Game Save Folder Locator
Compare supplied save-location catalogs by stable record ID, retaining path and provenance differences without choosing a preferred location.
The problem it solves
Game Save Folder Locator Database Game Save Folder Locator Database provides a validated, community-editable format and local search tool for game-save path templates. Records are separated by game, operating system, platform or store, path type, source URL, and verification date so conflicting installations remain visible instead of being collapsed into one guess.
Who Game Save Folder Locator is for
- Players who want practical, local tools for libraries, saves, settings, or planning.
- Users working with gaming, save files, paths who want the documented v1.2.0 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result
Compare supplied save-location catalogs by stable record ID, retaining path and provenance differences without choosing a preferred location.

Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
Before running these source commands, download the v1.2.0 source archive, extract it, and open a terminal in the extracted project folder containing README.md. Follow the tagged README for required runtimes and any platform-specific setup.
python -m pip install .
save-folder-locator --catalog examples/catalog.json --game "North Road"
save-folder-locator --catalog examples/catalog.json --os windows --format jsonThe packaged catalog contains nine sourced documented defaults. examples/catalog.json demonstrates the contribution format with an explicitly fictional game. Useful growth depends on reviewed contributions with reproducible sources; see docs/CONTRIBUTING_RECORDS.md.
The tool does not scan a computer, expand environment variables, access cloud saves, or claim that every installation follows a documented default. Paths may change with game versions, stores, portable installations, compatibility layers, or user configuration. Requires Python 3.10 or newer.
