Japanese Game Saves? #132

Closed alex-free closed 1 year ago

alex-free commented 1 year ago

I know Japanese consoles are not officially supported, but I am trying to figure out how to make such game save files for the Japanese versions of the US/PAL games already supported by the save game exploit files. What is your proccess in adding support for different versions/regions of games? I have tried renaming the files to the Japanese equivelents the Japanese versions expect, but I either get freezing (Crash 2) and or a message "failed to load tonyhax (us)" (THPS2).

I essentially started the game, saved, and played with the savefiles using an hex editor, extending the strings in the files, then loading the game and seeing if that caused a crash. And once you've found a crash, then find what's causing it and how to take advantage of it.

I'm closing this since there's nothing to fix and it triggers my OCD to have such issues open, but feel free to keep asking if you need help.
