I used BackupBuddy for years to completely back up my Palm device to my PC. It saves everything, including application data. When I was a new Palm user, I didn't realize that HotSync was very limited in what it saved. I learned the hard way that you need another backup program to prevent disaster.

They are good file browsers and all around utilities to have.

They aren't just a 'save game saver'.

But are there any plans to implament a fishtycsavegame.pdb file or the like for future updates? Or at least, are there any freeware backup utilities that do the job, perhaps InnerBackup (sorry folks, but this one only seems to be at palmgear.com-hey, not my fault)?
Thanks.

LDW has started creating a separate savegame file for all of their new releases, but it's my guess that LDW is not in a hurry to implement that change in their existing games.

As long as we're on the topic of game saves and save portability...it would be nice if they were to use the same file format and name on the Pocket PC version and the future Windows version so that you can port your fishies back and forth. You know: work at your home PC while watching them, then pop them back onto your Pocket PC when you know you're going out to some BORING meeting and instead of taking notes (which is what people will THINK you are doing), you'll be managing the fishies!

That would require that the Windows and PPC versions be identical, and they're not. There are more "thingies" in the Windows version, which have to be stored in the savegame file. Take a look at the Windows version screenshots and notice all of the new tank ornaments, the seahorse, the snail - you get the idea!

I can dream, can't I?

Well as long as they're making an improved product, I guess that's worth missing out on portability. I look forward to the Windows product. Will be a nice companion to Excel and Word.

Which version did you buy, and where did you purchase it?
