I just tried to hex edit my ammo on my save and I tried loading it and the save was corrupted. Is there a checksum on the save?

The save is protected via a custom checksum.

You can use HXD to calculate the checksum using the settings show in the picture
The checksum is writen twice, Once at the begining and once at the end of the file

can the checksum be fixed or whatever the term is so there could be mods? I would try but I don't know the first thing about them.

I don't see why not. I just do it manually with Hxd.

How exactly do I bypass or fix the checksum? Lol never done it before

Ellipse now has an editor for Dead Rising 2, so feel free to use it to fix the checksum.

You select set range:0x4 to0x49F9F use the custom crc settings in the picture, Then write it at 0x0 and 0x49FA0

Looks simple enough. Now how would I go about modding shot gun ammo or assault rifle ammo?
