Took me several days to figure this out back in the day, but with ME3Explorer and the help of a retired EpicLegion, I cracked it.
You will need the ME3Explorer - get it from here ME3Explorer
- Start ME3Explorer and select PCC Editor 2.0 from the Developer Tools tab.
- Load "SFXGame.pcc" (File menu --> Load) located in Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole
- On the left-hand side of the PCC Editor, select "Exports" tab and scroll down to line #45241 (Default__SFXSFHandler_PCSave)
- On the right-hand side, select "Properties" tab and look for the "MaxSaves" entry. The default value is 50. Change that to whatever number you want. 5000 saves is a safe bet. Even a save-holic like me doesn't usually have more than 500 saves in one playthrough.
- When you're finished, time to save the changes. File menu ---> Save
Make sure to BACK UP the original SXFGame.pcc before you make any changes, just in case you need to restore it later. Then simply overwrite SFXGame.pcc, and depending on your pc's speed, it will take around 30-60 seconds to finish doing that. The resulting SFXGame.pcc will be 27.1mb, as opposed to the original that's 10.3mb. Don't be alarmed, it doesn't cause any problems.
ME3Explorer will then ask you if you want to update the PCConsoleTOC.bin. YES you should, but remember to back up the original file first. The bin file is found in Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame
The bin file update won't take longer than a few seconds, and once it indicates it's done, you're all set. You'll finally be able to save more than 50 times during your playthrough. To verify the save amount you entered, simply go to back to line #45241 ---> Properties Tab ---> MaxSaves XXX
No more backing up a playthrough spread across multiple folders.
