↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to <path-to-game>/cloud_saves/ even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in the cloud_saves folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).

Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1904551/.
- Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (1904551) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
