Now, go to Settings>System>Storage>Hard Drive>Sonic Adventure>Chao Garden Save. I strongly, strongly recommend you do this with two devices, and you'll see why. After a minute or so a message will pop up saying you've configured the Memory Unit and that it's compatible with the XBOX 360. Select the Memory Unit and then select configure (be aware this will delete everything on the Memory Unit). Go to Settings>Storage and you will see the XBOX 360 Hard Drive, The Cloud, and the Memory Unit. Take a flash drive (a 4 GB flash drive works) and plug it into your XBOX 360.

Well, I'm going to make one.įirst you're going to need two programs, the HxD hex editor and a tool called Modio. Yet I have not found any dedicated to the XBOX 360 version or related to the Chao Garden Save. I’d like to thank Speeps for providing a screenshot of Buddy the Chao that I used as an icon for this tool.After searching these forums I have found many a guide for hacking the Game Cube, Dreamcast, or PC version of Sonic Adventure. There’s also an option to export files with headers used by the Japanese version of SA1.Īs Chao data is rather complex and the editor is experimental, there may be some bugs, especially with saving data.

Upload Data (created when you hold Y+A as the Chao goes in the transporter)Īt the moment saving is only supported for Chao Adventure and Download Data, but you can export selected Chao from the garden save file as Download Data or Chao Adventure data.

Chao Adventure (created when you take a Chao out for a walk).

Data produced by the Japanese version is also supported: I would also like to thank the Chao Island member UltimaNumber, who kindly shared the bits of information I was missing and explained how SA1 Chao data works. Although several aspects of it are now known better, Tyro’s notes on SA1 Chao data were one of the most important sources of information for developing the editor. Besides, there have been some updates regarding SA1 Chao data (for example we now have the full SA1 Chao data struct from SADX X360 symbols), and I wanted to make use of that new knowledge to help advance SA1 Chao research. There are several Chao editors for SADX and SA2, but the only Chao editor for the Dreamcast version of SA1 was Tyro’s VMU editor that requires running on an actual Dreamcast VMU or a VMU emulator, which I found inconvenient. The Chao system used in SA1 is the least researched of all Chao games. There is no documentation for it at the moment, although the most important data should be self explanatory. The Chao editor is experimental and will be updated as more information on SA1 Chao data becomes available. UPDATE: It’s been released and is now included in SA Tools.

Like the original DLC tool, the updated editor will be included in SA Tools, which also have a big update underway.
