What is an SV6 file

SV6 files mostly belong to RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. SV6 files are game save files that hold the complete state of a RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 session. They record park layouts, ride configurations, guest data, and financial details in a binary format that the game engine reads.
In some instances, SV6 files have been used as save files for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 as well, linked to the Six Flags RCT2 approach. The file structure is proprietary and is not intended for direct modification outside the game environment.

Purpose: Store game progress and park designs.
Usage: Open them using RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (or compatible versions) via the in-game load feature.
Format: A binary save format that protects game state data.
Modding: Some enthusiasts have reverse-engineered the internal structure for custom modifications.
