What is an SV4 file?

SV4 files mostly belong to RollerCoaster Tycoon. SV4 files are specific game save files used to store in-game progress and configurations.
Most of these files come from RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, recording park layouts, ride details, and financial data.
Some SV4 files serve for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, holding similar saved game information.

Game State Data: They contain data on park design, ride configurations, and gameplay progress.

Binary Structure: The files are in a binary format that requires the game engine to interpret.

Version Specificity: Small structural differences exist between RC2 and RC3 versions.

FilExt.com note: Open these files using the official game software or a trusted save file editor. For additional details on the RC3 save format, refer to this resource.
