Save format directory / Verified relationships

Find tools by save format.

Browse file and save-container hubs tied to existing active Tools. Format pages explain the boundary between a recognizable wrapper, a filename extension, and a genuinely verified game or emulator profile.

01 / Format safety

An extension is not a compatibility guarantee.

Files that share .sav, .srm, .json, or .sl2 can still use unrelated schemas, checksums, encryption, byte order, account binding, or container layouts. SaveEditor keeps those boundaries explicit.

Verified relation

A Tool is linked only after its existing support state is verified and operational.

Preserve originals

Format recognition never removes the need for an untouched backup before edits or conversion.

Profile beats extension

Game/emulator-specific profiles remain narrower than generic filename matching.

02 / Browse formats

Choose the actual file family.

Phase 43 seeds 36 conservative hubs from formats already handled by verified Tools. Empty administrator-added terms remain noindex until active Tool evidence exists.

Structured text & data

Human-readable or delimited structures used by verified local file workflows.

JSON Save Files

JSON-based save and configuration files. A .json extension does not prove a specific game schema; use only a Tool whose support notes match the file.
