* A CRC-32 checksum of the decompressed bytes * 0x2, just a value that the Huffman algorithm looks at I guess? I'm no expert on it. * 0x434F4D50, shown as 'PMOC' (backwards 'COMP') in the text column. This is split into four unsigned 32-bit integers: This is only in 'Chapter' saves.ДЄ single row (16 bytes) (starts at offset 0xC0) that denotes the beginning of the compressed bytes. In this screenshot of a compressed 'Chapter' save:ДЄ decompressed 'header' that the game uses to show information on the file select screen. Probably other games use it too, though I can't guarantee that the game you're choosing does! I can speak for the Huffman compression that Fates uses. If you want to see how saves are handled, here are the main files to look at in FEFTwiddler's code: My understanding is that the Huffman compression is quite common and has been around for a while, so there's a chance that if you encounter a game that uses it, you can yank the compression/decompression right from FEFTwiddler and use it in your own program. So depending on the game you choose, this might be something to look out for. Luckily, someone(s) had already figured out what compression the saves use and wrote code to handle the compression and decompression. This is my first time doing a save editor as well, and I have no experience with compression-related code, so I wouldn't have been able to make heads or tails of a compressed save.

That said, there's one piece of knowledge that I wouldn't have been able to figure out on my own, and that's how to compress and decompress saves. The code's on GitHub if you want to see how it works. FEFTwiddler itself is just a fancy hex editor.
