BreathOfFireSaveEditor

The Breath of Fire Save State Editor is a Windows Forms application designed to modify party statistics and inventory directly within SNES9x 1.63 save states. The tool operates on files with .000 through .009 extensions. It allows editing of combat stats, vitals, and base stats, though it explicitly excludes character levels from modification to prevent progression conflicts. The editor also manages item quantities, though it does not permit changing the specific item assigned to a slot. Equipment and magic are reported rather than edited, as the game derives these values from the ROM or story progression. The editor uses a gzip-compressed format for save states and identifies party data within the SNES WRAM at $7E1040. Development of the editor involved reverse-engineering the SNES9x 1.63 state structure. The author reports that the editor was developed with assistance from Claude Opus 5, as documented in the commit history. The tool remains a work in progress for certain features, with some aspects of the save format still unverified. BreathOfFireSaveEditor documents the internal record layout and the specific offsets for party data.
