You will probably find it will work better if you have your Cave Story folder outside of the Program Files folders.

I feel that the answer to that is simple: Curly was trying to flee the island, and failed (or maybe was on her way to Quote, who knows). Quote was going back to rescue Curly. Hell B1 is not something you can do in reverse. For Quote he wanted to go back into the island, but last cave was...

The hell narration can't be from Ballos, Misery, or Jenka, since they don't refer to themselves in the third person. The ghost dog couldn't be saying any of this to Quote, since he acts like Quote never heard any of that info. That leaves Balrog, who doesn't talk like that (though you would need...

I would just use a tool like CopyFilenames to copy the names of the files to your clipboard if on Windows and then paste into notepad. If on Linux then just copy the files and paste into a text file, then remove everything except the filename using search and replace. Change filename.org to...

The floating island thing is a common trope in sci-fi and fantasy. It is in no way exclusive to the Sonic franchise. Secondly... I suspect that the outer wall ghost cat was based on a teru teru bozu combined with a cat.

The song for this stage was written in 2002, so this is probably Pixel taking a map from the beta and reworking it. Since we don't know what parts are new and what parts are old, we can't really judge whether it is canon. Though if we were to assume it was canon then it doesn't really fit in...

I do have a solution for this on the troubleshooting page of the tribute site: https://www.cavestory.org/game-info/troubleshooting.php#bug11

Generally it is not something implemented to prevent save tampering, but rather to prevent save corruption. I've seen save checksums used for Gameboy games, and that never stopped anyone from cheating using a Gameshark. It's just a data integrity check. As for why this port and not any others...

Is this in the form of mojibake, or is it placeholder characters like □ or �?

How the hell is this brain numbing excuse for a thread still going a year later? I think it's time to nip this in the bud.

Well I've added Genderfluid and Plural to the dropdown, and a Gender Notes field, both in the user profile and in the post header (only if said field isn't empty mind you). Hopefully this is sufficient.
