The more elegant solution is to rename and archive the .map file off the card and then swap it in to place prior to heading to a new track or back to an old track. I generally try when dealing with owners and users of all different abilities, start with the easiest solution first.
I was really only suggesting the .map file copy off/on for the general public. That should be easy enough and honestly, that's some basic level stuff that in 2017 most people should be able to do (or at least read on how to do).

The hex editing thing was more of me thinking if that's possible and how difficult it might be. Video game save editing has become way more difficult than it used to be with console/profile locking and varying types of crypto applied to them.. I'm hoping the stuff written from the PDR isn't that complicated since hopefully their focus was on content vs control.
