I need assistance

[Megumeru]

So after a fresh reboot, my PC acted like a beech and--unfortunately--erased all my saves for KS (understandably. It is a reinstall after system crash).

Now, if you haven't read the VN then please evacuate this thread. If you have, please continue:
I need a few things because right now, I'm having a hard time to try to complete one of my fiction (I won't say which) and if possible I need it stat.

1. I need a COMPLETE SAVE of ALL THE ROUTES. This includes pictures, bgm, etc.
alternatively
2. a way to recover my saves. It should still be somewhere; my backup was made after I completed KS so it should still have my full-save...maybe. Problem is how to find and link it--would a reinstall work?
another alternative
3. I need a number of particular scenes (Lilly touching Hisao's face for the first time, wheat field, and scenes about her second leave)

...or I can just reread it again. I don't mind rereading it again--good fun--but the above are basically 'shortcuts'.

help...?


p.s.
if you're interested in being a proof-reader/editor or anything to do with my written work, feel free to drop a PM. Questions are welcomed too

I'm all for reading it all over again. Nothing beats a rereading and more episodes of fuzzy or heartbreaking feels.

With skip mode, strategic saving on each route, and a good memory of each path, you can probably net 100% in about an hour. Now, this is if you don't pause at certain scenes to squee.

Is speedrunning even a thing with VNs?

I laughed.

Sorry for not having anything useful to contribute. Personally, I would recommend you just reread. But I can definitely understand how that wouldn't be terribly convenient.

I don't know if this will actually work. But I think there's a program called "R undelete" which restores the previous stuff you've deleted permanently.

Recuva is also a tool to get back deleted files. You could always try.

[Megumeru]

I have the files now!

Thanks guys!

Buy a USB hard drive, and make a backup! If not for your KS save, for not having to rip all your CDs and stuff again!

Yeah, I should. Most of my stuff are installed on my external hard drive, but so is my backup.

At least it didn't went as bad as it was the last time. I lost an entire archive of three-years worth of scavenging and collecting Touhou doujins (non-H ones) and that was an experience would not find pleasure going through again.
