Touche'.........

Most saves are also saved in your PC in case of Windows, don't know about Mac though...

C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Roaming\RenPy

All Renpy games makes saves in the your user/appdata/roaming folder as well. As long as you don't format your c drive they are all there



Oh for fuck sake Satou.........

But not compressed versions.

do i need to individually download each part and play it like a different game or go for part 6, like most games play the recent update?

Compressions should aswell. Except if there is custom code in the engine files.

Im not sure if it was yours or SoL's but few last updates (not only) here I must copy saves myself. Its not automatical.

Shouldn't be much of a difference, as we both basically do it the same.
Kinda weird though. I'd think Compressions and the main game should use the same Appdata folder.

What you do is dark magic for me, so I don't know. I only know that I must copy saves myself. I didn't check appdata, maybe saves are there, but not visible in game.

The former. Think of it like the seasons of a proper TV series: Go for 1, then 2, and so on.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking a Portable Hard Drive is the way to go.

I personally have two of those at this very moment and let me tell you, they were well worth getting! All the stability and space of an internal harddrive but with the added portability (and thus "hideability!") of a flashdrive. Be sure to get a harddrive, and not a solid state drive. Why? The price will be significantly lower for the former, and if you intend to fill it with low requirement software like porn games, you really won't need the boosted performance speed of an SSD.

What other options are there, though? CD-ROMs and floppy discs are a thing of the past, and neither could fit the amount of data a flash drive holds. Even if you have a google account, there are limits to what you can save. At this point, if there's no way to recover the files, I'm just gonna' re-download all 6 parts and speed through them until I'm caught up - at least I don't need to re-read everything like I did the first time around.

Although I'm no tech geek like a lot in the threads but, I knew enough to get smart and get an external HD. In fact, I recently bought a second one with twice the storage. The 1st was a 1TB, the second is 2 TB. I bought the second because I've damn near filled the first one. Where I live, we often have power outages or brown outs. Years ago, I was in the middle of playing A Family Venture when a blackout hit. Scrambled my laptop and I lost not only that game but several others that I'd planned on playing in my laptop. I thoght about a flash drive but I decided to go Big (since I was Already at home ). Since that time, I download Everything to the external HD so that when another is about to hit, I just pull the plug from the laptop & voila! No lost files.

Not only that.

Portable HDD's are extremely susceptible to damage. For the same reasons as the Flash Drives. Anything that is meant to be plugged and unplugged suffers from the same problem. No matter how careful you are when disconnecting or connecting the USB interface sooner or later craps out killing the drive. Even External HDD's may suffer from that.

I have a pile of them, both Portable and External, all dead because the USB's interfaces either shorted or simply died. In 20 years I was able to save 2 by removing them from the cases and putting them Internal. All the others... they are just very expensive scrap.

The best solution is an Internal HDD or SSD, when that isn't possible, go External HDD. Just choose a good brand (that means no Seagate). Preferably something geared to Gamers, but read the reviews, thoroughly. Portable HDD's if you want something to use VERY rarely, or that you will NEVER unplug.

Oh, and seriously invest in a protection system against brownouts and surge peaks. That will pay for itself the first time a thunder storm in your area sends a peak through the network.

Peace

Thanks. I've got a couple of surge protectors plugged in my place as well. They're not infallible but they give me time to unplug my External HD. I wished that I'd gotten your suggestion sooner because my new HD is from Seagate. Should I be worried?

I can only speak of my own experience. I bought 5 Seagate externals. None survived more than a month after the end of warranty. I stopped buying that, changed to WD, one of them is 10 years old.

Your experience may be different.

Funny but my first HD is by WD! I've had it going on 7 years now with no probs. As far as the Seagate one is concerned, I'm downloading games that I intend to try sometime next year. It's just for storage for now because I've rapidly filled the WD. Didn't think that I could fill up a 1TB HD but with So many games and comics out there, I just Have to save what I see.

Mate, at one point I had 30 Tb. It was TV-shows and Movies... LOL All that is gone now. Digital Hoarding is REAL.
