Save Editing Guide (Now Updating)

Overview

This guide will describe the steps to modify what items appear in the HQ shops including unused items. Also modify other save data like unlocked items.

Introduction

Shop editing was only made possible when BSG changed it to save the items in the save file instead of being random to avoid resetting for desired items. That was also the reason that compelled me to look into a way around it. I ended up finding an even bigger hole that was formed from fixing the smaller one. Now, you don’t even need to reset and hope you get good items. You can pick the ones you want. Ironic, isn’t it?

There are a number of reasons why you would want to take modify the items that appear in the shops:

Take control over RNG so what you get is up to you.
Unlock specific items and not others to avoid unwanted items from appearing in runs.
Access unused/removed items and weapons.

Getting Started

Before you begin, you will need the following

Your 20XX save file: This is located in Documents20XX. The file is called 20xxalphav64.sav. It is advised that you make a back up of this file somewhere in case you want to undo any changes you make.
A Hex Editor: HxD is recommended.
A Hexadecimal/Decimal Converter: Not required but extremely helpful. One is available here[www.binaryhexconverter.com]
A basic understanding of counting in hexadecimal: See here[www.instructables.com]

To modify the save file:

Open HxD>File>Open>Navigate to save file>Open file

If you would prefer a GUI to toggle unlocks, one is available here:

Offset Locations

Now comes the part where you actually make the changes. Information is stored in the the save file in hexadecimal values. if you want to change one item to another, you need to replace the value in the offset with the corresponding value.

Locations of offsets:

Shops

Next-Run Shop
Unlock Shop

Unlocked Augments

Unlocked Items
Unlocked Weapons

Currency

Soul Chips
Tokens

Datalore

Items
Core Augments
Weapons
Prototypes

Changing amount of Soul Chips/Tokens

To give yourself more (or less) Soul Chips and Tokens, replace the values in the offsets with the hexadecimal equivalent of however many you want. This is where the converter comes in handy.

Editing Unlocked Items/Datalore

Unlocked Items/Weapons

It is important to note that the items and weapons that are unlocked by default cannot be re-locked. This includes Core Augments, and Prototype Augments

The items that are unlocked are determined by the addition of values in the offset range.

For example, if you wanted to just unlock Glass Cannon and XCALBER, you would add 4 + 8 = C so in their spot in the range, you would add: XX CX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX

With the addition of all the values, the offset becomes: D7 E7 FC F1 FD DF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF. This is subject to change if new items are added.

If you wanted to remove Glass Cannon: Second Block, First Digit, Value = 8, you would substract 8 from that location. E – 8 = 6 so it would become D7 67 FC F1 FD DF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF

Nina and Ace’s weapons are stored in the first and second blocks respectively. You can only lock/unlock Wace Beam/Scatterblast and Spinning Glaive/(C)Rippling Axe.

The Addition of all the values is 3E BE 7E.

If you wanted to lock the Axe (I don’t blame you), you would subtract 4 from the Second Block, Second Digit. E – 4 = A so it would be 3E BA 7E.

Datalore

To edit the items unlocked in the Datalore, you would need to add/remove the item’s value from the corresponding offset range.

If you wanted to add Final Shell to the Prototype Datalore, you would add 2 to the corresponding offset so it would become XX X2. The same concept applies for the other Datalore offsets.

With the addition of all values, the corresponding offsets become:

Regular Augments – D3 E6 FC F1 FD DF FF DB FF 7F FF FF FF
Primary Weapons – 3E BE 7E
Core Augments – F0 FF 0F
Prototype Augments – FF FF

Changing items that appear in shops

To change the items that appear in the shop, replace the value in the offset with the one of the desired item. For example, to have a Blue Lander, value = 00 CF, appear in the middle slot, you will change the offset to 00 CF.
