I saw this mentioned in a walkthrough and again here: http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/downloads_2.php
It mentions there being a profile.dat which is your saved game data which, rather than overwrite, you can simply rename to conserve if you ever want to restore your old saved game, and then either paste a preexisting one (to play others' games) or simply play from the beginning to get a new one.
I basically... have air tank laments and want to replay it and get the best ending, but I want to keep a copy of my old game since I had saved right before Misery/Doctor and all that. But I simply can't find any file named profile.dat
I am playing the 'Cave Story Deluxe' version. Is it possible that in this release it was renamed as something else or made inaccessible?
For that matter, the 290.rec file which changes the background is also gone. This is something I'm interested in messing with since even though I do want to unlock them via Sacred Grounds legit, it would be nice to be able to switch between different backgrounds at whim later on.
That's another reason I would like to be able to replace the saves, because I could do it at decision-making points (such as whether or not to give back the Mimiga Mask) and be able to save later on without needing to replay the game each time I want to hear different dialogue.
