    Detecting the Savefile

    1. Check that the Savefile’s size is 0x40000 in size.
    2. Check the first 0x8 bytes on the following locations:
      • 0x0
      • 0x1000
      • 0x2000
      • 0x3000
      • 0x4000

    And make sure that at least one of the locations contain (see below).

    • ^ NOTE: Each region has a header identifier, see below for the proper one.
      • 0x64 0x61 0x74 0x00 0x1F 0x00 0x00 0x00 => USA.
      • 0x64 0x61 0x74 0x00 0x20 0x00 0x00 0x00 => Europe.
