So how could it possibly be that I don’t want the same config on a game that old, as opposed to Syberia 3? Well, my desktop has a gamepad and my laptop does not. ![]() It stores saves and config in the same directory, with the game. So it’s still worthless for simple sync even after spending a couple of minutes to find it.Īnother example of the same format is Hocus Pocus. You start in the game dir, move on to the likes of AppData and My Documents, maybe UserData? Local Settings? Where’s the stupid savegame hiding?! C:\Users\frans\Saved Games? No, that’s some Darksiders thing… Ah, found it. Monkey 4 does happen to use an Escape from Monkey Island/Saves subdirectory, so that would be a simple one to sync. On a more modern game you might be able to set that up with relative ease, especially on platforms with easy symbolic linking, but you can’t just put a program that expects executable, config and saves in the same directory on Dropbox/Syncthing because of the differing config. You can just use generic cloud sync tools instead. The latter two have been subsumed by my current thin, light laptop that’s roughly on par with my proper '09 laptop as far as most performance goes, except it’s much much lighter and the battery lasts longer. That’s desktop, proper laptop, and netbook. In fact I probably did very little savegame sharing at all except for ScummVM, which ran equally well on all three of my systems. I’ve been using Dropbox for (some) ScummVM saves since 2010 (?), for example, and Unison in a much more limited form (as far as savegames go) probably since '07 when I built my first/third desktop. ![]() We shared (some) savegames, custom levels/tracks, and high scores on 3.5" disks, so I’ll stick to “always.” The main difference in my case is that I’ve had two or three computers just for me for “only” a little over a decade, so it’s become pertinent to be able to switch over from playing at my desktop to lying down on the couch (or whatever) since then, at least if the game runs well on both systems. It’s not what we have always done but we are doing now. ![]()
