I don't really understand what the issue is you're having.

A while ago I made a very simple video showing how to use this editor to get money, I didn't touch other options like changing the car configuration because I didn't understand how it works, the main thing for me was just to add money, take a look:
Hi everyone. Entirely new here. I didn't even know a GT6 game editor existed until this week. Downloaded the editor on Windows 11 and it's working just fine so far. So much useful information here and it's really cool to see that there are still updates as of yesterday. Very glad to know the editor works on a basic (not jailbroken) PS3.
In trying to use to the editor to add BHP to the X2014 Far Car, ran into a few questions:
1. Apologies because this was mentioned but I'm not sure I understand. Since the hybridization was patched in an early update, does that mean the editor cannot add BHP to cars for later updates? I've been downloading updates 1 by 1 and after stopping the updates after 1.04 (the Fan Car update), GT6 doesn't make it passed Warning screen. Pic below (been at this screen for several minutes):
2. Under chassis, there are two tabs for treadF & treadR. Do those adjust the grip of the tires? Pic below:
3. To change the BHP, do you have to edit the HEX code?
Hope someone can help.

Unfortunately, I don't think so. I've talked with the creator a few times about this and apparently, even when it was doable back in the day, it oddly enough only worked online, trying to use it offline would cause it to reset. Of course, was it patched later on, but my understanding is even if it wasn't, it wouldn't work anyway since the game is offline.
Not sure why it's doing that. Did this occur after you used the save editor?
I can't say I have an answer for either of these.

Many thanks for responding so quickly. Good to know that the BHP won't work offline. Polyphony did too good a job patching that! Definitely will save the confusion. For the frozen warning screen, I backed up my gamesave to a USB and deleted it on the PS3 and am currently starting GT6 after each update. I'm on update 1.09. The game starts each time. It's tedious, but when I tried getting the game to install all the updates at once, I kept on getting installation error messages. The warning screen froze without using the editor.
Looks like we won't have to worry about the hex code since it won't work offline. When the updates are done, I'll try out the treadF/treadR and post if anything happens.

Yeah they learned a few things from GT5 since so many edited their save games back in the day, though it's weird how they work online, but not offline.
I really need to look into how hybriding was done in this game because me and I think the creator too only have a vague idea of it. I never did any hybriding back in the day because it was confined to CFW only for a long time and since I didn't have it, I missed out and by the time I did, it was long after GT6's heyday.
Ah yes, GT6 is known to do that. I recommend just installing a little at a time.
Now that you mentioned that the hybriding only worked online even before it was patched, all of the YouTube GT6 BHP hack replays are online. That is weird.
You're right, one update at a time is working. It's currently installing 1.15. Getting there.
Oh, I think the patch for hybridization patch might have been update 1.14 (released November 19, 2014). One of the patch notes was:
- Enhanced security to prevent players who have manipulated their save data files from accessing online features of GT6.

Well, that's good to know! I thought for sure it was patched way earlier though, but apparently not.
Thank you for posting this! Works exactly how you showed it on update 1.22 on a non-jailbroken PS3 Slim. Engine overhauls and rigidity restoration is pricey! Also liked your video on YouTube.

Just jumping on here. I ran GT5 into the ground, all the cars and events. Got GT6 and while I finished all the events, it just felt like too much of a grind to earn the money to get all the cars. Starting to play World of Tanks didn't help either even though I bought a PS4 to play Rockband 4. Once I learned that you could not use my current wheel to play GT7, I never got that. So this Xmas, I got a PS5. One of the free game was Your First GT, so I d/l that and I suck with a controller, but I thought, maybe I will get a new wheel. So looking on here for the first time in a few years, I discover the editors for GT5 and GT6.
OMG, thank you so much to the guy who did this. I can now add enough money to GT6 to buy the cars and start to play it again. Thank you, thank you.
Now I am only posting on here as a service announcement. My GT6 is at 1.22. When I first did the editor, it worked no problem. I bought a lot of cars, and had the money way down, so I figured that I would just do it again. Well it would not work. GT6 kept saying the save file was corrupt, please use the backup file. That worked no problem. Tried it multiple times, same issue.
So I thought, maybe I'm adding too much money this time. So I kept it under 100M and that worked, bought cars and did the same thing, under 100M and works no problem. Now I was trying to put 300M on it, and maybe somewhere in between would be ok. I tried looking to see if that had been mentioned, but I couldn't see anything.
The only other thing that is weird(and started me down a wrong troubleshooting path) is when I copy the savedata to my USB stick, after I add the money with the editor, when I look at the savedata on the USB stick, it still shows the old amount. Even when you copy over the savedata on the PS3, it still shows the old amount. However, when you run GT6, it has the correct 100M on it, and the amount is correct when you exit the game. I thought this was an error, but I guess it's working as intended? or some PS3 file glitch?
anyway thanks again

There are several editors out there for GT5, one of which is even by the same person, which even allows for DLC activation.
As far as GT6 goes, this is currently the only save editor I am aware of, but the creator is working on making a new one.
Are you sure you're saving your save game in the editor before quitting?
That I am not too sure about either, but I wouldn't worry about it, it appears to be mostly cosmetic.
You're welcome!

I'm doing the saves correctly. The only difference is the money amount I am putting in. It is weird.

Apparently, there is only so much you can put in the save game. Though what that limit is, I am unsure.

Somewhere north of 96M, but I have it working now so I don't want to spend the time figuring it out. I would have thought the editor would have a built in limit, but I'm grateful for what it is anyway.
