Simply Drag / Drop the SYS-DATA onto the right window:

not encrypted properly then, this will most likely need windows to work properly
i can encrypt your save to test if u want

Yeah sure that would be awesome, I'll PM you with the DL

to fix it you will need to run it through xploder...

Nice Thats sick

Why would I need to run it through xploder, it is MY save. Xploder resigns someone else's savegame to your account ID

you dont even need xploder for skyrim saves, they still load up without resigning - you just cant save/earn trophies

yea you are right i just thought that when changing the region it fixes the param sfo and so i was using it after the sys-data changing but on the last two saves it got to me maybe i dont need to use it so i didnt end i got the very same error on those saves end i thought it was cos i didnt use xploder, i didnt fix them and replied to tyler022 but then i run them trough xploder end still had the error and then i opened them trough HxDen and realized that i didnt encrypt them & that i dont need to use the xploder... sorry ^__^

im taking no refrence code was used from another person then on this I know of two people who have done this recently one doesnt play skyrim anymore..

not sure the link but im pretty sure a modder resource file was uploaded on the nexus to teach people how a save editor read the save file format be nice if you had this included into the save convertor so ppl didnt need skyrim on pc to do this since you can do it through the program anyway

will check it out, but i havent really seen much modded with 3rd party tools / hex editing on xbox. I know you can hex edit items if you put them in a barrel.
