broken sword save game crash(NEED SAVE GAME DATA PLEASE)

Post by johnemerson38 »

i have been playing broken sword on scummvm 0.12.0 win32 and everything was great until i wanted to save and found out my folders were set to read only on so couldnt save so no probs quit the game and changed it over and now saves but did a search on the net and found all the save game data off this website

http://simplebrokensword.free.fr/download01.html

now did as they say and put all the file in the folders and what not and all the paths are changed on scummvm and when i go on to broken sword it shows the files but as soon as i click on one i get a black screen and it just turns itself off

any help as i dont fancy starting again :(

Since that page mentions the "pyramid bug" in Broken Sword 2, which shouldn't happen in ScummVM, I assume those savegames were made with the original interpreter, not ScummVM. I don't know if ScummVM can load original savegames from the Broken Sword games. In general, compatibility with original savegames isn't considered an important feature, though supposedly it does work for Simon the Sorcerer and The Feeble Files.

I guess so, but you didn't mention which of the two Broken Sword games (well, more than that actually, but we only support the first two) it was, or how far you had gotten. (For some games, it has to be the exact same version of the game for it to work. I'm not sure about this case, though.)
