Finding the save location for repacks can be tricky because it often depends on the specific emulator (like CODEX, Goldberg, or EMPRESS) used for that game's crack rather than a single fixed folder. Common Save Game Locations If you can't find your progress in the standard %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games folder, check these specific paths: Public Steam Documents : Often used by CODEX emulators. C:\Users\Public\Documents\Steam\CODEX AppData Roaming/Local
: Many modern cracks store data here under the emulator's name. %LOCALAPPDATA% Look for folders named ProgramData : Used for certain Ubisoft or older titles. C:\ProgramData\Orbit C:\ProgramData\
: Specifically for Skidrow cracks, check for a storage subfolder. C:\Users\

Finding the save location for repacks can be tricky because ElAmigos is a repacker, not a cracker. The save path depends on the emulator (crack) included in the repack (like RUNE, CODEX, or Goldberg) and the game itself. Common Save Locations for ElAmigos Repacks
Because ElAmigos often uses different cracks depending on the game, check these standard paths:
Documents Folder: Many modern games save directly to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\[Game Name].
AppData (Hidden Folder): This is the most common home for emulated saves.
Roaming: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\[Crack Name]\[AppID].
Local: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\[Game Name]\Saved\SaveGames. Overview
ProgramData (Hidden Folder): Often used for Ubisoft or older emulated titles, such as C:\ProgramData\Orbit\[GameID].
Game Installation Directory: Some emulators (like Ali213) store saves directly in the folder where you installed the game, often in a subfolder named Profile, Saves, or savegames. How to Identify Your Specific Save Path
Check the "Crack" Name: Look at the files in your game folder. If you see a file like SteamConfig.ini or RUNE.ini, open it with Notepad. It often lists the AccountId or a specific SavePath.
Search for Specific File Extensions: Open File Explorer and search your C:\Users folder for generic save extensions like .sav, .dat, or .bin.
Search for user.gls: A common tip for finding save folders in modern repacks is searching for user.gls in your file explorer.
Use PCGamingWiki: This is the most reliable resource. Look up the game on PCGamingWiki and find the "Save game data location" section. If the game uses Steam, look for the "Steam" path; for ElAmigos, the emulator will typically mirror that path but under an AppData or Documents subfolder for the crack.

If you’ve downloaded a game from ElAmigos, you know the quality: clean installs, optional cracks, and usually no launcher required. But when it comes time to back up a save, transfer progress to another PC, or apply a mod, the big question hits: Where did the save file go?
Unlike Steam or Epic Games, ElAmigos repacks don’t force a single save location. The folder depends on which crack was used during installation. Let’s break it down. Key considerations
Most common for: AAA titles from 2010–2020, especially Ubisoft and Bethesda games.
Windows’ official "Saved Games" folder is inside Documents. Look for:
Examples: ElAmigos releases of Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey save here.
Right-click the found file → “Open file location”. That’s the exact save directory for that repack.
| Game Title (Example) | Most Likely Path |
| :--- | :--- |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Steam\CODEX\1091500\remote |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | C:\Users\[User]\Documents\Rockstar Games\RDR2\Profiles |
| Elden Ring | C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\EldenRing |
| Hogwarts Legacy | C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\SaveGames |
| The Witcher 3 | C:\Users\[User]\Documents\The Witcher 3\gamesaves |
| Resident Evil 4 (Remake) | C:\Users\Public\Documents\Steam\RUNE\2050650\remote\win64_save |
| Street Fighter 6 | C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Street Fighter 6\Saved\SaveGames |
Before diving into the specific paths, it is important to understand why these save files are scattered. Elamigos does not develop a proprietary crack. Instead, the team packages the best available emulators and cracks. Therefore, the save location is dictated by the scene group that cracked the game, not by Elamigos itself.
Common sources include:
Because of this mix, you might find saves in your Documents folder, your AppData folder, or even inside the game’s own installation directory.
Path: C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\
Some FLT and older GOG-based Elamigos repacks use this location. Press Win + R, type %appdata%, and press Enter. Look for the game title or the developer’s name (e.g., DarkSoulsIII, Bethesda).
