I think they are just files, that have ID's in it.Don't worry. go ahead and make it.
i am no lawyer but i would say they are not.
Okay thanks for your help!Gamefaqs and a dozen other sites (including here) hosted them for decades, the former tending to be rather anti piracy (which did lead to amusing scenarios on the DS but I will skip that one).
Generally save data is a combination of user created data and any company data is unlikely to meet any kind of creativity threshold to get copyright protections -- a list of stats for an RPG character is not really anything. Worst case scenario in general is someone draws a trademarked logo in a game that supports such things, and I have never heard of anybody getting in trouble for that. There might be some exceptions like Daigasso Band Brothers which had a massive save for DLC of a sort but that would be a case by case basis.
If said saves trouble online games somehow then that can make some people upset. Here though online games have been dead in an official capacity for years so there is not even that.
Basically if your goal is the classic "all levels unlocked, all items unlocked, max money/items, start with X, use this save to do this challenge run..." style save database then you should be fine.
i am gonna elaborate on my answerI think they are just files, that have ID's in it.
Yeah. I looked at a save file and most of them are just 512KB.i am gonna elaborate on my answer
they usually don't have stuff like the intellectual propriety of the developers, i mean like music, art, videos etc, textures, code of the game, or designed maps.
they USUALLY only have stored info about what you unlocked, stats, stuff that you got, your location and plenty of other stuff that are related to your progress..
sharing game saves had always been allowed in all places.. i don't see why it should make a problem, unless for some weird reason the developers programmed the game in a way that would store complete stuff from the rom into the save, instead of where you are and where is stuff, what you defeated and etc in that map.
