[PC] Save editor - Memoria (0.6.3.1)

gjoerulv · Mar 7, 2011

v0.6.3.1 is available. Download below.

Features:

Editing character stat, equipment and abilities.
Change party members, Gil, Items and other party related stuff
Card editing.
Import and export features.
PSX memcard handling. Change region. Copy/paste/delete blocks.
When editing *.dat and/or *.sav keep in mind that this must be considered experimental. BACKUP YOUR FILES!

New in 0.6.3.1:

!ONLY TESTED ON STEAM VERSION!
Fixed a bug on item-editing.
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.
Explanation

Known bugs/issues in newest release:

Exporting/importing blocks makes an undo-redo push even if you did not export/import anything. This does not mean it's unsafe to export/import.
Try to avoid switching to full screen or restore down when editing cards (card tab active). It may cause lag for a while. It's better to do this while another tab is active.
As mentioned in version history, Card and ability (magic stones) editing isn't 100%. Setting passive abilities doesn't seem to register (2016 release only).
Preview of *.dat and *.sav files will not be updated in-game.
Successful thefts editing on 2016 release doesn't seem to work.
Probably more

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).

DOWNLOAD

0.5.1b
0.5b
0.4b
0.3b

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.

nfitc1 · Mar 7, 2011

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

.

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.

gjoerulv · Mar 7, 2011

...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.

@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.

2 gjoerulv: Do you have description to all save data that you found? I working on script dumper now. It can help me a bit.

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.

gjoerulv · Mar 14, 2011

@NFITC1
Yes, I knew that. Thanks for the effort!

I'm trying something new now. Hopefully it'll work.

nfitc1 · Mar 14, 2011

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.

Bosola · Mar 14, 2011

I'll hunt down a copy of IX and get working on that savemap.

gjoerulv · May 8, 2011

Thanks to Zande I was able to make the crc work. I'll release a beta soon!
EDIT: Uploaded a beta!

Ariastrasz · May 17, 2011

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!

eXistenZe · Jun 6, 2011

Nice tool...
Looking forward to this project.

gjoerulv · Jun 8, 2011

Thanks for kind words!

Another beta is available.

sithlord48 · Jun 8, 2011

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.

gjoerulv · Jun 8, 2011

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.

sithlord48 · Jun 9, 2011

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 - 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 - 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-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.
