Hi my friend, unless it is confusion on my part, thats not what I mean.
If I'm updated to 5.50 and I install, I don't know lets say Far Cry 5 next week, and I see a save on here for max everything for 5.05 or under then it is not going to work on my 5.50 game is it? As the save would be created on an earlier firmware than I have installed?
With one caveat, that SHOULD work. The SHOULD is that not all 5.05 saves are working on 5.50, and we don't have a full list. I haven't been using Savewizard much at all so I can't tell you and I don't even Far Cry. But I think the 2 games I've sen people say will NOT work are Monster Hunter World and Dragon Ball Z.
What you would not be able to do is use Save Wizard to apply cheats to Far Cry 5, either quick mode or advanced mode, but to the best of my knowledge Save Wizard does not support any cheats for any Far Cry games anyway. But let's say, like you said, someone posted some saves on this forum for Far Cry 5 that you wanted to use, some super over-powered starter save. All you would have to do is resign that to your account. Save Wizard does not have to support cheats for the game in question in order for it to resign the game to your account. If you're not sure how to resign, I think there are tutorials floating around, but it's pretty simple. Basically Save Wizard would be putting your own account information onto the downloaded save so that you can use it on your own account on your own PS4.
UNLESS it's a game like Monster Hunter World or Dragon Ball Z or whatever the second game was, then it should not matter at all that the save you downloaded was 5.05, or even below. If you copy that 5.05 save, or 4.70 save, or whatever it is, to your PS4, then once you load up your game and load up the save your game will turn it into a 5.50 save to work with your 5.50 PS4. I hope that makes sense.
But bottom line is that from what it sounds like, for what you're talking about -- using someone else's saves -- most people have been saying it still works with 5.05 or below saves on a 5.50 system, just not for all games. No way to know for any particular game until someone tries it and hopefully chimes in here to say "Such and such game worked, or did not work, for me."
