How do i play the decrypted save on my pc ?

Hi I have been trying to get this to work and only had partial success.. I have copied my PS3 game save to my PC and decrypted it and imported it into my PC version of Skyrim successfully. The problem is trying to get it back to my PS3, it keeps saying data corrupted.

I have the Legendary edition of Skyrim for the PS3 (v 1.9.31.0.

My pc version I can't get to match it.. I have v1.9.32.0 patch and v1.9.29.0 patch.

If I try a lower patch for my PC version the PC version says "this save uses data missing from this version of the game" and when I try to load anyway it crashes to desktop. If I use the later version then it is a newer version than my PS3 and so my PS3 won't accept it either will it?

I can get the game save from PS3 to pc and it works fine.. I then use console to add items and then save it. I then change version number in HxD and then encrypt it and then change filename etc and move it back to my PS3.. data corrupted.

I have a PS3 save where I am stood inside my house in front of a chest. What I would like is, either my character or the chest, to be full of items. namely all the materials needed to build all the houses from Hearthfire in large quantities, and I would also like a full set of Daedric armour unenchanted, and a full set of Ancient Falmer Armour, also unenchanted. Also Miraak's Sword and the Dragonbone 1 handed sword. Could anyone add these please?

i dont think the .1 point or whatever maters, as long as it is 1.9 on both pc&ps3
...about the HxD, do you know what you're doing? coz i think, maybe thats where the corruption error comes from? what (version number in HxD) did you try to change and why? where did you read that you need to do it?

mod the save on pc and post that save here, dont hex edit it or try to encrypt it, and with it post the ps3 unmodded save full folder. i'll try to make it right...

Step Four - Encryption
Before encrypting the file back to PS3, open the decrypted save (.ess) in an hex editor and change the value at offset 11 to 07 as shown below:

HxD 1.7.7.0

Pre editing in PC version my version showed 09 not 07.. so I was unsure about that.. I have tried both

I have used Hex editors since the days of my hacking GT Hybrids in Gran Turismo 1 and 2 on the PSX hooking it up to my PC using a printer parallel cable. It was my codes on the original Xplorer website that hacked Jade Cocoon 1 for the PSX. So yeah.. I have been hacking games for a few years.. I followed the posted guide to the letter.

lol.... but did you ever try to simply convert it without hex editing? coz i have ported hundreds of skyrim xbox/pc saves plus oblivion and fallout 3, i never hex edited that value/., not once, you only need to encrypt/decrypt...

No I never tried that as I was trying to follow the instructions as closely as possible

welcome

I did that and it stil never decrypted, assuming you meant two separate files for each decryption and encryption code, both to be put the savegame folder
