3. Deep Dive: What’s Actually in the Save (Hex/Offset Level)

On PCSX2, a SW2XL save is about 160–220 KB. Key offsets (approximate, varies by region):

• 0x00–0x0F: Header (Magic number SW2X + region code) Review Overview: The "Instant Legend" Package Verdict: A

• 0x10–0x1F: Checksum (CRC32 of remaining data) — modifying stats without recomputing breaks loading.

• 0x20–0x2F: Game completion flags (bitmask: 0x01 = Story cleared for char 1, etc.) 0x00–0x0F : Header (Magic number SW2X + region code)

• 0x2000–0x4000: Character data blocks (26 playable characters + 4 NPCs)

  • Each block: Level (2 bytes), XP (4 bytes), Skills (16-bit mask), Weapon slots (128 bytes)

• Weapon structure per slot:

  • Base attack power (1 byte)
  • Element (0=Fire, 1=Ice, 2=Lightning, 3=Darkness, 4=Wind)
  • 8 skill slots (each skill ID + level 1–3)
  • Rare weapon flag (4th/5th)

Example User Flow (in plain English):

1. User opens the tool / in-game menu: “Manage Linked Save Data”
2. Tool detects:
   • SW2 save present? ✅
   • SW2XL save present? ✅
   • Link status: Partial (missing 3 characters)
3. Tool suggests: “Load SW2, complete Character Story Mode for Hideyoshi, then relink.”
4. User follows advice → relinks → now XL shows “FULL” unlock status.

Problem 4: Progress Disappears After Unlinking

• Cause: Unlinking removes the link, but the XL save retains Mercenary/Sugoroku data. However, Original Mode progress is temporarily hidden until you re-link.
• Fix: Re-link to the same original save.
