I recently got FF7 8 and 9 on my vita (legit firmware, no hacks) and Blackchocobo will edit the save for 7 with zero issues, however when I save it says its unsigned. any information ive been finding on this topic is nearly 7 years old and I have yet to see any workarounds or otherwise for Vita

The only way based on my research that I can go around this issue is with a ps2 which I don't have, nor do I have a psp.

That is not a question, and you are correct in that you need to use one of the old methods. This applies to ps3 psp and psvita. There is nothing i can do untill the methods are reversed and the keys discovered . (for instance were fairly sure the ps3 method is correct but the keys used are still not known)
 
First off be sure your using the newest release of black chocobo. If you are using the newest version and are still having problems please provide me with a copy of the save file you are having problems with and i will see what i can do for you.

It is indeed the newest version. I don't know how do I send you  copy of the save tho ':)

I learned 2 days ago that Steamhad FF VIIin store so I bought it and played a new game from there, I'm now further ahead than my bugged save. If it can help somebody else tho I'Ll be glad to send you that save,

the ps3/psp method, is it possible to do the same steps with a vita in place of the psp or does it HAVE to be a psp?

like could I transfer the edited save to my cfw ps3, test run it, then transfer it to my vita?

I don't see why not the ps3 will allow you to copy the saves to the vita.
 
I honestly can't recall if Mega All materia was working fine before, but...   Prior to crossing the marsh with the Midgar Golem I added Sephiroth to my party, killed the Golem, decided I didn't like his auto-attacks, and promptly decided to switch him back out.  Now equipping Mega All changes my default attack into Attack all.  Anyone else encounter this issue?
 
mega all should change your attack to slash all  (attack all)  it adds all to every action.....

@traksor upload it somewhere or email it to my email address.
 
Hi sithlord48,

First, props to a software well done. IMO, it's the best save game editor.

I would like to ask if there is a solution to fix the Aeris' Ghost glitch problem for save game files.

In a normal gameplay, the player should see Aeris' ghost tending to the flowers when returning to Midgar after Cloud is saved from Mideel. However, this event may not occur if a glitch is triggered.

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Aeris's_ghost#Triggering
The event can never occur if the player talks to the Innkeeper during the Kalm flashback and selects the option "Let me know the situation of the town." after talking to him a second time. It is unknown why this stops the event from occurring since it is unrelated to Aeris and the church. That the event can be prevented by talking to the Innkeeper is likely a programming error.

I have a save game file that may have caught this glitch and Aeris' ghost never appeared. I remembered I let Cloud talked to the Innkeeper during the Kalm flashback a few times, including having selected all options.

Since Aeris tending to flowers is an one-time event, so I assume there is a switch somewhere?

FYI, if you need it, I have two save game files that I can upload and may be useful to you in fixing this issue. One is before entering Kalm for the first time. The other is before returning to Midgar for the first time after Cloud is saved from Mideel.


Thank you.
 
its possible that there is a switch for it.. there are quite a few bits that are nto figured out and most of them are in progression.. if you can find the resposible bit i will test and add but i don't have time for that kind of RE work right now. Im way to busy with other projects
 
One of the "switches" is an error. A bit is conflicting. I corrected it ages ago for The Reunion.
 
there is quite a bit of that,  switches that are changed by completely unrelated stuff changing them because reasons.
 
Hi,

Sorry to bring up an old topic but I am having issues loading PSX saves from my PS3 into Black Chocobo so I can convert them to PC Steam Edition.
Find below a link to the saves:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o3jk9utfip8npbg/AABO3IwDEGJbyfTWjRPD2VZOa?dl=0

When I try and load them I just get an program stopped responding error and BC closes.

I saw a similar issue above and advised to link the files so here they are above. Hope you can help!
Thanks!
 
Please check that you have the newest version of black chocobo. Your saves work here correctly and i was able to import the all into one file with out issue. I cna't make you a steam folder you ahve to do that yoru self.

first open black chocobo then use file->import to current slot . and pick your first psv file.
then hit alt + right (move slot #2) and import your next psv
do the same for how ever many psv files your have
Save as PC format. save it whereever
then use file-> create cloud save folder . select your save path . it should pick out your id for you (its the numbers after user_ in your save path) then for file 1 select the pc file you just made.

I'm sorry for thread necromancy, but I'm having some trouble with Black Chocobo and the Steam version of FF7. I can locate the save files and edit them fine; however, when I try to run the game after editing, all I get is a black screen and I need to kill the program. I am using BC 1.9.9 and FF7 version 1.0.9 (no cloud saving). I've dug around, but what I've found doesn't seem to relate to what I'm experiencing. If it matters, I'm trying to rename a character to correct a typo I made and change the number of greens I have to catch chocobos (I did manage to move past the Zolom portion of the game, but for breeding this would be helpful).

Thank-you for your time!
 
Its possible that if you changed your progression vaules you mised one or set something incorrectly . The game is very sensitive to unexpected data when loading. Sometimes if you save on a field where you shouldn't loading backup will not work out well. Name changes for characters and item changes should not cause the game to hang if that is all you did please wait longer for the game to load (if your saved on the world it sometimes seams to take longer to load ) and if that is still not working please upload a copy of your save and I will test it to see if i can find anything. I have seen one case on the psx copy where the save freezes the game but doesn't do it on other releases of the game.This could be a similar thing for the pc version.
 
Thank-you for taking a peek!

I have created a dummy save (save09) that I've tried editing multiple ways but to no avail. The issue I'm encountering is that I didn't notice that I tweaked Red XIII's name (XII != XIII). What I encounter is that after I open up the save with BC, navigate to the character, change the name, and save. Then I have tried to run the game from the already open launcher and have tried closing the launcher prior to editing, then re-opening after editing. I've also tried running the game from the file folder, but any way I attempt it, all I get is a black screen (or window if not using full screen) that will eventually register as "not responding." https://www.dropbox.com/s/aka6so26cirnna7/save09.ff7?dl=0
