Advanced Hex Editing:
Teleport Anywhere (Get to Eden Island on PS3)

Welcome to yet another PS3 tutorial!
Today I'll be teaching you a single method for getting anywhere on the map.
This includes EDEN ISLAND, as well as a bunch of other cool places.
Right after this tutorial, I'll explain how to hop between Ibiza, Hawaii, and Casino Island.
Let's begin

This method works for ALL USERS (Non-Jailbroken & Jailbroken)
Here is an image to help you through the process::

1. First, copy your save from your PS3, open up your save in Bruteforce,
decrypt it, and open up the DATA file in HxD.
(I might make a tool for instant decryption later.)

2. Now that you have your save open, make sure you are viewing 16 bytes per row.
Then search for your username as a text string.
For example, since my username is Spewfr on PSN, I'll be looking for "Spewfr".
You should now be at an offset close to mine.

3. With your username still highlighted, search for this hex string:
3F 80 00 00
It might not be in the same place for you.
(But for my save, it is in a green box in the image above.)

4. Directly above 3F800000 there should be three sets of four bytes.
(They are grouped in a red box in the image above.)

More information regarding this data:

5. Now it's time to choose where you'd like to teleport.
Download the Coordinates.txt here.

coordinates.zip
(Not yet finished, will continue working on it today.)

6. Paste in the right coordinates.
The X Coordinate goes on top,
The Z Coordinate goes in the middle,
and Y Coordinate goes on the bottom.
Make sure you're using the Hex values.
Don't go pasting in the float value, you silly goose.

7. You have to update your island indentification code, as per the tutorial below.
Then save the DATA file, re-encrypt with Bruteforce, and copy over to your PS3.
Remember that changing the file size is baaad. So don't do it.

Island Hopping

Ever wondered if you could still go to Casino Island when the servers go down... for GOOD?
Well, I can confirm that yes, you can. You just still need to have the DLC installed.

Another image to help you out::

1. Copy the save from the PS3.
Decrypt it.
Open it up in HxD.
You know the drill.

2. Search for this string of hex:
41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41

3. Go down two lines from the 41's, and you should see something like in the image above.
The island code is a set of two hex values. Change it as needed:
005F = Ibiza
015F = Hawaii
025F = Casino Hall
So, if you want to hop to Hawaii from Ibiza, just replace 005F with 015F.

Notes
If you try to go to the Casino Hall w/out the DLC installed, you'll be put on Ibiza

Even if your last save was in Freeride on Casino Island, using the freeride glitch, you still can never save your last position there...
until I find a method!

Update: If you'd like me to find some custom coordinates for you, simply comment the request below.
I'll be happy to get them for you, as it's more of an instant point-and-shoot process for me.
Users with jailbroken PS3's can put bookmarks wherever they choose,
and thus can find the coordinates much faster by placing a bookmark,
and then derive the coordinates of the bookmark by using the same float-value system.
Update #2: Adding all of the Ibiza islands would be insane, as there are 40+ islets off the coast. I might make a list of about 10 of the largest islands and then update the coordinates file.
