Gods Eater Burst Broken Savegames

[Daykod]

Getting a weird error when loading my saves created on my actual PSP and it won't actually load them. It just goes back to the main menu whenever I try to load a save that wasn't created in ppsspp. They definitely work on my PSP though. Took a screenshot of the log right as it went back into the main menu. It's a bit noisy because of the atrac spam.

IIRC PPSSPP has never loaded saves for this game created by a real PSP. As for why, my money's on missing sceJPEG stuff, but I could be wrong.

Hmm, it says "hash broken". It might've hashed the save with your PSP's nickname or the PSID.

Does the save in question work on any PSP, e.g. not just yours?

@suleks Could you upload the save to a site like mediafire? I'd like to test something.

[Daykod]

I don't have another PSP on hand to test. It might be worth noting that the DLC didn't load when I copied it to the PPSSPP's memstick either. Something about a character mismatch. I dunno why it loads the saves made in ppsspp though. It's still writing a JPEG for the avatar because the avatar loads on the real PSP.

Here's a link to the saves if you'd wanna check them out.

EDIT 1
Here's the last part of the log when loading a save game made in PPSSPP sort of successfully with the dlc

You may have to copy the files from PSP/LICENSE (or whereever, I forget) to the PPSSPP memstick/ directory as well for the DLC.

Copying PSP/LICENSE didn't seem to do much.

[unknownbrackets]

Dunno then, see #1916. Maybe there's DLC files you also need to copy.

I figured it might be related if there's some kind of DRM thing going on. Anyway I just double checked the savegames and the one created on PPSSPP actually doesn't have an avatar loading on my real PSP. So it might be the JPEG breaking it like @thedax mentioned.

[thedax]

Does the save created by PPSSPP actually load and go in-game on your PSP? Also, if you then save the game on your PSP and re-load it in PPSSPP, does it kick you back to the main menu?

[Daykod]

Yeah, the PPSSPP game save loads on the real PSP. Saving after loading it onto the PSP did seem to break it. Now it behaves like the real PSP savegames. The same error message about hash broken appears in the log

[thedax]

I just did a test and yes, savedata are indeed transferable between real PSPs. Is it safe to say then that the game may be hashing the avatar image created by scejpeg?

I just tested the save games available on gamefaqs which I assume were made with a real psp and they worked correctly so I am not sure that is it. However with that said one file I noticed that was present inside the gamefaqs saves and not present in any other is a file named C00.bin.

[Daykod]

Well I can't explain this. They did actually load in ppsspp and they have avatars. What's even in these save files?

[Daykod]

Still dunno what's up with this save file. I'm checking out the one with just C00.bin and it seems to be edited. Has stupid amount of money with top end gear without having any missions clear. Removing C00.bin causes the game on ppsspp to read it as corrupted but it "recovers" it and works fine afterwards. It doesn't rewrite C00.bin to the memstick. I tried it with my real PSP and ppsspp. I didn't see the bin get touched in the log though. As for the dlc, it seems it's generating a key and using it to find a file in PSP/LICENSE. It generated a couple and none of them matched the one I have for it. Wonder if the CFW i'm using on my real PSP is doing something with that.

[Daykod]

Just to make sure nothing weird was going on, I loaded up the disc for GEB without CFW and didn't change any of the save files I already head. Created a new one to test it too. Still dunno whats up with those extra bin files.
