(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi everyone,

I am trying to share a savefile on which I worked really hard and that is now 100% complete. I might as well present it to you as this thread might be the one used to share it, and once you'll see the work done maybe it will motivate you even more to help me Smile

About the save

My first aim was to collect the You must login or register to view this content. that show on the Emblems. So it required that I complete the game 40 times, as I didn't know how to bypass this with cheats.

My second aim was to collect the maximum amount of money, ammo and items on EASY. I cheated for this part, as collecting 9,999 Chaff Grenades in this game is way too tedious. This is how I discovered the NetCheat utility which is awesome ! I even proceeded on maxing the amount of stuff you bought and sold to Drebin (for example : sold 10,000 Grenades).

About the issue

I want the save to be usable by anyone. Technically, this is the case but I want to completely unlink it from my (and any) account so that it truely belongs to everyone and not just me.

I have two PS3, one on OFW and one on CFW (Rebug).

On my CFW console I have :
- User 1 : 1st PSN ID (the one linked to my save)
- User 2 : blank (no PSN ID)

On my OFW console I have :
- User 3 : 2nd PSN ID

Here is the original save : You must login or register to view this content.

I used BSD and wanted to make it work for my blank user and got this : You must login or register to view this content.

1st problem : it changed the description of the save and replaced the ASCII star (★Winky Winky with a question mark (?)

I then used this save with the blank user, it all went normal and I even unlocked a trophy.

Thought all good, but as it's CFW I wanted to test on OFW. So I took the same save, and uploaded it on my 2nd PSN ID user of my OFW console.

I expected it to work because it's linked to a blank user, but when the save loaded I had the message telling me the save belongs to someone else and cannot unlock trophies.

I am so disappointed to come this close of making the save work for everyone... anyone willing to help me ?

I should mention that this is my first attempt at sharing a PS3 save file. So I don't even know if it's possible to unlink it but it was my impression given that OFW saves are shared here.

If it's not possible, please tell me what I can do to make the save :
- work with as much people as possible
- and requires the least amount of effort for them to use it for themselves

I think that sometimes you can“t left it as "blank user" , you have to resign to an account to work. Try resignin it to another account and it should work.

Then shouldn't I just leave it as it is ? I mean the original save linkend to my 1st PSN ID ?

EDIT : oh, or did you mean I should resign it to my Blank User and save directly while playing ? so that the console itself links it to the blank user (as opposed to letting just the way BSD linked it)

ok so I saved while playing with the blank user at the start of the game. It corrected the (?) into (★Winky Winky, so that's good to know. But then I copied this to my OFW 2nd account, and I still have the "you cannot unclock trophies" message : You must login or register to view this content.

EDIT : I started a new playthrough on the BLANK user. Saved. Loaded it on OFW. Fail (warning message). So I deem it being impossible, and I will just proceed on giving this thread a proper presentation.

EDIT2 : Also, I will use the OFW prefix then. As it can be loaded on OFW (although no trophy). If I'm wrong, a mod will correct it.
