Talk:Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper

Two things, I would like to note.

First, in my saves folder, there are only the thumbnails. Perhaps the game stores the data within the pictures ? Second, the game hoards the whole Roaming/Games-folder for itself. Result from Tree:

e:\Roaming\Games>tree

Edit: We really need some formatting here.

Yes this game stores saves inside jpg files concatenating actual compressed save data at the end:

> binwalk save_1.jpg
DECIMAL       HEXADECIMAL     DESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0             0x0             JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01
9137          0x23B1          Zlib compressed data, default compression

Actually many old Frogware games do that. And I think I've seen such trick in other games too but very rarely.

%appdata%\Games is not "hoarded" by just this game. It's used by several Frogware games, at least these ones:

• Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened - Remastered
• Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper
• Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis - Remastered
• Dracula: Origin

Including localized folders for those games.

In later games they switched to %appdata%\Frogwares folder.

Thank you for the confirmation.
