Millenials Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Hello. I would like to change the .SAVE file language in order to provide an Old Sea Map. It seems like the option is greyed out for some reason. I have been unable to locate the hex cell to set it directly. Is it even possible to do this? Thanks.

theSLAYER Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 ? Any reason why you can't ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Sea Map seems to be an exclusive-region event which was only available for Japanese games. My intention is to change the .save file language to Japanese, or make it readable as 'True'.

You can not magically make your save file Japanese if it's sourced from a non-Japanese cartridge. Buy a Japanese cartridge and play that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can run it with a Japanese cartridge though, but it won't change the data block... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSLAYER Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Are you using a non-Japanese save on a Japanese game? Yes, the game runs, but the point is that you shouldn't just *do that*. I suggest you start the a new game in a Japanese Emerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I can run non-Japanese saves on Japanese games, that's why I am asking, since it seems like it should be possible to just change the language byte from 0 to 1, as soon as it is located (which it seems to be, since PKHeX is able to provide its value).

There are potentially other bytes and flag set by different languaged games, hence why it’s not entirely a good idea to change it. However if you must, you can browse the PKHeX code on their GitHub page. As you said, it’s definitely there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
