Added to the black chocobo wiki info about the Steam (2026) version

https://github.com/sithlord48/blackchocobo/wiki/PC-Formats#steam-2026

Will add GOG info when i get around to setting that version up

2
All the old game files are in the new release it seams to be wrapped in dotemu so i would think it would be trivial to use the OG version from this install also . (i've not tested yet)

Instant crash on the steam version for me after the first battle at the train station

the game progress tab is not complete just save the switch copy as psp format if you can.. it maybe best to start with a save from the save complation that is close in progress to yours and then modify it from there.

My guess is it will be be just a steam release of the Windows store version of the game (i.e the switch / ps4 / xbox release). I've not used the windows store version (if anyone has saves please send em my way) but the switch version uses a new name for the pc saves instead of being saveXX.ff7 its now ff7savexx. I have heard (but i don't have it to confirm) that the windows store version uses some kinda of hash for the save file names. They are also no longer saved in the FF7 installDir but instead in AppData.  I would suspect they could easily make a way to covert them if they wanted to. Im sure it will take me longer to figure out how they generate the save name hashes than any real "converting" of save data.

My guess of what the new version will contain
 - 3x speed modifier and other baked in cheats that are on the switch version
 - Removal of the SE account needed for cloud sync
 - Use of the save naming convention and paths from from the Window PC release
 - Japanese Text support out of the box

IIRC you can use most mods on the switch version (the only of the new ones i own). the limiting thing being what their baked in driver supports since we don't have a ffnx built for switch. Someone out here has to have the windows store version to tell us about modding it. I suspect for windows its mostly the same as this upcoming release.

Hello everyone. Black Chocobo seems like a great tool. Does anyone know if it internally marks PlayStation .mcd save files in any way? In other words, if I were manually editing a save file that had already been edited by Black Chocobo, would I be able to see any  indication that the save had been previously edited?

Why are you asking ?

8
Yes you can enable the full range of items and materia in the setting under editing enable the "Show placeholders in Materia and Items Lists" option. While you will not be able to see the names you will be able to pick the unused ids and add them to your materia / item "inventory"

9
I have done a few adjustments to the code that should fix the crashing and allow you to edit those materia if found in your file

FireWire280 Please try the newest blackchocobo build from https://github.com/sithlord48/blackchocobo/releases/tag/continuous and lmk how it goes.

I'm going to put this here for anyone who has been having issues loading their New Threat 2.0 (my version is 2.099994) saves: download version 1.14.0 of Black Chocobo. For whatever reason, this build does not crash on opening the saves I had issues with on 1.16.0 and 1.15.0(1).

Sithlord48, You can download the save in question for testing here: https://we.tl/t-fIs06jdYVZ

The issue is that new threat creates materia above the value that the game uses (i.e id above 90 ) bc dont' know what todo with that id

11
#1 you can try to edit your achievements and remove them using the achievement editor
#2 you can make try making a new cloud save folder and that should replace your previous one.

Hi there!
Great tool, does it support PS5 save editing now/future?
It will support the PS4 format (also playable on the ps5) when i get around to doing the file support and implementing the decryption parts. (help is welcome i have a draft on the ff7tk repo for some time).  Also Idk that you can copy saves off of  a ps5 anymore.

13
Crashing when opening a New Threat 2.0 save. An earlier save file loads, but my endgame save file crashes the program whenever I try to open it

If you send me your save ill take a look. Depending on what things the mod is changing i might be able to fix it.

14
Is it possible to use this outside of 7th? I'd like to use direct mode if possible

15
Playing ff7 on steam and almost done with the game. Got the final attack materia, and noticed later that my counter materia was erased. Will this program help me get it back?

Would be a pretty shitty save editor if you were not able to.

16
Since its no longer sold Ebay is your best bet.

17
My guess would be the mod.

18
try the newest unstable and see if it works better.

19
Some other info that could be useful
What os ?
what version of makoureactor ?

20
Yes it works, but we can't help you unless you tell us what the error says.

21
1. I lost my submarine. It just isn't on the map. I heard that there is some underwater stuff I'll need it for. Where do I add it?
Not sure we don't have all of the progression stuff worked out
2. After taking last Huge Materia it disappears. Cloud takes it, but I don't have it in my Key Items.
Check the locations where you would pick them up and be sure they are collected ( this is in the location tab)

Is there any way to fix this? Am I just stupid? Please tell me, I just want to finish this game.
Your best bet is to get a save that is close to the progression you want and modify that.

22
So hopefully this isn't too stupid a question.
I lost my save a bit ago and now I'm trying to rebuild it. I am wondering in Game Progress how can I advance the discs to change the settings in Event Progress to show the switch over and select what I need. It just seems to give me selection to Sector 7 Pillar. So I was just curious if it can go beyond, or I just need to kind of get to each point and rebuild it that way? I've run the program normal and as "Administrator" otherwise I'm at a bit of a loss to change those things. Thanks for any help provided.

There is very little done in terms of mapping the progress, you can change the disc number its not related to progress and the main progression variable but we are far from all events with their variables being mapped.

23
Makou Reactor is now also now on flathub


24
Black Chocobo is now available as a  Flatpak from Flathub.
 Steam Deck users should have a much easier time installing now

You need to replace things in the lgp files.
