Hackinformer Forum

I would recommend that first you just take a look at the active threads right now. There's a lot of discussion of how to do x thing in y game. That will give you a basic idea of how it works. After that, there are plenty of us here that would be happy to help you. Just keep in mind that the way information is stored changes from game to game, so locating something in one game's save may be vastly easier than another.

GG and SW are just about the same and the idea works for both

hope this helps

Just a few tips to help get you started(I'm assuming you have 0 clue how to hex edit so sorry if this comes off as patronizing!:

Everything in the save data is in hex, so you'll need to learn how to convert for that or just use this handy converter: http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/decim ... -converter

The way this works is, let's say if you were looking for your money in some random game, and you had 6500, as opposed to searching for 6500, you'd look for 1964 instead as that's what 6500 is in hex.

Second thing to note is ps4 save data is in little endian meaning that everything is flipped. So when it comes to creating codes, or just basic editing in general, you have to flip it. You can read more up on this here: https://www.hhdsoftware.com/doc/hex-edi ... order.html

Third thing to note is that some values are just flat out not editable. In more recent years games have put strict integrity checks into their games to enforce values that flat out can't be edited. These are usually find in values relating to your characters level in a rpg (Kingdom Heart 2.8 with Aqua's stat, FFXV with Noctis.') So when you go in an edit certain things, just because it didn't change, doesn't necessarily mean you're doing anything wrong, so don't get frustrated!

Another quick tip is to go install HxD which you can find here: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
The save wizard program its self is rather unintuitive when it comes for actually searching for values (also note you can't do any actual editing in this program.)

The last thing to note is: don't get frustrated! Take your time, and try not to get overwhelmed. There's a lot of numbers inside save data so if you just start looking through it, it seems rather daunting. Just ask detailed questions and someone is surely to help you!

Hm... not much more I can to all of this. I mean, there is a lot that can talked about it is a lot harder to teach via Forums than it is through something like an instant messenger.

Feel free to follow their advice. There are a lot of good tips there.

You can also send me a PM and I will see if I can help you on an individual level. I learned a thing or two, although I am by no means the best. I am still learning, and will always probably be. If you want to get into modding, then you will understand that pretty well eventually.

Same for anyone else who would like some help learning how to use Advanced Mode and/or writing codes. Just send me a PM, much easier to teach on an individual level compared to the Forum.
