can you provide an ios save so i can look at them myself. iirc they are no different and others have used BC to edit ios saves but i have never accually seen one so they are not "offically" supported.
 
there was an issue with the snowboard times (fixed for next release) but everything else should be correct..

** (some of the chocobo stats are /10 when shown in game.)
 
I just double checked they are stored and read correctly in the WIP version ( 1.9.90) you can build this version yourself from github (code is here http://github.com/sithlord48/blackchocobo) or you can wait for us to release the newest version when we have finished our goals for release.

edit checked in game
speed square  is correct
G-bike is correct
snowboard is correct...
no time for the sub now.

if you don't change it its not changed. when you convert formats all that changes in the file is the header
 
If you don't change it its not changed in the save game. there are a few exceptions i can think of off the top of my head

  • the checksum will always change if you edited your file.
  • if you change your location your field coordinates will be changed.(if you have entered a known location)
  • if you change the progress using the flashback option that changes progression values and in the
    case of some events more stuff to set it up correctly
  • changing location , gil ,playtime , party , party member #1 stats will change the value in the save preview
  • changing play time will change the file description if the save is a psx or a vmc save since playtime is stored here to show in psx memory card manager.
  • for psx/VMC if you change the saves slot you will get a new icon..
a few more might happen, as you can see many of them are expected to happen.
 
Just wanted to stop in and give a positive review and many thanks.

Was able to use the PSP CFW to use an edited save on my PS3.

Just as a side note, I couldn't really find any info on the seed/keys that the new version of BC supports.  Has anyone found a working pair?  I messed with a few of them but to no avail.  Thought it kind of odd that the tool supports them, but no info on any working pair.

Thanks again Sithlord, great tool!

yeah there are alot of pairs to try .. we are using the method that the ps3devs say is used to sign them unfortunately its used for lots of other things so it could be just about any key / seed pair.. when we figure out a working set it will just be hard coded into the program so no one will need to mess around with it again. if you find one let me know .

Hey man, loving the new V, however one discrepancy:
You've removed the PCount and Personality for Chocobos. Whilst this is fairly obsolete info, for me it's crucial, as the Personality plays a big part in the RNG sequence that is used. It's not crucial for these to be in BC, as I can use Cheat Engine (I already have each stat for all stables saved in my Cheat Table, so I can change Personality in real-time), so it's not the end of the world if you don't re-include these, it's just something to bear in mind.

Now, if only Cheat Engine could enlarge their font as you have; small font size is the biggest problem I have with it! Or even have a detachable address window, that would be perfect!
 
Hi...using black chocobo for ff7 and it used to work...but now when I try to add items or update a characters stats it has no effect...using version 1.8 tried latest version as well with same results.
using ePXe emulator. any help appreciated
 
besure you edit the card without the emulator running . or if you edit with it running be sure to reload the memory card.. i have noticed some emulators load the card to ram and ingore external changes..

Personality & PCount haven't been removed from Chocobo Manager, they were just hidden by default. To change this you only need to enable this option:
Options --> More Options --> Chocobo Manager - Show Pcount / Personality

That's all, regards!
