What Kingdom Save Editor is
Kingdom Save Editor is a free, open-source Windows application for editing videogame saves. Its listed games include Kingdom Hearts I, Re:Chain of Memories, II, Birth by Sleep, Dream Drop Distance, 0.2 and III, as well as Final Fantasy VII Remake, Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal. Editing covers inventory and progression. Supported saves come from PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, Nintendo 3DS and PC, depending on the title, and regional support also varies. A save must be extracted or decrypted before it can be opened. The application can access files opened through File > Open to modify their save data. Its README says it sends the app version, operating-system name, selected game and crash reports for updates and diagnostics; reports can be anonymous, and non-anonymous reports include a randomly generated cookie. The code, interface and included codes are under GPL 3.0 unless a folder specifies otherwise. The repository has been archived and read-only since July 19, 2022.
