I downloaded the program, did what I was told but I still cannot get into the game. I think the problem is not corrupted savefiles.

What do you think is the issue? If you have any idea, consider sharing it with me

heres some steps you could try: (if you are not on windows, read the last sentance of that comment)

  1. download python (from https://python.org/ or the microsoft store) if you havent installed it yet
  2. download the repo as zip
  3. extract the zip on your pc
  4. open the .py file that you can find in the folder of extracted files with a text editor (you can use any text editor that writes .txt files, so dont use libreoffice, microsoft office, openoffice or something like that, but the windows default notepad will work, or you can use windows ) to do that: right click on the file -> open with -> notepad (or any other file that can edit .txt files, aka raw files)
  5. find that line of code (there is not many lines in the file):
    decompressed_data = decompressed_data.replace(b'><', b'> <', 50)
  6. remove the , 50 at the end of the line but DONT REMOVE ANYTHING ELSE, DOUBLE-CHECK WHAT YOU MADE, ONLY REMOVE , 50 NOT THE ) OR THE ' !
  7. save the file
  8. run the file with python (right click on the file -> open with -> python)

if it still gaves that error, and you are on macos, fixing may not work since gd windows savefiles encryption is different than the gd macos savefile encryption...
