Nice! ver. 1.0 is out :) Its a great tool, hope to see it get upgraded over time :P.
 
I noticed on your todo list is to convert PC>PSX and vice versa.  There's a program called PSXMemtool that does this quite well and will even do PAL to NTSC.   The most current version is 1.19b.

I'm not sure if there is a source released, but figured I should let you know in case you are good at reverse engineering.

yea i have never gotting that program to work for me...
 
It's worked perfectly for me.   

Wait... aren't you running Linux?   From my experience it works perfectly in Windows
 
PSX Memtools has never worked for me as well. And I have tried it on XP, Vista, and Windows 7. The three computers I have access to. :P.
So, yeah.
 
I'm speaking to you.

Please don't take offence, but all this is a bit beyond your level. Some time ago, I too regularly produced GS-codes, including conditional and looping ones. Consider the following codes for FF7 NTSC:

800707BC 039C
30066B3D 0027
30066B3E 0000
30066B3F 0026
30066B40 004F
30066B41 0052
30066B42 0043
30066B43 0045
30070B55 002C
80070B56 1E23
80070B58 FFFF
30070B61 0000
800F8582 0003
800F8580 0100
D00F8A00 0002
800F8A00 0004
D00F8A00 0005
800F8A00 0006
D00F8A00 0007
800F8A00 0000
D10F8A00 0000
800F8A0C 0000
D00F8A00 0000
800F8A0C 0001
800F858E 00FF
800F85A2 00FF
800F83EF 00AA
D01B1FDE ACA2
801B1FDA 0002
D01B1FDE ACA2
801B1FD8 10C0
80154768 8000

This yields a pallete-swapped Safer Sephiroth with a completely different AI pattern, a Demi-3 like spell named 'G-Force' (a large portion of the above just forces a string, actually). Here's a video:

Back then, I thought my 'haxxoring' was pretty **** hot. Now, it seems to me just ****. If you think the skill ceiling is moonjump and teleport codes, think again. I think you're really going to need to get back to basics on machine-level operations. Practicing low-level programming - perhaps simple IO stuff with C (not ++), and then learning about stacks and registers might be a good introduction.

It certainly did a lot for me.

^^ its cool I'm not taking it offensively ^^ and well yeah i know im just a rookie in these things since well i learned coding looking at Truths and Careeys work on KH-Vids and youtube :P and well then i started learning coding using dumps and stuff and well ASM hacking is more advanced hacking then what i do and well other of my friends from the net XD But thanks for telling me on how i can improve my Skills and also sorry if you felt bad about anything i said ^^

And well till now these were my last codes i worked on...i think ^^"

i just ordered one of those usb memcard adaptors for the ps3 , so once i get it i should be able to do more w/ psv files :), might even be able to do more w/ psx memcards (depending on if i can get it to work w/ my computer or not)..

It's worked perfectly for me.

yes i am thank you, it does run in wine just fine. but it can not convert saves, i have also tried it in my VM with not luck (and have tried it w/ others windows machines.) i will have to look the link u sent. cause i also don't recall it including any dll files
 
Wow your program is the most complete savegame editor for ff7 I've ever seen after Jenova. But can I suggest adding a little tweak?? Its just that Vincent's Death Penalty gets stronger with more enemies killed by him right?? Can you add a feature to also the edit the enemies defeated by each character?? If its not much trouble though. :) Oh and I was curious, what is the level progress in the party tab?? ???

Well thanks for noticeing that its "complete" (i don't think it is at all but then again i prolly know more about whats in the same game). as for your suggestion. there is already a box for kills of each char its called Kills and is located in the party tab (look at the screen shot)

Oh and I was curious, what is the level progress in the party tab?? ???
Click to expand...
he level progress bar is their progress towards the next level (look after a battle it fills..).it is really on there to be complete since editing it doesn't do much of ne thing. the game appears to calculate it "on-the-fly". i really don't know why they bother to save it. or maybe i am going about editing it incorrectly.
 
Oops there is in fact the one that I need. Damn I'm feeling sleepy today. Sorry. :-\ And also for me your editor is already complete but if you add more features it'll be more fun to play with. Thanks for the editor. :)

your most welcome for the editor. enjoy it. and there is much more to be hacked out of the save game. the ultimate goal of black chocobo is to be able to make a save game 100% from nothing for all version of FF7.
 
How is the progress on that? Do you think you can make say 50% of it from scratch right now?
 
Glad to see you still have the time to work on your editor. :) By the way I'd really love to use you're editor to replay some events in the game which I really like to see like Cloud's Flashback with Zack, or is it possible or only the other events??
 
all events should be replayable once i hack out the progression vars.
 
Good job on what I've seen so far, But is there any way to export to PSV or have there not been a crack for the encryption?
anyway good luck on the project.

i will be working on psv creation, i'm still waiting on my ps3 memcard reader.... as far as i know the checksum needs to be cracked. since my tests where i just slip the data in the ps3 will see it but not copy the psv file. you can however currently. copy your psv, export it to psx format , edit it put it on a psx memcard and use the convertor to put it on a ps3.


EDIT/UPDATE:
so i got home and my adapter was waiting for me. you can 100% use a psx memcard to put save data on the ps3. the psv files contain a checksum of 40 bytes , starting at offset 0x09. but for the time being if you can get your data on to a psx memcard you can use the memory card adapter to copy your edited saves to your ps3/psp
