FFXI Saves Always Corrupt

[drew648]

I have a new question. I don't get this part of her instructions...

If the decrypted code already starts from 0 then no need to change anything.
However if it starts from 1, 2, 3 or A, B, C etc You may need to enter the
code as
Code:
// Sample code
patch=1,EE,4054E9B8,extended,00460001
patch=1,EE,00630063,extended,00000000
patch=1,EE,40553BDC,extended,00460001
patch=1,EE,10C910C8,extended,00020002
patch=1,EE,005548C0,extended,0000008C
This has been reported working in most cases, apart from this you can also enter codes as
Code:
003FE82C 00000002
103FE830 00000202
203FE834 02020202
entered as
patch=1,EE,003FE82C,byte,00000002
patch=1,EE,003FE82C,short,00000202
patch=1,EE,003FE82C,word,02020202

What should I use if code is CDD62E05 3C3F56BE?
Should it be like this?
"patcher=1,EE,CDD62E05,extended,3C3F56BE"

CDD62E05 3C3F56BE - that code is encrypted, ie useless for pcsx2 before you decrypt it. Search on the site you got it from for the format it's encrypted with and then use omniconvert, you can also use PCSX2CE later to add the formatting automatically, both of those programs can be found here.

Unless you already converted it, then it would be messed up(ie converted badly) and nobody knows how, but you.;p

The original codes are:

P1 press R3 For Normal Speed
69800843 EE63B40F
D4EFF1B2 204D6A27
22 P1 Press R3+R1 For Fast Speed
B2EEE680 9AA4D887
165B683C 677CCB02
23 P1 Press R3+L1 For Super Fast Speed
2F6FC8FE 92EF71F8
C721481D 4F457D84

After they're decrypted [with v.7]:

D056BADC 0000FFFB
1025C7E8 000042D7

D056BADC 0000F7FB
1025C7E8 0000424B

D056BADC 0000FBFB
1025C7E8 000041F7

I don't know if it was wrong for me to put a check on the [v.7] thingy,
but on the GSCentral website, the codes doesn't require a [v.7] for it to work. If I didn't use the [v.7], it'll be like this:

63DB50EF A45A8A00
DE09843A 8C7B3F47

B876A78C 2E7CA937
1C7E9C22 677CCB02

250C215D 92EF71F8
CDD62E05 3C3F56BE

The problem is, I don't know what to use [byte,short,word,extended], and don't know if the first character will be a 0 or the letter/number itself since code has 6 or D at the beginning.

Always use extended and you don't have to change first letter either(in fact it would break the codes).

Code:

//P1 press R3 For Normal Speed    
patch=1,EE,D056BADC,extended,0000FFFB
patch=1,EE,1025C7E8,extended,000042D7
//P1 Press R3+R1 For Fast Speed    
patch=1,EE,D056BADC,extended,0000F7FB
patch=1,EE,1025C7E8,extended,0000424B
//P1 Press R3+L1 For Super Fast Speed    
patch=1,EE,D056BADC,extended,0000FBFB
patch=1,EE,1025C7E8,extended,000041F7

The guide is generally outdated, you'll be better looking at that pcsx2CE thread I linked to which will not only do most job for you, but also is much clearer.

Thanks! I'll try these out. I'll also check the link out from now on.
