**Solved** Same savegame file for multidisc games. (Linux)
-
While tinkering around with a multidisc game, I wanted to keep the same save file for each disc, and I didn't want to have to copy the original Save file and rename it every time.
My solution was to open the command line , and navigate to where the save files were and create symbolic links. Whereas, normally, each disc gets its own *.srm file for the save game, (EX: disc1.srm, disc2.srm, etc) I found that using a symbolic link to the disc1.srm file allowed all discs to read from the disc1.srm save file.
So, if you have 4 discs for example, you can create the original save file on disc 1, then (once in the same folder as the save files) type ln -s disc1.srm disc2.srm, ln -s disc1.srm disc3.srm , etc.
When you load disc 2, 3, 4; the game should load whatever save data is in the disc1.srm file.
Hope this helps!
