The Savemap
The following is the general save format for the game. This data excludes the header data that differs between the PSX and PC version. (PSX header is 512 Bytes, checksum @ 0x200) (PC header is 9 bytes, checksum @ 0x11) Note: For the preview descriptions below, changing these values does not change any in-game values. These are only used so a player can preview the data within the save file when viewing the Save menu.

Save Item List
Each item in the item list is stored as a word value with the quantity, expressed as a 7-bit value, concatenated with the item's index, expressed as a 9-bit value between the range of 0-320.
In Binary:
QQQQQQQXXXXXXXXX
Where X is the index and Q is the quantity.
There are a total of 320 item slots in the save map and a total of 320 objects that are stored there, some of which are dummy items. The objects are indexed like this:
Indexes 0 - 127: Items
Indexes 128 - 255: Weapons
Indexes 256 - 287: Armors
Indexes 288 - 319: Accessories
Quantity is limited (by the menu mechanics) to 99 since there are only two characters available in the item menu to show quantity. A Graphical "glitch" occurs in the ten's digit when quantity exceeds that number. The menu only checks the current quantity to determine if the value can increase and the quantity will not decrease unless an item is used or sold. Forcing the quantity to exceed 99 does not have any side effect with most versions of the game. The Japanese PSX version(BISLPS-00700) is the only version with a problem when you exceed a quantity of 99 for an item. This version will experience an error during battles when you have more then 99 of an item.
Save Materia List
Materia is stored as a single-byte ID followed by the amount of AP on that instance of Materia stored as an unsigned 24-bit integer.eskill materia does not use the ap value, but instead the 24 bits as switches for each skill that can be learned. For every materia ap =0xFFFFFF when mastered
