A Chocobo World (Final Fantasy VIII minigame) savegame editor for PSX and PC (CHOCORPG file)
Works with "PSXGameEdit single save" (*.mcs) savegames, CHOCORPG and CHOCORPG.ff8 savefiles. I recommend MemcardRex 1.8 by Shendo to handle all PSX save file formats: http://shendosoft.blogspot.com.es/2014/01/memcardrex-18-released.html
Check out this amazing guide (in spanish though): https://baseavalancha.com/2020/03/25/guia-chocobo-world-final-fantasy-viii-by-ortew-lant/
Editing Features:
- Associate Chocobo World savegame to a different Final Fantasy VIII savefile (*).
- Edit current level.
- Edit current weapon.
- Edit # of PowerUps.
- Edit ID, rank and maximum HP (please remember that these three are related between them, so check the table embedded in the program for legit combinations).
- Edit collected item quantity.
- Edit some in-game flags/settings. (**)
- To succesfully associate a Chocobo World save file to another Final Fantasy VIII save file, Boko needs to be away (in the Pocket Station) in both savegames, so make sure your Final Fantasy VIII savegame has sent Boko for a walk. ** Flag 0 and 1 are somewhat unknown. Flag 0 is always set, and flag 1 seems to be the flag for Boko being away (Pocket Station) or home (Final Fantasy VIII). These two are readonly for safety.
Note: the game has two savegames (current save and backup save), the program loads and modifies the most recent one.
