 FAQ
-----------
Q: What are "clean" save files?
A: These only contain the listed changes and are untouched from things like high-score data. Settings are kept to their default values unless stated otherwise.

Q: How can I import these save files?
A: The easiest way is via cafe-alpha's Save Data Manager which can be found in the Pseudo Saturn Kai release archive. Once it's extracted, browse to the "tools" folder and burn "pskai_sdm.iso" to a blank CD-R or transfer it to the ODE of your choice. Then, launch the utility on your Saturn, select "Save Data Import" from the main menu, browse to the folder named "PRIVATEYE" and import your desired save(s). 

Users of Satiator Menu Kai don't require "pskai_sdm.iso" as Save Data Manager comes included; to access it, press the left shoulder button in the disc image selection menu and select "Save Data Manager". After that, press B twice to go to the "Select Device" menu and then select CD-ROM -> SAVES -> PRIVATEYE

 * The highest attainable rank in the vanilla versions of the game (v1.002 and v1.005) is "General of the Army" (990 points) and loading this save file in either version does not change that.
