As I have played 17 hours of the Wii U version of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE already, I'd rather not replay all that mostly same content now that I have bought the switch version with the added content.
I tried to restore the Wii U save with Checkpoint, but it crashes while loading the save list.
Using a switch save with the Wii U version doesn't immediately crash and displays the current chapter and character levels correctly, but has no information one the current scene and difficulty.
It also displays the playtime as 9999:8 in the save list.
The best case would be that just few offsets have changed, I have my 17h wii u save and like 3 minute switch save attached, any findings are welcome.
Update:
I added a ~ 3 minute wii u save as well to make the offsets better comparable.

It looks very plausible in some parts and other parts match without conversion, it's a bit strange.

I have written a small command line tool that converts a save according to the ranges of offsets I have found:
https://github.com/LittleStinky123/TMS_Reverse
Some offsets are incorrect though, so it currently still crashes when selecting the save.

Update:
It now loads a switch save converted to the wii u format without crashing, still hangs on a boot loop though.

The values of some data structures fluctuate that much between saves that I will probably have to look into them with XCXGecko to get their proper size so they are converted correctly.
Especially the values from 02A0 to 02FF are really annoying.

Hi, i have a completed Wii u save of TMS.

Did you find out a way to port my Wii u save file to switch port of the game?

@Thanos3212 Sorry I didn't have time to work on it.
To be honest it is probably to involved for me with my current knowledge.
Many variables are well documented and I was successful in guessing some on top of that correctly, but I would probably have to dig through RAM dumps of both games to find the length of every existing variable to swap the endianness accordingly.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
