goto chocobo tab, be sure you have at least one stable owned and one stable occupied, then in the first stable change the chocobo's type to gold.

dont' know because you prolly screwed something else up,sephiroth works just fine everytime i have tried to use him. go visit the user manual . and when u find it lacking put some notes here, either myself of eslava will be updating the user manual soon.
 
In the process of finding out every value of the savemap, I'm playing through the game making all the possible combinations. For example, between a save point A and B there are two chests and an item, I make it first taking nothing, then one chest, then another chest and so on until the last save is taking everything.
That way is easier to know which values change what by comparison.
I'm posting here the saves so anyone who wants can lend a hand and start finding out values while I do the playthrough. Right now I'm starting to raid the Shinra HQ.

About the playthrough:
Used blackchocobo to put Cloud at level 99 with max stats so i can go faster.
Changed the text speed.
Changed the key mapping.
Turned the field help on (In some saves its off).
Didn't use hacks (yet) to make saves where the game doesn't let you.
The version of the game is the spanish one so the names of the save locations will appear in spanish

About the information:
Saves in green are completed.
Saves in orange may need a save hack due to long scenes taking place.
Saves written in bold letters are saves corresponding to the main path. Saves inbetween the bold ones are just combinations that don't progress further.
Saves in blue dont follow the linear progression of the game.
Saves in red are mistakes and don't count.

Saves can be downloaded HERE (part 1) and HERE (part 2)
Information about the saves can be found HERE

Any help is appreciated :)

EDIT: Finished Midgar, updated the links with the latest saves.

This File Does Not Have An Updated Checksum.It will not work on your PSP.

Wait for sithlord48 to release a version of Black Chocobo that allows updating the checksum. This is not now. Be patient, it will come out when it will come out.

Short version : Nothing

 the checksum algurithum has to be cracked this applys to both the psp and ps3 saves types. when the respective communites crack those algurithums ill impelment them. untill that happens you can only do this with Custom Firmware (PSP) or using my workaround for the ps3/psp for more info see the FAQ on the Black Chocobo wiki.

On a side Note I have been slowly working on 1.9.3. among the new changes is a diffing system that allows you to compair one slots "unknown vars" to anothers. this might be expanded to allow diffing of types also and/or whole saves. im just unsure if i should release what i have now as 1.9.3 or if i should wait for eslava to finish his project and incorparate his discoveries into 1.9.3 or just save that stuff for 1.9.4 , any thoughts?

btw even if black chocobo cant edit psp saves directly.. its still possible to do by exporting the save on the psp with cwcheat plugin.. (requires custom firmware tho) and editing it then importing back with cwcheat again
 
i just got my ps3. dont know how do anything on it. would like to play ff7 with cheats can some one help me step bye step. or if you know of a video on line that dose it. i read what u guys are say but dont know what it means
 
are you looking for event flags?
Click to expand...
One of the final purposes of Black Chocobo is being able to edit every bit of the save map (it does already but some bytes are unknown yet), so yes that covers looking for event flags, item flags and everything that can be stored in the save file.

read the topic man.. its not possible to edit PS3/PSP saves yet.. even if Black Chocobo can load them it cannot properly save  them duo to checksum.

those saves can be loaded, but they can only be done copied back to the ps3 with the workaround i have provided on the FAQ. but it requires you have a few things like a ps2 that can run homebrew. you can't directly reimport any psv or vmp files that bc saves

f you know of a video on line that dose it.
