Copying saved games between different OS versionselmarko11/12/2009 - 12:46

Greetings!

I have WOG for Mac, my friend has WOG for PC. Is there any way I can copy his saved game files from his Docs and Settings folder over to my Mac? If the data files are the same format, where would I put them in my OS X file structure.

Thanks in advance!

Yeas there is. ;)

1. Download and install GooTool on both computers.
2. Create goofans account.
3. Run GooTool on Windows and backup his profile using GooTool to your/his goofans account.
4. Run GooTool on Mac and restore his profile.

I think the files are encrypted differently. PC uses AES, Mac uses custom XOR.

@Pavke: Wouldn't reencrypting the profiles work? It's better to do things without creating an account on a website.

Yes, that too would work. :)
I just thought this was easier. When you backup a profile gootool stores it in its decrypted format and when you restore your profile gootool checks what OS do you have and and uses corresponding encryption.
