) to get the most amount out of it (just for myself, yet still, I dont wana do this or this speed square HELL minigame again with getting 5000 points for Aerith parasol weapon, which is rather useless, but in trying to get 100%, I wanted it badly), but to coming into point : I actually don't wanna restart my whole FF7 states again (made multiple if something happens, but the earliest is outside of midgar, where most points have been already given to Tifa, Barret & Aerith), so I looked up if I can get, so I heard, savestates from the PC or PSX version to get modified, just to get and shown how much AP has been given to Aerith and Yuffie. Then, today, I stumbled on this side, founding out that I can modify my savestate, unfortunatly, I got a ps3 so I was unsure if I can modify THAT savestate too (but since the ps3 one is the PSX one actually, I thought there is still hope left to save eevrything). I downlaoded the Windows version and installed, everything ok so far. Then I tried to get, per usb-stick, one of my FF7 states to the Black Chocobo save editor thing AND it works
I was so happy that I could modify everything, but I must get hold of myself, to not cheat me anything I actually don't want like infinity amount of money, BP for the Battle Square and so on, so I found out that my Aerith has got 61 AP, Tifa 58, Yuffie 43 (so the numbers of hours trying to get her in junon forest and to repeat at least 5 times the progress of getting AP for her was pointless and wasted...) and Barret 18. I also read in a guide, that over 120 points in Tifa & Aeris, some dialouges will change, so I wanted to give Yuffie (to be sure this time) 200 AP, Aerith 150, Tifa, 140 & Barret 135. I also wanted to add the Whip for Cid, since u can do this Shit Square minigame again in CD2 to get another weapon, even if optional, but it better be this way instead of raging about this mosntrous imo nearly unbeatable minigame x_x . After everything I checked, everything I wanted to add and so on, I wanted to save...
Strange, it didn't work, my PSV data is still unchanged, and it also mentioned some... key & seed for the PS3, what does that mean? I looked up the FAQ to this program u have made and it said it is neceassary for somesorta "code" to get it back on my PS3. But I tried to look up the damn list but... what the hell am I supposed to do now D: I know I need to find the keys and the seed but how am I supposed to do that? I never did that, nor did I cheat or transfer any savestate data alot, nor I'm a highly professional... guy who knows about that kind of stuff, and it went way over me once I saw all this amount of numbers and letters and... I dunno what I'm supposed to do, or HOW to find out that stuff, with that, I mean how to find or to find out my key & seed that fits into my (german?) PS3 so I could save the savestate data with the newly added AP for Yuffie & Co.
So... can you help me? Does this whole thing should get rather an extra thread? And is this whole thing saveable, my whole amount of hours I spend tehre (ok40hours arnt that much, yet, its much, and I actually dont wanna waste all that cuz some guide(s) fooled me!!)?
With greetings, Korence
