A while back, I asked if any of the OG savers from the early scene, 2004 to 2008-ish, were still around. I was looking for a way to revive, recollect, and polish the old sets we all used to use, float around, and hold onto. Back when charging for loading pops was the norm, the exclusive ones, especially the JAP saves, were guarded and shared among a few people. I lost all mine to a hard drive failure years ago, so I've been rebuilding the collection from community members and from sites that no longer exist. It now has a home, cleaned up and organized the way the old days never were: GitHub: https://github.com/SafeLightDev/game-saves Discord, game saves channel: SafeLight.Dev Free to download, no sign-up How I'm doing it: Every set is vetted and tested before it goes up. Every set has its own README that explains exactly how that set works, because they're all different. If the original author left a README or I knew who made the set, their credit stays with it. If I didn't, it goes up uncredited. Where a set has a real order, I follow the order a real player earned things, based on their online timestamps. First one is up: Tengai Makyou Ziria (JAP), 1,000 G, in legit order, plus a single load pop for anyone who doesn't care about order. I've already been through the safe sets here, and there's still plenty out there that a lot of people don't know exists, especially in the PAL and JAP worlds. Those are the ones I most want to get out. If you've got sets on a drive, DM me, and I'll test and write them up. If you recognize your work in the repo, tell me how you want to be credited. If something doesn't work, tell me which set and what happened. There's no reason to hoard anymore. Let's all be friends, share, and make some new things.
