Savegames in PPC and PC

Post by aloha »

In a similar order of things to my last post http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=4896.In order to avoid the problematic scenes in Full Throttle, I have been trying to use my PPC 0.10.0 savegames in my PC Linux 0.10.0 ScummVM ( Gentoo), and I found that I cannot open them. The same problem arises when I do the proper from PC to PPC. Is there any way to swap between them?

Thanks in advance

What do you mean by "cannot open"? Loading them gives an error, or you cannot see them in the load dialog? Are you sure you have set the save game path to point to the approprite location?

Since WinCE scummvm uses the scummvm core save game load/save routines, it is highly unlikely that the savegame is not transferrable between ports. I have tested with the latest svn source for FT and it worked just fine.

Ok, this seems solved now. For some reason my PC scummvm was naming differently the savegames than in my PPC, so they were not detected. But it started to work by simply renaming.
