Has anyone found this yet? I want to know my Game ID so I can use the Password Generator with it. This would probably be the best place to ask about it.

Edit: Nevermind. I found it. For those with emulators, open the save file in a hex editor, and then find your character's name. The 2 Hex values before it, when reversed and converted to decimal, will be your Game ID. (For those who like tech talk, the byteswapped half-word before your name is your Game ID)

Example: (This is from my save file)

Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

00000000  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
00000010  23 A0 5A 32 31 32 31 36 2D 30 00 00 00 00 00 00  # Z21216-0......
00000020  FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF  ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
00000030  FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF  ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
00000040  FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF  ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
00000050  FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF  ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
00000060  16 3B 4C 69 6E 6B 00 00 01 54 69 70 69 6E 00 06  .;Link...Tipin..
00000070  0B 01 01 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
00000080  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 8A 00 00 38  ............Š..8


In this case, the characters in red (163B) are 15126 (3B16h), so my Game ID is 15126. I checked the Secrets the Generator gave me against my current save stats (Link, Tipin (Shy1), Ricky, 15126) and Labrynna Secret, and they matched exactly!

So for those who want to know their Secrets in advance (and I don't mean Game Boy Advance  Grin), this is the best method.

Interesting. Quite coincidental you posted this because I've been debating starting a linked Ages let's playing without beating Seasons first. Thanks for this.
