Rather than a save game, do you think anyone will be able to make an update file to install and run which lets you take your ghosts back to previous levels?

Excuse me for my ignorance, but what exactly do you mean with guests?

It was a typo. I've changed it to ghosts now.

Maybe, but you have to bear in mind that a patch is quite permanent. I think an editor is better, as you can decide when you want to cheat and when not. Atpeace said he could make one, but I can also give it a try as soon as he tells me how he's done it.

Data Map All offsets in HEX !!!! Not integer Offset (THE SAME FOR ANY / EVERY SAVE GAME) Data For 08 Save Game Title, value relates to level name (0 = start, 0a = start act3) 12? Either 12 or 14 sets the icon for the save game, either timer, tutor hat, 0 is nothing. 14? As above 014 Lv 1 Score 020 Lv 1 Time 2C Lv 1 Complete 30 Lv 1 Available 3C Lv 2 Score 54 Lv 2 Complete 58 Lv 2 Available …. Same structure repeats 88 Lv 3 Available B8 Lv 4 Available EC DeadFellas Available 120 Unusual Suspects Available 150 Face Packs Avil 1B8 Phantom of the opper… Avil 184 Polterguest avai 1eb blair witch 2ac what lies beneath 284 full mortal jacket 250 ghost breakers 21c spookey hollow 2c8 Number Of Ghosts ***** 2c4 Current Section ***** All Avail / Complete values in Bool. (1/0) Time on level is hex minutes and seconds Score is Unsigned? Long The structure of the data is the same for every level entry. Quickly make a fully completed save game into only that allows you into haughting 101, ONLY 1) Set the hex at offset 2C to 0 2) Check the hex at offset 30 is 1 (it should be anyway) 3) Set 2c4 to be 0 4) Check 2CB = 2F I have written a guide suitable for anyone who knows how to use a program like hex workshop... located : homepages.tcp.co.uk/~atpeace/ghost.zipAlso included is the start of a VB6 program, very quick and dirty that does not have any features but would be a good base of a save game editor. If you don't know how to use HEX Workshop, or similar, download it and have a go at this, as then you too will be able to "hack" save games.

I forgot to say.. lol, like I hav't said enough in that doc, that I have not double checked any information so if it appears wrong, then it probably is.

Didn't they have times of 0:00 in the Prima guide?
If so, I'd bet they did that this way....
Really clear explanation of how to hack it atpeace, you should be proud of yourself!
(although I have spotted a few typo's, but I don't mind those)
