Editing Hey! Pikmin save file

{{stub}}
The file format for a ''Hey! Pikmin'' [[Save files|saved game]]. Note: this comes from analyses of the <code>.sav</code> files generated by Citra.

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

=== SAVE ===

|}

=== NEWS ===
What "news" the player has seen. "News" are the cutscenes that take place inside the S.S. Dolphin II, where the ship explains something to Olimar.

== 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:

<pre>
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)
</pre>
