Version 1.0 = Initial public release.  4/30/2025


Dark Cloud 2 (PS2) Editor uses PCSX2 save state files.  PCSX2 is a very popular free PS2 emulator.  The default location for the save state files are in your Windows Documents folder in a folder named PCSX2.  Inside that folder, look in the "sstates" folder for all the save state files.  Dark Cloud 2 save state files will start with "SCUS-97213".

Editor will work on the USA version with a serial number of SCUS-97213.

To create a save state file while playing just press F1, or you can click on "System/Save state" and then select which number.  You can load save states by pressing F3, or you can click on "System/Load state" and then select which number.

Any save state file you edit should take affect right away when you load that save state in the game.

PCSX2 save state files are compressed.  When you open one with the editor, it will uncompress the file for you so you can edit it, and it will re-compress it when you're finished so PCSX2 will recognize it.

IMPORTANT:
Save states made with newer versions of PCSX2 (ver 2.0.2, 2.2.0, etc) will not be compatible with this editor, so you'll need to click on the "PCSX2 compatibility fix" button to make save states that are compatible.  If you want to do this compatibility fix yourself, or reverse it, open the text file included in this zip called "HowToEditPCSX2iniFile.txt".

This editor is kind of a cross between a save editor and a ROM editor.

Shouldn't need any additional files if you're using Windows (uses the .net framework).

You can find more information about this editor in a RHDN forum.  Copy and paste this link:
