Extracted save copied back is not working.

[whitezombie2000]

I extracted a Dragon Force 2 save (this game has an English patch applied), ran the python script from Save-Game-Extractor, I did this twice. I have not tried copying any other games yet.

@ubuntu3:~/Save-Game-Extractor$ python3 sgex.py mysave.bin Save Game Extractor (github.com/slinga-homebrew/Save-Game-Extractor)

Errors Corrected: 4 Transmitted Filename: DF2_DATA_01 Transmitted Save Size: 8636 Transmitted MD5: 883bd16501990a5c3cbef12f6f01309d Computed MD5: 883bd16501990a5c3cbef12f6f01309d

MD5 hashes validate, save is correct. Wrote save game DF2_DATA_01 to disk

I compiled a bin+cue with the converted save DF2_DATA_01 twice and used Save-Game-Copier to copy to the internal memory.

This is what it looks like on my cartridge which is where I extracted the save using Save-Game-Extractor.

This what the file looks like that has been copied by Save-Game-Copier.

I go into the game and there is no save file.

I tried Albert Odyssey and have the exact same issue. The save file has been copied to the internal RAM but I can't access it at the in game continue screen.

Here is a screen shot of the compiled file mounted in Daemon tools. I think when the file is being written back to the Saturn it's not adding the _01. Maybe that's the issue?

Can you rename the file to ALBERT_G._01?

[whitezombie2000]

This is the file dumped from a Saturn Gamer's Cartridge and compared with a raw save from the python script.

This is the file dumped from SFF and compared with a raw save from the python script.

SSF adds a 16 byte header IIRC

[whitezombie2000]

I renamed the file to ALBERT_G._01 and recompiled. I copied the save back to the Saturn but it appears to be corrupt showing some garbage in the lower left of the screen. Then freezes when I load it.

[slinga-homebrew]

The md5 hashes are correct?

[slinga-homebrew]

The ones that SGC shows and the md5 from the save

[whitezombie2000]

It looks like the md5 changed after I renamed the file.

[whitezombie2000]

Wait a sec I had the wrong file. Let me try again.

[slinga-homebrew]

Verify the MD5 on your machine and then after SGC copies it to the Saturn.

[whitezombie2000]

Ok I renamed the proper game save file to ALBERT_G._01, recompiled, copied it and it worked.

[slinga-homebrew]

Woot.

[whitezombie2000]

So do all game save files need to renamed manually? Is this an issue when they are dumped?

[slinga-homebrew]

Save Game Copier is still in alpha, need to work on it more. But yeah the files still need to be 8.3.

Thanks for your help! Have a good night!
