I've a few additions to the Griever save file format (ala PSX) it should be relatively easy to migrate to the PC (minor changes).
Code: [Select]
Have fun .. with this .. the changes are realtively small but make it easier to read. the information bit fields still have a way to go.. namely I have to go through the game and watch every tutorial and do everything in the game etc. (sigh).
