The Save.bytes file is the master database for Wrestling Empire
, containing all your custom rosters, career progress, championships, and unlocks. Managing this file allows you to back up your progress, share rosters with friends, or install "real name" mods. 📂 Locating the Save.bytes File
The file location depends on your platform. You may need to enable "Show Hidden Files" in your operating system settings to see these folders.
Windows (Steam/PC):C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\LocalLow\MDickie\Wrestling Empire\Save.bytes
Nintendo Switch: Save data is locked to the system and cannot be accessed as a file, but can be managed via the console's Data Management menu. 🛠️ Common Operations
Backing Up: Simply copy the Save.bytes file and paste it into a safe folder. This is highly recommended before installing mods or if your wrestler is in a high-risk career state (like being near death).
Restoring: Replace the existing Save.bytes in the game folder with your backup file.
Installing Mods (Real Names): Many community guides, such as the 100% Accurate Names Guide on Steam, provide custom Save.bytes files. To install, download the file and overwrite your local one.
Resetting Progress: To completely wipe your game, delete the Save.bytes file (or the entire Wrestling Empire folder in LocalLow) while the game is closed. ⚠️ Critical Notes
Cross-Platform Syncing: You can manually move your Save.bytes between PC and Android to continue the same career on both devices.
Steam Cloud: If playing on Steam, be aware that Cloud Sync might overwrite your manual changes. If your modded file keeps getting replaced, disable Steam Cloud for Wrestling Empire temporarily.
Unlocks: Replacing your save file with a "100% Complete" file from the internet will instantly unlock all characters and the Golden Pen editor.

Step 3: Clear Match History (Hidden Trick)
On the main menu, go to Options → Game Options → Clear Records. This deletes historical match data without affecting your current roster or champions. Some players report saving 10-15KB instantly.
Where saves are stored (general)
Android (APK / Play Store / sideloaded): saves are usually in the app’s internal storage under Android/data/[package_name]/files or in internal app-specific directories; some emulators store them in the emulator’s user data folder. Access may require root or an app backup tool.
iOS: saves are in the app sandbox; accessing them requires a device backup, jailbreak, or a file-transfer utility that exposes app containers.
PC (if using Windows builds or emulators): saved files may be in the emulator’s virtual storage or in AppData/Local/ or in the emulator’s profile folder.
Emulators (e.g., PPSSPP or other platforms): saves are often a file with a recognizable name (save.dat, or a folder per title) inside the emulator’s save directory.
(Exact paths vary by build/version and device; many modern mobile apps keep saves in protected internal storage and are not directly accessible without special tools.)
Example Python Snippet (Recalc Checksum)
with open("CareerSave", "r+b") as f:
data = bytearray(f.read())
checksum = 0
for b in data[0x08:]:
checksum ^= b
data[0x04] = checksum
f.seek(0)
f.write(data)
