Daft question - Can PC save file work with Mac?

Post by Davemak »

Thinking about getting a MacBook Pro, and want to know if I can use my Commander from the Windows version on the new laptop running the Mac OS version? Don't want to start from scratch if I can help it :shock:

Yes it should work, provided you use the same expansion packs as well (actually that's only necessary if your own ship is from an expansion pack).

Thanks Giles - thats good news. Haven't changed the ship yet as I don't want to lose my NEU :?
Have quite a few oxp's running so I can copy them all over.

This nicely answers my question... I was thinking that a PPC port could be good, so from this I assume that Linux/Doze/Mac save files are as universal as OXPs and that a PPC version could also use them all?

As in PocketPC? Well, if there’s GNUStep, SDL and OpenGL, it should be possible.
