You would have to open it like you normally would as an admin and enter the command "cd " - without the quotes then drag and drop the folder you want to go to and press enter. Everything from there should be the same. This will change your directory to the correct directory and you can continue from there.
So ya, I'm struggling with editing my coach save. I've tried using the method you put up but when I port back to Madden, it says that I am using a save from a different version? I know how to extract, rehash, resign, all of that. I just dont know what i'm doing wrong from the cmd prompt or HxD. I'll attatch my files. Original File - http://wikisend.com/download/405794/CAREER-DENVER Updated File - http://wikisend.com/download/513294/CAREER-DENVER2
So it seems that there are a ton a differences between the two saves. You should take your CAREER-DENVER2 save and load it. Then, with that save loaded, you should spend some xp (this is the only thing you should do...don't even advance the week) of the type you wish to mod (Coach I'm guessing) and save the file. Transfer this new save to your PC and continue the process from there, should be a lot easier than what you may be doing now. If you do this and are still getting an error that the save is from a different version (or any other error) make sure you are using the checksum fixer and inserting the correct save back into its container. If it still doesn't work then post here again with both of your files and your error.
I think I'm going to need a video tutorial on this.....When i get to the hex compare i don't know what values or things to change. :why:
Upload the two files your comparing I'll check them out. Include what values you're trying to edit and what the before and after values are.
I made the exact saves and just changed the xp's on one and I started the comparison and again there were too many that were different. Do anyone know the offset or where the Xp hex is.
It varies depending on a number of factors. Upload your save and post what you're trying to mod and I'll check it out. Upload your save and post what you're trying to mod and I'll check it out.
original: http://www.NOTALLOWED.com/file/FC44AB6183E2965F changed: http://www.NOTALLOWED.com/file/8E2236D54BA6A84B I am trying to mod XP but like I said I dont know if that makes a difference being that I have a coach and a player in the same career. Or do I just need to just have 1 player. ****Edit: I started a career over with just a player and the tool worked perfectly so It just might be a problem when there is more than 1 player or coach or owner..
These two saves are good to compare. Once you're down to around 5 differences you can use your knowledge of the amount of XP before and after. For example, it seems that you have 24,118 XP in the first save. So look 24,118 in hex which is 5E36. This can be found at offset 0x5AEA6. You also have 1112 XP with your player so you can find that difference at 0x1DF8E0. Those are the offsets for you, but not for everyone, which is why a reliable tool for coach and owner saves might have taken a much longer time to develop. That being said, I went ahead and modified your save and both your coach and owner's XP. Download this: http://www.NOTALLOWED.com/file/0553779595F179ED and start from step 13 in the tutorial.

Went ahead and modded one for you. http://www.NOTALLOWED.com/file/09EFE2C64A8FC995 Download that and start from step 13 in the tutorial.
I'm not sure where you're getting the frt files from. Make sure you're using Horizon, clicking on the contents tab of the save, right clicking the element in the table and selecting extract. Use what you just extracted with offzip and you should get a file 00000054.dat
Weird, I get .frt files when I'm extracting with offzip. Can you try with these save files instead? Base: http://www.NOTALLOWED.com/file/362D57BC4C34DEA4 Changed: http://www.NOTALLOWED.com/file/6A9510A96D4D2916
I use horizon and get .frt files also. I followed the tutorial step by step but used the .frt instead of .dat and it worked fine on more then one occasion.
I have no clue why offzip gives the frt file extension to some and .dat to others. In any case, I've found your funds and coach xp in the save. Download this: http://www.NOTALLOWED.com/file/3171C4CEBE34119D and continue from step 13 in the tutorial.
