Modding Your Level:
For now the max level you can go to is 127 anything higher it tells you you're missing DLC.

Now the Highlighted Number and Dot is what you need to Change.
if you are level 50 The HEX number will be 32 on your save. I changed it to 7F to be level 127

Modding Your Backpack Slots:
For now the max is 127 anything higher won't work.

Don't normally like asking, but as I don't have a Game Genie yet, would anyone who does mind doing the backpack expansion for me? I don't much care about level 125 until you figure out how to get level 125 equipment and mobs lol

Hello,

I am very new to console games. Only on PS3 because of Borderlands 2. Didn't realize it is such a hard to crack platform, should have tried an XBOX360 otherwise. But now I have to deal with it.

After my legally purchased PS3 Xploder did not allow me to low level extract and mod the innards of my save files, yesterday I have ordered my copy of "Game Genie". Understanding it is solely supporting US games, I'll need to convert the region before and after its mods.

My core question:

When I am interested to use Gibbed editor, there is an issue with PS3 encryption layers. In case of Borderlands 2, the Save files will be delivered in a somehow encrypted SAVE000X.sav format. Using XBOX tools, I am able to extract SaveFile.sav from similar XBOX or PC version based Save000X.sav files.

But can I apply the changes I'd desire to SaveFile.sav, and back port it to my PS3?

Sadly, I cannot find a way to re-pack and / or sign SaveFile.sav back into the signed and encrypted SAVE000X.sav format.

Do you know by any chance a way to achieve this re-signing? Having spend about 4 nights in Google, PS3 modding sites, and Youtube with little success.

My last hope : Game Genie

Basically what I am trying to achieve are matching maxed out skill points for Axton, and the Kawaii Killer head for Maya (My girl is crazy about it) both a level 50.

Here I saw you HEX edit tutorial and thought you might know a way to fix my issue.

What can you suggest to get these 2 points fixed?

(IMHO: Kawaii Killer head is quite difficult to obtain as trade item)

Sincerely,
Bon

Thanks and great work. +1

No Game Genie is an upgrade version of HEX editor because the game genie version decryptes it and re-encryptes for you with HEX editor it does not, so no it is impossible to do it with HEX

Very sure. PS3 .sav files are encrypted containers.
