Load US NTSC Final Fantasy X Gamesaves with ANY FFX version!

**CKemu** · March 11th, 2006

Some Final Fantasy X Saves (Produced by General Plot)

Nachbrenner sent me a PM a few days ago detailing a set of patches he's worked on, these will allow any region version of Final Fantasy X to load gamesaves from the US NTSC version of Final Fantasy X.

TWave · March 11th, 2006

And the bug was only in my Spanish version patch. xDDD

Great, I'll try later

UniverseJDJ · March 12th, 2006

Is it possible for this to occur for other games?

Vefalst · March 12th, 2006

and now... how can i create the patch for FFX spanish?

(sry for my english xD)

**refraction** · March 12th, 2006

read the patch making guide, it tells you there, but you can skip the bit for actually finding the code, just read the bit on CRC etc

Edit: btw updated the spanish patch, thanks nach

Is there something similar for FFX-2, too?

Vefalst · March 12th, 2006

****... now when i load a game from a memory card my screen appear black ¬¬"

**parotaku** · March 12th, 2006

Too bad this only works with the 'international' edition of japanese FFX...

NexXxus · March 13th, 2006

nice !
i'll try it today.
can i use my old german savegames further when i apply this patch?

raksmey1309 · March 13th, 2006

I've been waiting for this.
I hope it works on my International Version.

TWave · March 13th, 2006

Its working for my Spanish version. And quite fine. Thanks Nachbrenner ^^

Now we need a MGS3 patch from the master

yamends · March 13th, 2006

Thanks CKemu,I hope it works with me

**Nachbrenner** · March 22nd, 2006

1)
Patches are for loading and saving!
Actually i recommend that everybody uses american saves, so they can be shared amongst PCSX2 users easily.

2)
The original japanese release has a different program core, hence not compatible.

3)
i messed up address for UK, some mod edit that please:

4)
Following patches for FFX-2:

I don't have any FFX-2 game and sucked patches from a RAM dump.
So all patches tbc!

Great job Nachbrenner!!

PD: It should be useful than it should be in the "Useful Guides" topic. (It's just a suggestion)

Alexej(AUZ) · March 23rd, 2006

Thanks a lot, NAchbrenner...
Finally I can manage to play also FFX-2!!!!!!!!

EDIT: Nachbrenner... please, help me!!!! I have the Italian Version of FFX-2 and with this patch
activated it just tell me that in the memory card there aren't FFX-2 savegames!!!!
It doesn't work... I'm sure that in my memcard file there are lots of FFX-2 Savegames... Even
Italian one!!!
What shell I do???

If the italian save stopped loading, it means the loading path has changed somehow.
Try this american save:

I could also have mixed up the countries.
Try all codes at once
