Hi!
I'm using the savegame from the Japanese FFIII (no point in doing everything again...) with FFIII USA, and now my characters have crappy names like ]cO or a%5 since I was using the original japanese names.
Using an hex editor, I managed to find out the names and translate them, but as I suspected, now I have a CRC error. Anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks!

I did the same thing for for FF4. Well, I started with a European dump, and went to a US one to use PAR codes. Not sure if such a thing exists in 3 yet, but I found a Namingway and just renamed all my guys. Worked fine after that.

That would be the easisest way, but unfortunately there are no Namingways on FFIII...
