Game Genie Save Editor - Full Guide
Below is a full guide to all the features and functions of the Game Genie Save Editor for PS3.
The Game Genie Save Editor interface
With its built in PS3 save detection and ability to choose between supplied cheats or make your own modification, the Game Genie Save Editor allows you full control of your PS3 saves.
Here’s a brief explanation of the interface and what each function does:
Game List
With no USB drive inserted, all supported games are shown.
With a USB drive inserted, all the detected PS3 saves on the USB drive along with the number of cheats available. Double clicking on the PS3 save will activate Quick Mode and show all the cheats available.
If there is more than one PS3 save available for a particular game, double clicking will show all the PS3 saves for that game.
Any PS3 saves that are not currently supported will be shown at the bottom against a red background. Don’t worry if your PS3 save isn’t currently supported, as we’re working through the hundreds of PS3 games available as quickly as possible!
Right clicking on a supported PS3 save will show the following options:
Quick Mode - See the section Quick Mode for more information.
Advanced Mode - See the section Advanced Mode for more information.
Restore from backup - This allows you to restore from a previous backup of the currently selected PS3 save if one exists. For this to function, the option must be turned on within SETTINGS.
A backup is made before a modification is made in either Quick Mode or Advanced Mode. Each time a modification is made in either of those modes, the save is backed up locally. If, after trying the PS3 save, you wish to revert to the version before you made modifications, then this option will allow you to overwrite the save on the USB drive with that stored on the computer.
NOTE: Only the last backup made can be restored to the USB drive. Any modifications you made to that PS3 save will still be present. For example, if you modify a PS3 save twice and then you restore the PS3 save, the first lot of modifications will still be present.
Delete save - This will delete the currently highlighted PS3 save.
NOTE: Once deleted, the PS3 save cannot be recovered.
Settings
Within settings are options which control how Game Genie Save Editor works.
Backup Save - This option when turned on will backup the PS3 save you wish to modify before any changes are made therefore allowing the PS3 save to be restored. For more information about this feature, see …
Check for updates - Clicking the UPDATE button will check for the latest version of the Game Genie Save Editor software.
Deactivate this software - This allows you to deactivate the software so that it can longer be used on the current computer, ie you’re sending the computer off for repair or are upgrading to a new one. Once deactivated, the software can be installed to another computer.
