Game Saves for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version of Shining Force

Game Saves? What are those?

Did you accidentally delete your saved game in Shining Force 1 (on Genesis/Mega Drive)? Do you want to skip certain parts of the game? Whatever the case may be, these game saves are here to save the day! With them, you can continue at any major point in Shining Force.

How do I use these game saves?

These game saves are in “GS0” format. They can only be used with Kega Fusion and Gens on Windows. They're not supported on any other emulator or emulators on Android. Sorry about that! Blame the programmers for not making a universal save format.

Directions

To load a GS0 file, with Kega Fusion or Gens you do it via the File menu; as shown here. But if you need step-by-step directions on how to use game saves, check out my tutorial: Game Saves Tutorial.
