The most n00bish question I could ask, sorry; plenty of savesets on ngu that Id love to use, but lots of them have the XPLODER: mark in their title. Does this mean I have to own xploder to use them or does it mean that these saves were simply made with xploder and I can get away with only resigning them?
I'm less familiar with the PS3 saves, but I would think any PS3 save game resigner would work with PS3 saves. This is the big thing you would need to watch out for, though: Some of the PS3 saves are marked CFW. Others are marked OFW (some might not say one way or the other). Unless you have a jailbroken PS3, then stick to the OFW (official firmware) saves. Xploder, as far as I'm aware, works on a standard PS3, same as Bruteforce Save Data with which I'm more familiar.
Looking at the threads you've replied to, I see a AC4 thread, PS3 version. Xploder for PS3 should work fine for that. So should Bruteforce Save Data, which again, I'm more familiar with. It's free. We have a tutorial around here somewhere. This is a good one:

I also see you replied to a PS4 thread, a Yakuza Kiwami one (great game! and great thread! I haven't played AC4 or I would probably say the same I'm sure). For that, you would need Save Wizard, which you would need to pay for. I'l reply to you on that thread regarding Save Wizard.
