came back to this game after months of break and i'm having issues with the save files. is it possible to use a save file from ~r28 in the new versions? i keep getting missing files error and the link to the savefile updater in one of the post is invalid
To load into the game with such an old save, all you need to do is take the missing files from the old version, both the .png AND the .rpgmvp, and move them to the same folder in the new version.
But, like Arch said, this doesn't fix the save. You'll still need to do a New Game Plus anyway.
Up to you if that's worth it.
