Remove/Reset Friend Code in Animal Crossing City Folk rvforest.dat

Hi, signed up because I also had questions about clearing my old PID from my ACCF save for use with wiimmfi. Sorry to necrobump.

I've tried modifying the data at offsets 40-43 to '00 00 00 00' and then update the checksum at 0x20​. However, AC:CF still complains that the save is invalid.

I've created a gallery to show what I'm doing: https://imgur.com/a/iSpo3

Are there any other checksums or data that need to be updated?

That looks correct. Before making any changes, can you verify that the checksum at offset 0x20 can be calculated correctly (i.e. does your hex editor produce the same CRC32 that is currently stored at 0x20)? If so, it is possible there is another checksum that requires updating or the game does not like the value you are saving to 0x40.

I've been looking at this post awhile, and I'm trying to figure out how this works, what are some of the things I need to understand before I do all of this?
