Save file sharing

[d3v]

I've just confirmed that at least for the PS3 version, the save file is not copy locked. This means that at least for the PS3 version, people can simply pass save files around for any unlocked content (characters, costumes, etc.) for tournaments and stuff.

As for the the 360 version, we still need confirmation if this is true for it as well

Aaaaw, yeah. No unlocking shit for tourneys.

I confirm that. I download a save file, with 99.9% of the titles and costumes unlocked...but not all the characters.

Which were missing?

Thats what im saying if the titles are unlocked doesnt that mean the characters are too?

If you guys got anything to share, post a link.

Thinking of putting a bounty up for a full unlock (characters and costumes) save for the PS3.

Wouldn't file sharing mess up the trophies on the PS3? I want all the characters and costumes because I usually have a game night at my place every friday/saturday, all i'm missing are the 3 Legendary costumes and Alpha. But personally would like to try and get all the trophies as well lol.

Some posts were deleted for linking to pirated content.

A 360 save editor requiring a resigning of a save file to any profile is considered modification hack.

Now, if it can be verified that say an offline profile with the proper character unlock method done can be saved to USB and shared through that method, that's a different story.

No idea how save file sharing affects the trophies.

Worst case, you can always create a separate profile on your console for casuals and just load it there.

Aren't saves on the PS3 tied to the profile of the original player?
That is you need to have the same user name.
(Or is this game different?)

I really hope saves are easy to handle like this game (PS3) version.
I backed up my saves in case my PS3 broke.

The save data is for the full system, but don't know for sure if its linked directly to the account, online, and/or offline. If needed I'll check it out when i'm at work in the morning and analyze all the data.

Last I checked, you could share save files freely on the PS3. If a save file was locked, then you wouldn't be able to copy it outright.

EDIT: Some are tied to the PSN ID. So this is something that needs to be tested first.

 

[Katsu Hayami]

I just tested it and it won't work, I tried sending my DOA5 data from my main PS3 with my American account to my two other PS3s. One of my other PS3s is using my Japanese account and the other is using my European account and they both say

"System Data was created or modified by another user. Unable to load the data.
System Data may be restored to default settings during the game. Do you want to proceed?"

EDIT: I also created a new user account(Not online) to see if would work just for offline but the same thing just happened.

I can transfer data from system to system np, just tested with a usb flash drive; looking for a save file with everything unlocked tho

Did you actually test out the game without having to restore the data to default? And are you using different PSN accounts or the same one.

 

[Ayane]

what do u mean test the game out? i xfered the data and got onto the game and saw the new costumes; it was same psn account but they never logged in to psn.

It works fine transferring it from another PS3 to another with the same PSN, but if you try to copy it to a different account it won't work. So even if you find someone with everything unlocked he'll still have a different User name.

To my knowledge when transferring saves it makes you unable to unlock the trophies that have already been unlocked on the save file. Same PSN isn't always needed, but some games do require the same iD.

 

[d3v]

Just tested. DOA5 requires the same ID.

Having to unlock shit is so frustrating that I'd pay TN for them to just unlock the characters. Arc had the right idea when they made it so that you could just buy the unlock key for Mu-12 in BBCS if you didn't want to have to play story mode to get her.

On a related note, I fully encourage anyone who is annoyed at this to let your frustrations be known via TN's twitter.

ah i guess i just got lucky, well then that is annoying; what if u make an account with no psn; then beat the game? will it care what ur psn account is then?
