100% save?

[Chiptune]

If it isn't too much trouble, I want a completed save for ZX and ZX advent to get like Model Ox and the 3rd save file with X instead of Zx.

I know right? I bet you they'll get silent over, roms and cheat mods.
Oh what? Can download roms and mod games but downloading save files is a big no no now?

Not really sure how downloading a rom is the same as getting a save ti not play a game...but ok?

PC gamers have bragged about pirating games such like playing Switch games on the Steam Deck having mods and cheats loaded into but downloading save files is suddenly wrong.
I just find it ironic, that's all.

I don't really see where anyone outright said that it's wrong. Myself and several others just didn't really see the point. 100% completion means everything is already done. There's nothing left to do. Are you just wanting to explore around the areas with no real objective? Are you just wanting to try out certain transformations? If it's the transformation thing, you could probably just download a cheat engine table that unlocks them automatically, as everything that used to be possible through Game Shark/Game Genie codes on GBA/DS can be reproduced with Cheat Engine in these ports.

That's on top of other complications that got mentioned, such as:
-Others having to go through the effort of 100%ing the games just so people begging for save files on the internet but unwilling to do the same work can have them.

-All of the save data for all 6 games being merged into a single file for the collection, so if you want only certain games 100% completed, you will have to restart all of your progress in the other games.

-All of the above potentially becoming moot regardless because the collection has shown a tendency to be very finicky with what save data it will even accept and what it will regard as corrupt. I mentioned already in this thread the tendency of save data made with modded exe files to not work with vanilla copies, which also applies in the other direction. However, since then I've even tried save files made by the same exe file and they didn't work either for reasons I'm yet to fully understand, and there's a chance that if you're trying to play rolled back to older versions of the exe, save files made on newer versions might not work either. I don't entirely understand why this happens, but it makes trying to share save files a pain.

God I hate it when people try to preach to others about questions like this. Nobody was asking for your opinion, they just want a save file. What if they've already completed this game on DS and don't want to go to the trouble of unlocking everything again? Even if it's their first time playing, we should let people play games they way they want, even if they want to "cheat."

If the collectables are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and not fun to get, I completely understand. But if getting 100% is a fair and challenging experience, why the ♥♥♥♥ would you deprive yourself of that experience?

Maybe time issues. Maybe you're like me and have almost everything, but that Area K subtank is obnoxious to get.

I recently completed the game, so here is my savefile:
https://drive.proton.me/urls/1A61B4H2X4#QiEob49MvghV

- Ultimate Modes are available for Zero 1, 3 and 4.
- Hard Modes are available for all games.
- Gallery is unlocked for Zero 2.
- All achievements have been unlocked, meaning all modification cards are available for Zero 3 (the cards that add stuff to the base or make Zero more powerful are activated).
- All minigames have been unlocked for Zero 3 & 4 and ZX & Advent.
- Model X can be kept when obtaining Model Z.
- Model a can be unlocked in ZX Advent (use the item in the inventory after obtaining Model A).
- Z-Chaser has been completed with mostly S-Ranks, so you can aim for Z or ZZ-Ranks.

These only apply to the English versions of the game. Haven't bothered to play the Japanese versions yet. Not going to do French, Italian, German or Spanish versions of ZX(A).

Edit:
I have now unlocked all the minigames which required scoring 100 points or beating Hard Modes etc.

My save file is for the unmodded version of the game. So, if you're using any mods that alter the exe in any way, then that could be the issue here.

According to CrowRising's post it's not guaranteed that another user's save file necessarily works:

I should probably mention this here, actually, now that it's been discovered.

Modifying the exe in any way will cause save data made with that exe to be incompatible with vanilla, unmodded copies of the game. This includes the patch for english names in the japanese versions of ZX and ZXA. Even if you are downloading a save made with the same modifications you have, for some reason it seems there's no guarantee it will work.

Similarly, trying to use a vanilla save file on a modded copy of the game is not guaranteed to work, though sometimes does.

Because of this discovery, it is now known that even if someone uploads a save file, it is not guaranteed to work with your copy of the game.

This odd because I haven't modded the game at all myself, just keeps crashing, I'll see if I can get it to work, Haven't planned on modding the game and If I were the only mod I would want is for Model OX to give Vent Omega's voice but I don't know if such a mod exist.

It's possible that this game does something similar to MMBNLC where the game compares user's SteamID and checks it for in the save file.

Seeing as no one else has uploaded their save file for this game, this issue hasn't come up before.

Might be true for X Collections as well.
