Description
Some of the games are sharing savegames slots. If one of them tries to load the wrong savegame, created by a completely different game, it crashes. For example, Knight's Quest Demo and The Legend of the Lost Jewel Demo share slots.

I discovered what happened. Their ids receive an incremental number, so when I removed a one of the games, their saves appeared on the next one I added.

Same problem happens with other games, like the King's Quest V CD and floppy version that share a base id, but have incompatible saves.

I guess at least the major commercial versions should have a unique id (for example, KQ5CD for the CD version).

Well, it shouldn't be crashing but reporting an error on the console. Do you get any such message?
comment:6 by , 14 years ago
Yes, "This saved game was created with a different version of the game, unable to load it".

But, in some games, it leads to a crash right after the message:
lookupSelector(): Attempt to send to non-object or invalid script. Address was 0000:0000!

If I attempt restore a wrong savegame inside Cascade Quest, after the message it starts to behave in a weird manner, the cursor stops responding, etc.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Since they get detected with different id's, they should have different saves.
