Any save wizard search tool for the consumer?

Post by hrtbrkd » Sat Oct 21, 2017 8:19 pm

I see that save wizard allows us to edit the save file in "advance mode" but i would like to see implemented a way we can compare 2 saves of our own creation where we can do a "Greater Than, Less Than, Equal to, Does not Equal to" search on hex values. Something similar to what we used in the old game shark days.

There's a few external tools you can use for this, first being Hydrogen's search tool which you can find here https://www.mediafire.com/file/f8yiqst9 ... Search.zip
(Sorry Hydrogen, tried to find the original link to no avail)

Alternatively and what I do is use HxD. The temporary saves once you decrypt them (open the save in advanced mode) are located in your Temp folder in another folder named SWPS$MAX. You can decrypt the original save, copy it somewhere and open it in HxD, then decrypt the next save and open it in HxD and use the compare feature. You can find HxD here: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

Unfortunately the Save Wizard's built in tools are kinda bare bones, so you make do.

If you need a more in depth tutorial or have any questions lemme know.

This should help
Hexwrite / Converts ASCII to hex
Hexit / Converts hex / decimal
Float converter / Converts Hex / Float
ReverseIt / Converts Little/Big Endian
wxHexEditor / editor, file comparison (a must have)
Dump Comparison tool by CMX (files must be the same size)
