That is a PROFILE.PRF file from a game I'm playing. I'd like to know if it's possible to find the current amount of miles I've driven (214.5) and change it to 999.9. I do not completely understand the hexidecimal system and was wondering if anyone could help out with this. +Rep, and thanks will certainly be given.

If you don't want to do it yourself I understand, can anyone just help me to translate what 214.5 would look like in hex language?

Thank you,
-Brandon

I'm trying to convert the number to Hex but it seems that you cannot have numbers after the decimal place.
E.g.

214 = 000000D6
215 = 000000D7

I'll keep trying to find something.

I will have to check to see if either of those strings are part of the file. If so, what would I replace them with to make it 999? (Let's forget the decimal because maybe the save doesn't exactly keep track of the decimal place.)

999 in hexadecimal is 000003E7

Maybe if you can bring your miles driven up to 215, a more round number, you'll be able to find it in a hex editor.

I will do a few more races until my total miles driven comes out to a round number then repost the file. Thanks again for your help.
