Thanks for these, had 'Hollywoodland' hanging over me forever, couldn't be bothered to do the leg work any more!
Hope this helps someone by the way, because God knows I had to search for hours:
These save files are for the Complete Edition BLES-01488 and I needed the 49/50 Gold Film reels save for BLES-00933 which is the Standard LA Noire.
In the same way that you can change the region of a game save, you can convert these saves to work with the Standard edition of LA Noire.
- Open the PARAM.SFO in a HEX editor and search for the instance of 01488
- Make the change, replace the 01488 with 00933 and save the file. Make no other changes.
- Then load the PARAM.SFO into your resigner and resign the save as normal - the resigner should detect the save as being for the Standard edition, and when you resign, it'll export a folder with the correct BLES (00933)
- When you put the file back on your PS3, it will be labelled as LA Noire: Complete Edition but the standard version of the game will detect it and load the profile correctly.
I can vouch that this works, having done it myself - not sure if it would work for other Complete Editions or GOTY editions but maybe worth a go if you are stuck like I was.
Sorry if this is old news, I'm new to this stuff.
Cheers
