Ludwig Von Cookie Koopa Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I choose to put this here since this would apply to many other obsticles and tasks.I use a game/program copier. A device that allows you to backup and play backups of various game programs. It creates save files in the size of 32KB but never 2kb or 8kb or any other size. I need a program that will change a 2kb or whatever file into a 32kb file size so that I can load my saves I use on my computer.The funny thing is the emulator I use will load the 32kb file and automatically change it to 2kb or whatever apply to the sav file size. However the copier refuse to load file unless it is 32kb but more importantly a 32kb sav file it can read. I heard there is software for this.

aadipa Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 A simple hex editor will do the job.I prefer HxD for the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Von Cookie Koopa Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 now how do I use it to make the file bigger without damage the file??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegafferazzasatz Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 just pad out the end of the file to 32KB with 00 values Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 maybe there is a way you can just tell the emulator to not "trim" the file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn9999 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) This is incredibly strange to me. Is there a bug in the emulator that only reads files in 32K chunks? That's what it's sounding like. A simple error to correct too. In the meantime, will this help? Edited January 9, 2008 by Glenn9999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Von Cookie Koopa Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) The emulators znes and snes9x both reduce the file size of the save file size from 32kb to 8kb or even 2kb. The 32kb file is the memory from the copier itself that I put on the HD.The problem is that after the file size is changed, converted, or whatever I am unable to load that same now whatever size file to the copier. The copier will only read a file that has not been altared that originally came from it.I just want to continue my game from where I left off on the computer but on my SNES. I can load the game but not any saves from the computer that was played via emulator.I tried padding the file and using that other program BEXPAND but I still get the same error.ERROR: No ProgramIt is like the file is in a completely diffrent format. That is what I am guessing. I still don't understand what changes in the file when I load it to or from a emulator???
