I'm making this thread to hopefully spark some interest in an XP hack. I recently saw this post on TTG where this guy explained (VERY roughly) how to do an XP hack for RDR. I've tried to figure out what he was saying and I've done multiple trials but with no avail. I'm going to dissect what he said and break it down for you guys. I believe we are VERY close to figuring this out! THIS DOES NOT WORK AT THE MOMENT I REPEAT, THIS DOES NOT WORK AT THE MOMENT!, and thats exactly why I started this thread. I did not steal this, I'm not taking credit for what that user on TTG found, I'm simply BRINGING IT TO NGU. and creating a waaay more easy tutorial to follow. so before you get mad at me for writing this saying its incomplete, try to make sense of that other guys tutorial on TTG and then tell me which tut makes more sense!
O.K. Let's Begin.
Let's start. First get on your PS3 and copy your Red Dead Redemption 'Multiplayer' file to your USB.
Plug it into the computer, and find this folder:

Then open up your RAGE.SAV file up with your hex editor:

You should then see the SAV file opened and all of the characters:

Next, we need the Float to Hex Converter, link below:

Now here is one part of his post that I'm a little confused on:

I'm not sure if he means how much XP in total you have, or how much XP you need to level up to the next level.
But either way this is what you would do.
Enter "how much EXP you have" into this box:

After you've entered the XP amount, then click the 'Not Rounded' Button to the right:

Then you will see a bunch of numbers fill all of the empty boxes.

What this has done was changed the numerical XP amount that you have over to HEX code. So under the 'Single precision' Category you take the HEX for the XP:

Then you Copy the FIRST 4 digits of that number.

Open your RAGE.SAV file back up in the Hex Editor, then hit CTRL+F to find, then change the search mode from text string, to hex values (this means it will search the entire file for that XP Hex code)
You must login or register to view this content.
after changing it, paste the hexadecimal code into the search bar.:

Then it will automatically find that four digit code for your XP:

Now this is the part he didn't explain well.

Then you'll change those 4 to "497424". Which means you'll start 1 byte before your current EXP.
The first time I tried this I once it was highlighted I copied his number 497424 and pasted it over the old XP Hex that was there.
Then I got this message:

I Hit OK and it changed the number but made the file larger when I saved it.

But basically all you would do after this step, is save the file and then safely remove your USB then plug it into your PS3 then over-write the old 'Multiplayer' save with the edited one.
Here is where we need to figure this out as a community.

First of all, we need to figure out if he means how much XP in total you have, or how much XP you need to level up to the next level.
Secondly, we need to figure out if the six digit code he provided us is even the right code. I don't know how he came up with that number. one possible thing is that we should figure out how much XP it takes to get to level 50 and put that number instead of the random 497424.
-EDIT-
Here is the exact amount of XP to reach level 50! 337110 then once it is converted to hexidecimal the HEX code is: 48A49AC0. I don't know if we should try using the whole code, or just the first four. but that's the exact amount for level 50.

TEST THOSE XP NUMBERS!
I've seen all of the threads asking for this hack for PS3, well this is our chance. let's all come together, post what we find. I do believe this method is the correct way, because the RDR Multiplayer Rank is saved in that SAV file. they don't save your rank online like Call of Duty does. So in the end we need somebody who understands a lot about HEX editing. Let's try to really work on this, somebody will find out how to do it we are so close. If you think I interpreted something wrong in his tutorial, take a look at his and tell me what you think.

Save Point
So there are 3 files: PFD, SFO, and SAV.
What are these files?
I read that PDF and SFO are ps3 profile references.
What can we do with someone else's file?
I read using someone else save by replacing the SAV only works.
A different direction
I believe the sav file is encrypted. The encryption must be tied to the SFO and PFD file (PS3 account specific files). What would be interesting is to look at an actual XBOX360 sav file, since there is an app out there to read it/mod it. This would help me look at the structure of a non encrypted file. My assumption is that PS3 and XBOX360 files have the same structure, because the game was developed with the rage SDK, and it would have been too much of a pain for the developers to make different versions for XBOX360 and PS3.
The real question
How is the sav file in red dead redemption encrypted? Is it game specific? Or is it generic to any games on the PS3? I suspect it's generic. Apparently a guy hacked modern warfare 2? I'll look into that. Also, I must find a way to get more insight regarding the structure of SFO and PFD file. Assuming those are used to encrypt the SAV file, the least to be known is how they work.
Any relevant answer to this post welcome.

Theres two different ways the game saves are copied,
1. copied to another user on console.
2. copied to a external memory device.
I found i can use the users 1 and 2 as save points, (why you ask)
well i can have a level 50 game save on user 1 while i play my legendary game as usual.
That way if i want to use the buffalo gun,bull and the other crap i still have it.
Here's how
when you hit 50 copy your game to user 1. copy your continued game to user 2 as necessary.
when you want to play on level 50 delete multiplayer data and go to user 1 and copy the multiplayer data to YOUR normal account.
when you want it back to normal delete your multiplayer data and go to user 2 and copy the multiplayer data to YOUR normal account.
but other than that ,the gamesaves are definitely encrypted when being transferred from console to external memory.

Haxor!
Is it just me or is rockstar just nuts thinking that people would Multiplayer to get 337,110 xp points 5 times. The math is truly depressing.
337,110 x 5 = 1,685,550 total
Lets say you remove the patch and are able to get 2700xp points each run at Solomons folly. You would have to repeat this 624 times. Or the way I do it is in Pikes Basin 1820xp. (926 Runs) Who really is going to do this. The way i do it would take 92.6 hours of pikes basin. Not going to happen! So who ever cracks this surly stands to make some money! I have a few friends who are interested in the mod solution.
Is there a program to compare one save file to another? The reason I ask is because If we submit the RAGE.SAV file with same character being used... So we can eliminate everything except the Xp. Just an idea.
I AM AT LEVEL 50 I will email to anyone who wants to see it
THANKS FOR EVERYONE WORKING ON THIS. This might be the one and only XBOX advantage over PS3.

i here ya man, doing all that leveling up is tiring. and annoying. and yes i am on first legend because of it, but like you said, fat chance im doing it 5 times lol. hope this gets cracked soon, and yes i agree that 360 is a douche for having such an easy save file to crack .
