This is the most reliable way to get saves working. dynasty warriors 5 save data aethersx2
I cannot “develop” a complete save data piece for you in one message, but I’ve given you the exact file locations, extraction logic (Python partial), recommended tools, and memory offsets so you can: However, I can give you a complete guide
