Is it possible to use a Ys Origins PC save on the Switch?

I tried to make a backup on the switch, copy the backup on PC and see if the saves were similar and out of of the 5 files 3 were identical (record.tp, record.ta2 and yso_00.bin), I checked them with HxD. Now the PC GOG version has a config.ini and yso_win.ini meanwhile the switch version has a saveEvent and saveOption files.

My guess is that saveEvent is the config.ini because the config.ini has inside EnvPosX=131 and EnvPosY=320 which should be the save statue location, meanwhile the saveOption should be the yso_win.ini because inside that are all the settings: resolution, graphic settings, audio setting, button mapping and more.

Do you think it's possible to somehow make them work?

I'll attach both my saves to see if some of you can help me.

Backup savedata of YS Origins on Switch, rename PC's yso_00.bin to yso_01.bin, copy the renamed file to the backup, restore savedata. It should work just fine. Works for me with PS4 and Vita save. FYI, the game will be crashed when being on the main menu if you just overwritten the yso_00.bin or other files.

didn't work for me. instead of the game crashing on the menu now it crashes when I try to open the save. Somehow it doesn't recognize the location that I'm in. Instead of Demonic Core it says OLD_SAVED_SCENE.

It loads my ps4 and vita savedata that way. I don't have PC save, I won't be sure whether it will load.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
