	~~=== Background Information ===~~		<code>PLAYERS/players.rwm</code> is where the Team Rush account data is stored. The first byte is <code>0x14</code> for OG2049, <code>0x18</code> for TE, and <code>0x19</code> for SE. When the data transfer completes, the game changes this byte to <code>0x10</code>, which if booted will count as absent and the game will start new account data. Restoring this byte will allow the old version of the game to see the profiles again.
	~~'''[UNCONFIRMED]'''~~ When the data transfer completes, the game changes a byte ~~in the Team Rush data header from hex=14~~ to ~~hex=00. This in turn makes~~ the game ~~no longer see the~~ data ~~on the hard drive~~. ~~By changing~~ this byte ~~back,~~ the game ~~will once again~~ see the ~~player data~~.

	~~Because this information is stored on~~ the hard drive ~~three times for redundancy~~, this byte ~~also~~ needs to be fixed in all three ~~versions~~ of the ~~data~~.		When manually editing the hard drive sectors, this byte needs to be fixed in all three copies of the file as players.rwm is set in the filesystem to have three copies.

	~~=== Procedure ===~~
	~~# Look for~~ the ~~hex string: <code>00 3C 03 00 00 30 C7 66 E1 9B 0B 45 A2 00 00 00</code>~~
	~~# Replace the first "00" with "14" like so: <code>14 3C 03 00 00 30 C7 66 E1 9B 0B 45 A2 00 00 00</code>~~
	~~# Repeat this for the next two versions of the data, and save your changes.~~
	~~The older version of the game should now show all Team Rush data as it once did before the transfer~~.

Team Rush data can be transferred from older versions of San Francisco Rush 2049 to a new version of the game. This includes player names, coin counts, miles, and unlocks.

Due to the differences in the game physics, player times are not included in this transfer.

'''<span style="color:#ff0000"> Once a transfer is completed, Team Rush data will be unavailable on the old version of the game without data modification.</span>'''

== Transferring Data ==
An IDE ribbon cable with support for a primary and secondary device must be used. The cable that comes with the game only allows a primary device to plug in.
# Plug the new drive in as primary, and the old drive in as secondary. On a colored IDE ribbon cable, the blue end plugs into the game, the black end plugs into the primary drive, and the grey end plugs into the secondary drive. Depending on the drive, you may need to configure jumpers to adjust drive type.
# Turn the game on, and go to the test menu.
# A new option in the menu will be present: "'''COPY PLAYER DATA'''"
# Upon selection, the game will transfer the data.
# The game's power can now be turned off, and the old drive removed.
The Team Rush data is now ready to be used in the newer revision of the game.
