The Carnivores *.SAV files are saved games, containing the hunter's name, points, settings, and trophies. These files are always exactly 1631 bytes long.
File name[]
All saved games are named according to the pattern "trophy0#.sav", where # is a number between 0 and 5, corresponding to each game slot.
