Note, the following instructions relate only to the Palm version. The Pocket PC version has a separate savegame file that can be manually moved around.
1) Go to preferences and "pause" the game
2) Use a utility such as "Backup Buddy"or "Backup Man" (make sure to check the setting for "save unsaved preferences" so that this is enabled) and backup the device completely. BZBackup (Botzum Backup)has also been suggested in these forums.
3) Restore all the above data to your new device (which of course means doing a full restore to the new device).
4) Unpause the game

Carla,
Is there a way to save a game file so that you can restore to it later? I've looked but can't find the data file that has the game info in it.

Ok... where's the save file for the Pocket PC? I can't find it anywhere. I looked in the folder and all that's there is the executeable.

On non-english devices, check in the Windows folder on your device. That is the last-resort where the program will create one if it has trouble creating one elsewhere. Otherwise it should be in Program Files->Fish Tycoon on the device.
The file is called: FishSaveGame.pts

I could not do that from T3 to T5. Due to no backup software works on T5 as yet. What I did is copy/beam Fish Tycoon and "Unsave Preferences" from T3 to T5. This still not working.

Those two programs, as well as several others, are available from Handango (or your favorite Palm application site). They come in a range of prices and features.

Do they only apply to backing up games or are they applicable to other programs as well?
Anyone know?
