Request for FFIV Easytype (SNES) / FF1&2 Anniversary (PSP) / FF IV Complete Collection (PSP) Support #19

There are a couple of topics on Gamefaqs with information on where some of the data for FF IV Complete Collection is stored if that helps motivate you to fulfill my request.

FF4 easy type is definitely possible. It would take some effort though, so I probably won’t get to it unless there’s a lot of demand for it.

I looked into the PSP games briefly and sadly I think they are beyond what FF6Tools is capable of.

Is there anything I could possibly do to get you to re-consider supporting the PSP games?

Sadly, no. It’s not that I don’t want to add support for the PSP games. The issue is that the data storage methods used in video games evolved drastically between the SNES era and the PSP era. Without going into too much detail, the framework that FF6Tools is built on is just not compatible with games developed after the SNES era. Even the support for GBA games that FF6Tools currently has is a bit of a stretch. In my opinion, the best way to make an editor tool for the PSP games would be to create something from scratch, and I just don’t have the time to do something like that, sorry.
