Hey everyone, I'm new here. (EDIT: Forgot to mention in the topic, this refers to Police Quest 1 from the Police Quest 1+2+3+4 bundle)
Just recently got Police Quest 1+2+3+4 and I was wondering where the save files are for Police Quest 1. I play on multiple computers, so being able to load save files onto an external hard disc or flash drive is somewhat essential for me.
I'll start from the beginning so I can explain what I've attempted already:
-Using a downloaded save file from the internet as reference, I figured out that the save files were a combination of files: PQ1SG.000, PQ1SG.0001, and PQ1SG.DIR
-I copied these files from my desktop to my external hard disc, copied them into the Police Quest 1 directory on my laptop, and my save files showed up fine.
-After playing a bit and making a few new save files on my laptop, I copied the same three files from my laptop over to my desktop, and, after backing them up, overwrote the old files.
-Upon starting up Police Quest 1, I still only had the two save files that were present when I had copied the files the first time. At this point, I had 19 saves on my laptop, yet only two were showing up on my desktop after the file transfer.
-Next, I copied the entire Police Quest folder from my laptop to my desktop. I renamed the already existing Police Quest folder to "Police Quest OLD" before placing the folder copied from my laptop into the Police Quest 1-2-3-4 directory. The issue persisted.
This is really stumping me, and even if savegames cannot be transferred, I'm really curious as to how exactly this works.
-Thanks.
