Hello 🙂
I'm using save wizard to edit some of my ps4 save game files, under advanced mode it is all written in hex coding and I'm not sure what different numbers and codes represents what in my games, so it's hard to read and edit
anyone have or know of any kind of tool that converts it into something readable like text?
thanks very much

hex coding just means one way to represent a bunch of numbers, but what the numbers actually mean always depends on what is reading them. there are of course agreed-upon formats, like ASCII Text, or BMP Images or whatever. but save files are usually made specifically for the game by the game makers and only for the game. in other words, making it easy for other programs or other users to read the contents or change them was never a concern
think of it like this: you are essentially asking "i've got this order here for a 103, a 55, a 96 and a double 33. where can i find a tool that translates it into something readable?". well, without knowing what restaurant (or whatever) the orders are for, it's literally impossible to know. and if we know what the restaurant is, we still need to see the menu. in this metaphor, the restaurant isn't giving out the menu, which is "the secret coding for save games"
