@EmeraldNova has been testing my Save Game Copier re-write. He noticed that the Panzer Dragoon Zwei save didn't work when copied. One theory I had is that the comment on the save (which appears to change based on your in-game rank) was invalid. Also highly possible I still have bugs in my code but it appeared the hashes matched.
So some questions:
1) What does the Netlink do regarding metadata? I was under the impression that the Netlink does not transmit the save metadata. What happens when you download a save with the Netlink to your Saturn? I'm assuming the comment field says something like "Netlink"?
2) Do you know if Panzer Dragoon Zwei or any other game actually validate the comment field?
3) @cafe-alpha, Rockin' B, and hitomi2500 have save game utilities. If they save the metadata in some way I should probably do it the same way for compatibility across tools. I haven't looked at their source code yet.
Thanks.
