Baeus: Paste it to the folder that the game is installed to.

JMich: Anytime a file (saved game for example) is available when running as normal user and unavailable when running as an administrator, it means that the file is stored in appdata\local\virtualstore directory. Not sure about ScummVM, but I don't think it is using any other directory to save the files, but it is possible it is using it's own directory. Take a look at appdata\local\virtualstore for the directory ScummVM is installed (eg appdata\local\Program Files (x86)\ScummVM) and see whether it is saved there. I believe that it will be in the virtualstore\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Quest for Glory Series directory, but you already said it's not there.
If all else fails, search your computer for the glory1.sav file.

SapienChavez: im NOT playing the GOG release, but this is how i do it. this might help.

i have DOSbox mount a virtual A: drive in its config file:

"mount a c:\floppy"

the file ended up in c:\floppy

JMich: The folder is hidden by default, either enable the showing of hidden folders, or type it in the address bar. You can also use the %localappdata% or %appdata% as address, which will take you to appdata\local or appdata\roaming respectively.

JMich: Windows Vista/7 with game installed in Program Files (x86) folder, and UAC enabled. The saved file will be stored in "C:\Users\{YOUR_USERNAME}\appdata\local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Quest for Glory Series\..."
Reason for that is that by default you do not have write permission on the Program Files folder, thus it will be stored in the VirtualStore directory. Either run the game(s) as administrator, or better yet, install to another location (C:\Games for example).

adorton: Has anybody tried saving a character in ScummVM? I just finished QFG1 EGA in ScummVM and I can't get it to export my character. I've tried several times under serveral filenames (even in c:). Despite several attempts, I can't find the .sav file.

Any ideas?

JMich: As was mentioned in another thread in this forum, it is possible that the file is located in the Appdata\Local\ScummVM or Appdata\Roaming\ScummVM. Let me see if I can find that post, though be aware that I have neither ScummVM nor the game pack installed atm.

adorton: I checked those locations, and all I have is a log file and scummvm's .ini file (both under roaming).

My ScummVM install directory does have a file called QFG1.000, which I believe is where the save games are kept. But that directory does not have the character file.

JMich: Coffee kicked in, so let's see if I can figure this one out.
I guess ScummVM is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\ScummVM", which is a UAC controlled location. By running it as a non-elevated user, anything that needs to be saved there will be saved in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\ScummVM" instead (quick shortcut is the "%localappdata%\VirtualStore" which will take you to the VirtualStore directory). Take a look if the files exist there, otherwise ask Arkadia since he found the files somewhere.
Hope this helps.

adorton: UAC is disabled, so my VirtualStore folder is empty.

It's not in the ScummVM install directory, which is the only other place it could be.

Calik: Have you not tried searching for .sav? That would be the easiest way. ctrl f in your folders should bring up a search bar then just type .sav and it should show up and give you the path as well.

I also have no idea why you'd choose to play the game in Scummvm, it comes preconfigured to run in dosbox.

Crossing_Swords: Hey guys, I struggled with the exporting thing as well. What worked for me was to save it without the c: and then go to the VGA folder of qfg1 and on your windows 7 folder bar it says "Compatible files" or "compatibility files", click on it and your saved games and export will be there. You just copy the export to your qfg2 root and that worked for me.
