You will need to use Horizon to resign my game saves in order to use them on your system, as per this information. Also, all saves are for the U.S. region unless otherwise stated, and "virgin save" means the save puts you at the start of the game with very little to no progress made, but with cheats added.

Please don't link directly to any files on this page; just link to this page itself. Thanks. All saves provided here on Spook Central have been "BLANKED" in Brute Force Save Data so that they are not tied to any specific account. However, some games refuse to load blank saves, so you may need to resign them to your own profile using Bruteforce Save Data or some other such resigning program in order to use them. Also, all saves are for the U.S. region unless otherwise stated, and "virgin save" means the save puts you at the start of the game with very little to no progress made, but with cheats added.

Windows Software

Here are some useful Windows programs that are either no longer bring developed, or are needed for a guide I have on GameFaqs. I have archived the old programs here for all to enjoy. I have tested all of these programs in 64-bit Windows 7, so they should work in newer versions of Windows, too, but I make no guarantees. Registration information and patches is provided with the programs that were originally shareware in order to enable all features, as there would be no point in preserving this software otherwise. Some of these "registration patches" my trigger your anti-virus program, but that is a false positive. Everything here is clean of viruses.
