The issue isn't generating the save files with each different possible signature. That could be easily automated. The issue is actually testing them.
Considering all you need to test them is to try and copy them, it wouldn't take THAT long...  maybe?.. With some luck?...If you had all the combos in one USB, even better, yeah?... but... IF I EVER found a file that wasn't "corrupted" and it worked, then how do I even know what key/seed I used for that particular save? Would I have to take special notes about every save or is there a way I could find out afterwards with BC or some other program?


And that's assuming that the key and seed we need are even on those lists.



I guess that serves as a good reason not to waste my time. I was pretty fearful of that already, so thank you for that. Not sure if I'll attempt this so idk why I keep asking questions, but maybe it'll serve as a spark to somebody :|

save the file into the other slot but in the same spot (as it will overwrite the save in that spot, thinking ahead to when you move it to the PS3)

I seriously thank you for the extra little details. I tend to overthink and I get hung up on these little issues sometimes. You've definitely been helpful to me, Codemann.

Trix... This isn't Star Trek - where decryption by a computer system takes one hour for the purposes of advancing the plot in the biased way a bad writer wants.

The real world doesn't work like that.

I must have missed that Star Trek episode. Oh yeah, I never watched any of them lol. More of a CLASSIC Star Wars fan here... Back in the day, that was like confusing me for an N'Sync fan when I was a Backstreet Boys fan... No I'm not gay, I'm a woman.. and yeah, yeah... I get you're joking - if there was an episode like that Star Trek would hate itself. Quite honestly though, your post confused me.

I'll just say that you're ALL making something that already seems impossible actually BE impossible by not helping someone like me (who has the time and patience) help you!!!

Oh and btw, that's why I mentioned making sort of a keygen, Covarr. Only now Idk if things would have to be decrypted before using on a keygen.. idk if I make sense lol.

Well, look at it this way... I'm one of those just crazy enough to even try to understand this so then I can fool with a million keys to drive myself even crazier - I just wanted a bit of guidance. Sure, I could have been like "will someone here just please turn my crap into a .psv" but I wanted to answer the over-a-decade-long question... I guess I'm better off asking for the .psv though... But you're right, I can definitely get the 5000 points twice at the speed square someday. I just didn't really want to memorize the track after a hundred tries or so... Specially when I've already achieved this on my phone by slowing down the framerate lol.. I'm thinking of saying screw all this and play it all over on PS4 so I can cheat with the propeller glitch.... And Sithlord, I definitely think Black Chocobo is pretty genius. I just wish it worked for exporting .psv so I, as well as others, could appreciate all the work that's been put into it... I wasted like 2 hours of my life giving myself items on there, then just "corrupted" my copy so.. yeah, good thing it was just a copy! I didn't wanna be ungrateful and say it sucks because it doesn't, I wanted to help make it better... but it seems like everyone's kinda sleeping on this subject now since there are ways around.

Dude, trust me, I've seen you post that multiple times lol. That's why I was asking in a different manner, so maybe I wouldn't get the same answer as everybody else ;) … I find it hard to believe that nobody's ever found a/the working combo... See, I don't even know if it's more than one that actually works!... Anyway, I thought you had mentioned before (probably years ago) getting the correct combo in a certain version of BC... so, somebody's gotta have it, right? I did a little bit of research so I answered a couple of my own questions, no worries about the algorithm thing at least.... I've already fooled with both sites, that's how I got so confused about keys... I've already tried to decrypt some, but then you need some other secret passwords, keys or whatever besides the IV thing and the algorithm...who knows what else, maybe money and your soul... Honestly I can't even tell if a damn key needs to be decrypted or if it already is... WILL the algorithm aes-128-cbc work to decrypt this like many people have said or is it possible it's something else? Which keys should I be trying to decrypt anyway, the 128 bit ones, I guess? Again, will you help me narrow it down somehow? Which ones can I definitely ignore?... That's about all I can stand to ask because this is getting pretty ridiculous for me.. I need to get back to my real responsibilities lol... Other than that, I could ask if anyone knows of a .psv save at the start of disc 2 or after the highwind - hopefully not much further - with everything you can possibly have by that time of the game including omnislash (if not, I can still get it myself) and the enemy skills I can't get thereafter? NOT with the chocobo stuff done.... Like I said, I'm just after the Umbrella and Flayer from the speed square. I'm exactly at the start of disc 2 but I think the Flayer is only available after the highwind, so if someone edited their game to have it before then, that's fine too as long as it's not extremely edited. My characters aren't super beefed up but they're around levels 45-50 and I also have every limit break you can get by this time of the game... I'd like Aerith to have learned her last limit if nothing else. Oh and I already did the Yuffie / stolen materia thing... but that's not as important as some of the other things. Any kind soul out there with a save like that?  I've read about the PSP method as well, Codemann... Is there a special version or generation of psp I would need? I'm not too familiar with them.  Will the file that it creates play on PS3? If nothing else works, I'll definitely try this :S

Hey Sithlord, I've read your previous posts about what's needed to get a .psv back into the ps3 and I get that you can't simply tell us what the key/seed combo is (even if you knew it you'd probably get in trouble for sharing it, so I understand) Therefore, I'll try to ask the right series of questions… I'm aware that there's other methods for achieving what I want but I don't own anything required to do so, such as a ps2. Black Chocobo is my last resort other than taking someone else's heavily edited saves, which I don't really want. I honestly just want that stupid Umbrella/Parasol and the Flayer weapon because I hate that stupid minigame with a passion... I know that's a small issue but I see that people have been wondering how to do this for almost a decade now. So I'll start with the questions: What does the key actually LOOK like?  What about the seed, too? Like, how many characters long is each one? How is each one spaced out? Better yet, can we just have an ideal example of both - key and seed - that would work for this purpose? I see "keys" that are long, some shorter, some say "key", some say other things, like "iv" and I get confused. Which ones can I ignore? I just want to know that I'm looking for the right thing. Plus, am I supposed to look for this key and seed IN hex or do I TURN them into that? I see "Input in HEX" so I have to ask.  No idea how you'd turn one into hex but I'm just trying to get a clue about what I need to do to figure it out myself. WTH are scrambled keys?! PLEASE enlighten me - what's with "algorithm aes-128-cbc" or "aes-cbc-128"? Is this even useful info? I notice it's been mentioned in multiple sites (shendo's blog first, probably)... What's "SHA"? Will this program called HashTab help me find anything I wanna know? It says it "provides OS extensions to calculate file hashes and supports many hash algorithms such as MD5, SHA1, SHA2, RipeMD, HAVAL, and Whirlpool." Is that EVEN related to this? I know I probably sound like a total dummy, but I'm trying to get more familiar with the dev/programmer language! I'm familiar with code but certainly not this kind, just plain old html... You can probably guess how lost I am. Would it be illegal or something if you made a key generator for this? If not, then that's something I'd DEFINITELY want in the next version. I'd probably even pay you if it got me what I wanted. Like if you took all the keys and seeds known to be at least half-way related and put them in a program so maybe one day we'll get the right combo... Also, when attempting to have BC sign a .psv, should I overwrite a save I KNOW works or should I save as a new file everytime? Also, do I HAVE to have a BASCUS xxxxxxx whatever file or can it be named whatever I want? AND... Is THIS info getting me any closer? -> "This key is also used for signing content of the ISO.BIN.EDAT (decrypted form). The signature is located at the tail of the decrypted ISO.BIN.EDAT, its length is 0x28 bytes." <--  ???.. That confused me even more.. UGH, are the key / seed in their natural state or do we have to decrypt them? Oh and I do NOT understand the bit language, so if you would enlighten me about that as well, I'd appreciate it. Do you have any youtube videos where maybe you teach this stuff and it's not all in word form? Last but not least, are you Shendo too? lol
