Game Genie Save Editor For PS3

Thank you for purchasing Game Genie Save Editor

About This Product

Game Genie Save Editor for PS3 allows you to unlock

your PlayStation 3 saves to give you an advantage.

With cheats to allow more lives, ammo or unlock

levels, Game Genie Save Editor for PS3 lets you play

your games as never before!

How it works!

Important!

Use of Game Genie Save

Editor for PS3 is

designed for personal

offline gaming and not

for use with online

gaming.

Although we endeavour to ensure cheats

only work offline, we cannot guarantee

that any/all cheats will not affect online

gaming.

As part of the installation agreement, you

agree that you will not cheat online.

Should you attempt to use a Game Genie

to interfere with Online gaming, then it is highly likely that you will get

banned. We accept no responsibility for this.

To reduce the possibility of Game Genie modified save affecting online

game play, we recommend that you create a new user account on the

PS3 but do not link it to a PSN account.

Getting Started

need a supported PS3 save. To see which games are

Although some games may show no cheats, the PS3 save can still be

modified in advanced mode. See the chapter Advanced Mode for

further details.

Profile Change feature

Game Genie has an innovative feature called Profile modify. This is

used when a game save is locked so it can only be used by one person.

Meaning you cannot use a save game created by any other user. Many

games are locked to the user that saved them. If you find yourself in a

situation where you want to be able to use a save from another user, or

even give one of your own saves to another user then you need to use

the following procedure.

Step 1: Remember your Profile

First Game Genie needs to know whose profile you want to assign to

games. To do this is easy. Simply right click on a save that was created

by you.

You can change the Profile 1 name to something

appropriate. In this example we will use Game Genie. We will tick the Default box so

this Profile is used by Default

Illustration 1: Extract Profile

Once you select the Extract Profile box you will be shown window like

the following

Finally you must click Apply to save the profile. You can save up to 4

Profiles. You can view, delete or rename profiles in the SETTINGS

menu.

Now that Game Genie Save Editor knows your profile, it is possible to

apply to other games. You might get a game save from a friend, or

download it from the Internet, or perhaps you want to give your friend

some of the Game Genie cheats. To apply this profile you need to do

the following. If we view the Game saves that were on the Game Genie

Device above, there is now a new Column shown and it displays “Game

Genie”

Game Genie knows that these two save games already have the Game

Genie Profile. To apply this profile to another Save game is very easy.

Simply right click on a different save and select the re-sign option. In

our case we already selected Game Genie to be default so that will be

shown as the first option.

Once you select OK, the Profile will be applied to the selected game.

Troubleshooting

What to do if things go wrong

Q Why don't the cheats work

A.

First thing is to check that they have processed by Game Genie

properly. To check make sure the Game Genie Watermark is

present, every game that has been modified by Game Genie will have

the text “Modded by Game Genie” which you can view from the save

game editor. If this is not present then Game Genie has not made

any changes to your save game and something must have gone wrong,

did you remember to copy the modified save game back from your

USB drive?

If you have checked that the watermark “Modded by Game Genie is

present and the cheat still does not work, then try applying the

cheat at a different point in the game. Some games need you to play

a little bit further.

Try the cheat without any download patches, sometimes down-

loadable content can change the way a game works

Check the GameGenie facebook page to see if anyone else has come

across similar problems.

Check the Game Genie Twitter feed for information.

Check the (RSS) message history which is shown when you start the

Game Genie program, it can contain important information on how to

use cheats.

If you tried all the above and still get no luck, then perhaps you have

found a faulty cheat, in which case please report it and we will check

the cheats and if we find they are faulty, we will fix and update

them. What we need is the game Reference number which is on the

disc and on the Box and also the save game itself, it is of the form

BLUS-60300. Also note down what cheats you tried and where you

were in the game. Finally if you can also send us a ZIP or RAR of

your save game, that too would help us.

Q. Why doesn't Game Genie install correctly?

A. You Must have a USB Flash Drive inserted into your PC in order to

use Game Genie Save Editor. Your PC must be connected to the

Internet during installation, and use of Game Genie Save Editor.

Q. I can't copy the save from the PS3 to a USB drive, how can I cheat these games

A. Unfortunately if you cannot get the save from your PS3, there is

currently no way to cheat this game. We are working on this issue and

hope to have an upgrade available in the future.
