Even in the pc version opening a chest or buying from the shop changes so much info in the save that it’s nearly impossible to decipher where to start. I even tried taking 2 saves from only a few seconds apart one having 5 blueberries the other 8 and I replaced each change one at a time in the 8 Bb save with the info from the 5 bb save trying to pinpoint exactly where it was but I got to a certain point and it corrupted the save. I then tried only replacing 8 bit strings corrupt 16 bit strings corrupt I didn’t try any 4 bit strings though that may be a place to go to next

If you're in advanced mode I have learned that a line of "F4 17 A4 38 38 A4 17 F4 F4 17 A4 38 38 A4 17 F4" means there is nothing there. It is the only constant i could find so that might be a place to start. ATM I am trying to pinpont the areas that the clock effects I feel figuring that out will prob help cut down on variables when looking for anything else. Given that battle trophies have a set state I would assume there has to be other things that do as well.

Something else I have found.
0xA8: Changes the difficulty shown on the load screen (should be F6 for galaxy, f7 for univ and f8 for chaos
0x11C:Changes the actual game difficulty (39 for galaxy, 3A for universe and 3B for Chaos)

I just tried loading a save and saving a few seconds later without moving or doing anything and then saving again the difference in time isnt all that much but it did roll over from 11 minutes to 12 minutes past the hour but when I run a file comparison in HxD it tells me the files are identical. Weird occurence.

I had that happen as well, odd that removing an item changes half the file but time doesn't, even with the counter being part of the save.
I am honestly stumped, still trying but its not going well atm

I have both good and bad news, Good news I think I found where item data is stored in the save, bad news is after i changed it, opening my item menu crashed the game. going to mess with it some more


0x318E0 seems to be where it starts (again could be wrong but it did crash my game on item menu so its progressish)

0x318E0,0x318E4 and 0x318E6. I started a new game, saved, checked the variables and made a backup, loaded the game back up, discarded a blueberry, (giving me 4) saved, changed the variables back to what they were and it took it back up to 5.

Edit: This seems to only be a visual change as it doesn't let me discard and picking up or buying more crashes the game......
Edit2: 0x9510-f and 0x9535 also needed to be changed to stop the game from crashing, now it is fully working
