Super Mario 63 wont save

Hey guys,

I was playing SM63 on a different computer, copied the exe file, launched it on another and my save file doesn't exist. I did not check it on the other computer yet. I wont have access to it until tomorrow. Does the program create a remote save file?


Thanks.

SM63 saves, like every flash game, to a directory in AppData. It won't be saved if there is no space or the limit is too low.
Try rightclicking on the game, then click Settings, the Folder Symbol, and raise the limit.

Gort-cha, I assumed since it was an executable file and not a standard swf (or whatever the appropriate file extension is referred to these days) that it would write/read from the executable.

Is this the correct directory?
C:\Documents and Settings\Anthony\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\9NQ5DFPH\runouw.com\games\sm63\sm63game.swf
Is it true if you played it online saved, opened the executable program, it would load the save from this same directory? You would think the downloaded version would save in a different directory...

EDIT:
I checked and the save file shown in the directory listed above only applys to the downloaded executable. I launched the runouw.com version and it says no save file exists. So I have what I need thanks for the help!

EDIT2:
I deleted the file after copying it in a remote directory and the game still loads my save file! I am thinking that this is not the save file I need. Any ideas?

EDIT3:
I searched windows for the file name: SuperMarioSunshine128SavedFile
In addition to finding this directory
C:\Documents and Settings\Anthony\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\9NQ5DFPH\runouw.com\games\sm63\sm63game.swf
I found this directory
C:\Documents and Settings\Anthony\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\9NQ5DFPH\www.runouw.com\games\sm63\sm63game.swf

I copied both save files and deleted the originals. Launched the game and my save file is still showing up. So for the exicutable flash version the save file IS NOT in application data.

Anyone know where it could be??? >_>
Thanks

EDIT4: THE DEADINING
I FOUND IT!
For anyone wondering you can find it here:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\9NQ5DFPH\localhost\Documents and Settings\Anthony\My Documents\Downloads\sm63game.exe
This is the filename: SuperMarioSunshine128SavedFile.sol
It did not come up in a search, I had to search sm63 to get that far.

Thanks for all the help!

If that happens, you can just type cheat on main menu, toggle cheats on, and toggle the sprites and coins you have on the star map.

Also, remember to save your file if you do that. :/
