There used to be a method.. the saves are signed (mad but true) so what you need is a hex editor and a signature file for the specific strings used in the saves.
I tried and tried at this and never ever made it work.. so I gave up in the end. Google should find the stuff you need.. but I think the guide has long gone along with the site hosting it.
I think the best place to start would be with the existing game mods.. if they use a hacked save that is.. most seem to patch the main game not the saves.
thanks for your response, because i could not find 1 thing on the internet to point me in the right direction. the game i want to hack is Harry Potter & The Chamber Of Secrets. i have successfully made a trainer for this, but because i used a full gamesave(everything unlocked and finished)i couldn't actually get all the spells and stuff. anyway, the reason i told this story is because i found the website http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?s...b2&showforum=48 and they explain how to do it, but only for certain games, and does not show how to do it for any other game.
what my goal is: i want to start off at the beginning with maximum power spells all spells and as additional bits (beans, balloons, stink pellets etc...)
maybe there happens to be a guide on how to hack any save game? if so, can you please send me a link? also, how about trainers? i know that they can freeze values, but can thay change them at the same time? eg. if set to on, it will make the value 500 and freeze it from going down, rather than just stoping it going down and staying there.
no can do.. I'm in the alliance who agree not to give out that information.. we have our reasons. most games were never cracked anyway.. there are no guides and no signature files available now.. and haven't been since we all agreed that cheaters were ruining the live gaming experience for people who just wanted to enjoy playing.. Just play the game why not.. after all that's what it is about isn't it?
All i can give you is what I have already .. that's the lot.. I'm bound by the agreement from years back.
