What PokoHex edits in Pokémon Pokopia saves

Across six releases from v0.1.0 through v0.2.2 (November 11, 2026), PokoHex added support for the core save structures and documented the 2.0.1a LD_C0_R.BIN / LI_C0_R.IDX archive container format (PokoHex.Parsing/GameArchive.cs):

How to edit your Recompia save safely

  1. Close the game first: make sure pkp.exe (or pkp on Linux/macOS) is completely closed so the runtime is not writing to your save files.
  2. Back up your save/ directory: open your Recompia game folder (or check Settings > Save folder in PokopiaLauncher) and copy the entire save/ directory (which contains the B00, G00, and S00 subfolders) to a safe backup folder before making any edits.
  3. Open your save in PokoHex:
    • On Windows: extract PokoHex-win-x64.zip (50.6 MB), run PokoHex.exe, and open your save file from the save/ folder.
    • On Linux, Steam Deck, or macOS: open PokoHex.Web (berichan.github.io/PokoHex/) in your browser and load the save file locally.
  4. Save changes and test in single-player: write the modified file back to your save/ directory and launch Recompia.

Progression flag & Link Play cautions: As berichan notes in the v0.2.1 release notes, toggling certain skill flags early can interfere with story progression triggers; if a story event fails to advance, toggle that skill back off and restore from your backup if needed. Also note that in v0.12.0-beta.1 (#518), Recompia includes an experimental built-in Item editor under Settings > Gameplay (disabled during Link Play) for adjusting stack counts of items already in your bag.

Common questions

Where is my Pokopia Recomp save located on PC?

By default, your save sits in the save/ subfolder inside your Recompia folder (next to PokopiaLauncher.exe and pkp.exe), organized into B00, G00, and S00 directories. If you use multiple profiles (v0.8.1+), each profile stores its own save inside that folder.

Does PokoHex work on Steam Deck, Linux, and macOS?

Yes. Use the GitHub Pages browser build at berichan.github.io/PokoHex/, which runs 100% client-side in Firefox, Chrome, or Safari on SteamOS, Linux, and macOS without needing Windows.

Why does sharing an edited save file break Link Play with Error 9005?

Every save file carries a unique internal Player ID. If two players load copies of the exact same save file, Link Play refuses the visit with Communication Error 9005. Always edit your own personal save rather than downloading someone else’s save file for co-op.
