Ranch Save File Editing

[RedMoogleXIII]

I'm curious as is there any way to edit the pokemon on My Pokemon Ranch.
You can copy the save to an SD card using Homebrew Channel and Savegame Manager.

I've looked into it before, but doubt it's really worth the effort.

I haven't looked at ranch saves specifically, but when I looked at PBR saves some kind of encryption was placed on the entire block, making it impossible to edit without some debugging. (There is a current and and backup like the main pokemon games.) This was on top of the encryption placed on save files if you use Nintendo-sanctioned ways to get them. Which I suppose is a bit irrelevant in this case because PBR has a no-copy flag...

Yeah, Ranch Saves are similar with the backup/main saves I can't recall but I think it also has an encryption but I think it's similar to the DS block encryptions

Actually after chatting with Kaarosu last week I am giving more serious thought to loading pkms to/from Ranch saves. Not a full fledged save editor, but then again I am not really considering this out of my deep passion for Ranch (sarcasm).

Ranch is actually nice because it gives us a way to access PKM files without requiring the purchase of a flashcart. What I'm on the fence on is if that is really much of a limitation. You can get a good flashcart for <$15, and there is also the inconvenient fact that for what I'm considering to be of any use one would need a Wii, the ability to homebrew it, and probably Diamond/Pearl unless Ranch could be hacked to accept newer games.

The DS saves don't use encryption except for select areas, but I understand what you meant by this.
