Can you load vanilla* saves into PRBoom+?

[Dr Dust]

I have a save on Vanilla DOOM and it worked perfectly on Crispy DOOM but I can't seem to load saves into PRBoom+. Can't find any internet help either. Also, I saved on some random place and the save didn't have its own file, are saves internal on PRBoom+?

No. PrBoom adds data for its Boom features to many game structures, so their internal representation is no longer compatible.

This applies to most ports. The strict vanilla compatible ports are the sole exception here.

Save files will be in the application directory (or in ~/.prboom-plus on Mac/Linux), named prboom-plus-savegame0.dsg and so on.
