This article is a stub.

The file format for a Hey! Pikmin saved game. Note: this comes from analyses of the .sav files generated by Citra.

Format

The save data is split into several blocks that start with 4-byte magic words.

Checksum

The checksum seems to be a CRC32 of the 0xd87 bytes that follow after the checksum (i.e. just one byte short of the entire remaining data), with crc32 as implemented by e.g. zlib.

The following python code can recalculate the checksum if the data after the checksum is modified: 

import struct
from zlib import crc32

filepath = "radish0.sav"  # put the script in the same folder as the save file
with open(filepath, "rb") as f:
    header = f.read(0xC)
    chksum = struct.unpack("I", f.read(4))[0]
    
    data = f.read()

calculated_chksum = crc32(data[0:0xd87])
with open(filepath, "wb") as f:
    f.write(header)
    f.write(struct.pack("I", calculated_chksum))
    f.write(data)
