This version of the Saved Game Manager understands a number of Transport Tycoon game formats. These are:

| SV2 | Transport Tycoon (Original) Multiplayer Saved Game |
| SV0 | Transport Tycoon - World Editor Scenario |
| SV1 | Transport Tycoon Deluxe Saved Game |
| SV0 | Transport Tycoon Deluxe Scenario |
| SV2 | Transport Tycoon Deluxe Multiplayer Saved Game |
| SS1 | Transport Tycoon Deluxe "New Game" Saved Game - All Climates [NOTE: An example of this would be the Scotland, 1956 game supplied on the TTD CD-ROM. These are games that appear in the New Game list.] |

| CSG | Compressed Saved Games v1 [NOTE: These are files compressed with the Compress option in earlier versions of the Saved Game Manager. They must be decompressed with the Saved Game Manager before use. For technical information on this file format, click here.] |
| CSG | Compressed Saved Games v2 [NOTE: These are files compressed with the Compress option in Saved Game Manager 2.0 or higher. They are backwards compatible with CSG v1, but contain more detailed game information, such as date, money and so on. They must be decompressed with the Saved Game Manager before use.

At the time of writing (30/7/2001), games saved with TTDPatch, a useful patch for Transport Tycoon Deluxe written by Josef Drexler, may have a different filename or extension system. If this is the case, an update will be provided at the Transport Tycoon Saved Game Manager web site that supports these files properly.
The Manager will work with games saved with the Windows version of TTD. If you try to load a game saved with the Windows version in the DOS version, it won't work. You can use the Manager to make Windows games compatible with the DOS version - select the game (or make a copy of it and select the copy), choose to rename the game, but don't type in a new name - just press OK. The game should now work fine in either the DOS version or the Windows version.
