You have to transform your Friend Code into hexadecimal and strip the most signifcant byte so that you have 4 bytes left.<br /> For exmaple take this Friend Code 1234-5678-9012.&lt;br&gt;<br /> First remove the hyphens then convert the decimal number into hexadecimal:&lt;br&gt;<br /> 0x1CBE991A14<br /> <br /> Then remove the most significant byte:&lt;br&gt;<br /> 0xBE991A14&lt;br&gt;<br /> This number is the Principal ID and would be 3197704724 in decimal<br /> <br /> The most significant byte that was removed is actually the checksum that validates a friend code (in this case this it would be an invalid friend code)<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> [[FRDU:IsValidFriendCode]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[FRDU:PrincipalIdToFriendCode]]</div>
