View Full Version : Complete game saves

I tried to insert completed game saves into the memory card file that Dolphin uses and it works! Because these files can make it easier to test certain parts of a game, I decided to share them with all of you. I plan on making more for other games later.

How to use

In your Dolphin folder, there should be a folder called 'Data'. In that folder, there is a file called 'memcard_a.raw'. Replace that file with the file in the RAR you downloaded.

List
*All made by me (Sintendo) unless stated*

Harvest Moon - A Wonderful Life [GYWE and GYWP](hamoawl.rar)*made by raksmey1309*
IKARUGA [GIKP and GIKE](ikaruga.rar)
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! [GM4P and GM4E](mkddpal.rar)
Paper Mario - The Thousand-Year Door [G8ME and G8MP](paperma2.rar)*made by raksmey1309*
Sonic Adventure DX -Director's Cut- [GXSP and GXSE](sadx.rar)
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle [GSNP and GSNE](sa2b.rar)
Super Mario Sunshine [GMSP and GMSE](sms.rar)*made by raksmey1309*
Super Smash Bros Melee [GALE](ssbmusa.rar)
Super Smash Bros Melee [GALP](ssbmpal.rar)
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLP and GZLE](zeldatww.rar)*made by cooliscool*

Hex Workshop. I put the content of a game save at the right spot in the memory file Dolphin uses. I'll do some more for other games later tonight (probably the PAL version of Zelda The Wind Waker).

Anyway, added a memory card file. Check the first post.

By the way, since I do not have access to every game I might need help. I'll write down what exactly you need to do to help me later.

wow this awesome thanx man would be cool have more then one game save keep up good work.

cooliscool
December 16th, 2005, 05:56
It reads the save data from offset 0000A000 in the file. Just inject any save data from, for example, a .gci file at that point, and you're good to go.

Coco
December 16th, 2005, 06:13
Really? Hmmm, i asked about doing this before and was told header information would have to be changed to make that work. http://www.emutalk.net/dolphin/31046-wind-waker-saved-game.html

Looks like CKemu gave me some bad info.

Maybe someone can make a save editor:whistling (like the vmsbrowser for Chankast), it's esier to replace save file than hex workshop method.
I try to make savegame for Zelda (US and Euro) but i have a data corrupted everytime:crazy:
30070
I deleted the originals lines of zelda save in the memcard.raw and i replace it with my *.gci zelda save file with hex workshop, maybe it's not the good method.

cooliscool
December 17th, 2005, 23:24
Zelda WW looks at the checksum of the save data, and if incorrect, considers it corrupt. After you inject, you could try using a checksum-fixer on it, but no guarantees..

raksmey1309
December 18th, 2005, 00:37
It would be great if someone have Zelda WW NTSC complete save.;)

cooliscool

Could you post your memory card with a previously saved WW file on it?

December 18th, 2005, 19:48
That save works fine cooliscool. But it's just a save for the start of the game. Were you trying to make one with all items?

cooliscool
December 18th, 2005, 21:17
Yeah, was a test of where to inject though. What's the save name?

Coco
December 18th, 2005, 21:51
Seb is the save name.

It's dated 01/01/2000 and has a play time of 00:03:19

cooliscool
December 18th, 2005, 22:03
Okay, this one should work correctly. At least one of the the save names should be Alex and at Ganon.

Can you make the same think with Luigi's mansion?

cooliscool
December 18th, 2005, 22:24
Can you post me a Dolphin save file with at least one Luigi's Mansion save? If not, I can give it a shot anyway, but it's easier with an example. :)

Glad to know the WW one works.

You're welcome! :happy:

For those of you with the demo from the CE disc, I'm working on it right now. Arena filenames are different and as such the save file needs to be modified to comply to that.

Also on my list of things for tonight, a primitive but functional save editor. :)

No one can.The game will crash when press start.

I discovered that most games can load saves from any region. Super Smash Bros Melee is an exception, because the USA version has some extra thropies that aren't in the PAL version.

Can somebody try the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Mario Kart: Double Dash!! game saves on the USA version, so I can add that to the first post?

Also, I'm having alot of free time for the next three days, so you can expect new game saves...

And to cooliscool, good luck with the tool you made.

December 22nd, 2005, 01:56
Luigi's Mansion is debatable; the US version will crash when you press start at the title screen, while the PAL version will continue running until the end of the game introduction. I haven't heard of the Japanese one being tested however.

Save files are possible for the PAL version. :\

GCFreak
December 22nd, 2005, 05:28
I have the PAL version, not the JAP version.

@raksmey: It says it's a menu problem because the intro is AFTER the menus, not before the menus.

I didn't want to create another thread and clutter the forum so I'll ask this here. Could somebody explain how to transfer saves from a memory card to a PC?There are several ways to do it.

-you use a memory card that can be hooked up to your PC (Max Drive (Pro), USB memory adapter)
-you use a modded Gamecube and a BBA to send the saves to your PC through LAN with homebrew software (ctr-gcs, GCARS)

I found some links for you to buy the USB memory adapter or the Max Drive (Pro). These seem like the best solution for you, since it's way cheaper and easier to use.

Using Cooliscools memory card wont work except for Zelda Windwaker due to it misplace the data where it should write to.

Its nice that you put the Windwaker full save out there, with all the items and all.
But its in the middle of the game.
I dont want to be ungreatful but i realy want to start from the beginning, not in the middle of someone elses game.
After one round is done and you start all over again, there i want to start the game.
Did i say it is Zelda Windwaker i mean...
Is it possible?
