Savemap

The following is the general save format for the game. This data excludes the header data that differs between the PSX and PC version. (PSX header is 512 Bytes, checksum @ 0x200) (PC header is 9 bytes, checksum @ 0x11) Note: For the preview descriptions below, changing these values does not change any in-game values. These are only used so a player can preview the data within the save file when viewing the Save menu.
