Full implementation of the 2016 FF9 save system. Allows you to read, write, and edit any 2016 save.
This library also has a command line utility if you just want to convert your saves between json and binary format.
- Encrypted Save file used in the PC version
- Json save file used in the Switch version
- PS1 save file
- original PC save file
Back up your save files before using this converter. I can't be 100% certain all save files will convert properly.
Converting to switch saves is lossy. Some information is not carried over to the switch save files since it doesn't include those fields.
Here are the list of fields not carried over:
- Auto Login
- System Achievement Statuses
- Screen Rotation
The command line utility will initialize these fields with default values.
If this tool generates a corrupted save file please report it. Please submit an issue on github including:
- What is corrupted in the game
- Attaching both save files original and generated
- What direction you where converting switch to pc or pc to switch
After downloading the application you will need to run it from the command prompt or terminal depending on your OS.
To use this application will ether need the PC save file located at
AppData\LocalLow\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY IX\Steam\EncryptedSavedData\SavedData_ww.dat
or a switch save which can be dumped using homebrew like checkpoint.
