Retro Rewind - Store Transfer

The use of this tool comes at your own risk; there are backups made and checks on checks.

I cannot guarantee it will work on every save. Testing was done on my save and a save provided by Kornfan1215. Massive thank you to them :)

Retro Rewind: Store Transfer

Transfer your Video Store layout between save files — furniture, special objects, TVs, and store style — without having to rebuild everything by hand.

Ever spent hours arranging your store exactly how you want it, only to start a new save and realize you have to do it all over again?

Store Transfer is a tool for Retro Rewind that lets you copy your store layout from one save to another.

✨ What does it do?

Store Transfer can transfer your store's placed objects from one save to another, including:

• []🛋️ Furniture and decorations [/]

  []📺 Televisions [/]

  []🧊 Fridges [/]

  []🍿 Snack shelves [/]

  []🍬 Candy dispensers [/]

  []🕹️ Arcade machines [/]

  []🖼️ Posters and display objects [/]

  []🧱 Walls, floors and ceiling styles [/]

  []🎨 Store style / appearance [/]

The tool works with the game's save data directly rather than requiring you to manually recreate your store.

📦 Blueprint System

You can also save your store layout as a Blueprint.

Blueprints let you create a reusable

.rrblueprintfile containing your selected store content.

When creating a blueprint you can choose:

Export Furniture

Copies the furniture and other transferable store objects.

Export Store Style

Copies the store's wall, floor and ceiling styling.

Both options are enabled by default, but you can turn either one off when creating a blueprint.

Blueprints can then be imported into another save.

---

🛡️ Allow List System

Store Transfer uses an allow-list rather than blindly copying every object found in a save.

This is intentional.

If the game adds new objects in a future update that the tool doesn't understand yet, they won't automatically get exported and risk corrupting a blueprint or target save.

This makes the transfer system much safer when dealing with unknown or newly added game objects.

💾 Save Safety

The tool performs health checks on saves and blueprints before completing operations.

It is designed to avoid blindly importing data that doesn't match the expected structure.

Always keep backups of your save files.

🎨 Customizable Interface

The application includes:

• []Multiple retro-inspired colour palettes [/]

  []Customizable fonts [/]

  []Retro-styled menus [/]

  []Sliding save and blueprint selection menus [/]

  []Store settings [/]

  []Custom save and blueprint folder locations [/]

  []Blueprint creation without the standard Windows Save dialog [/]

The default colour palette is 60s Mod.

🤖 Built With AI

This project was developed with AI assistance.

A large part of the development process involved using AI to:

• []Analyze the game's save structure [/]

  []Reverse-engineer save data [/]

  []Compare working and broken save files [/]

  []Identify object serialization formats [/]

  []Develop and debug the transfer system [/]

  []Build the blueprint system [/]

  []Diagnose save corruption and missing objects [/]

  []Develop the WPF user interface [/]

  []Troubleshoot C# compilation errors [/]

  []Test and refine the save import/export process [/]

AI was used as a development and reverse-engineering assistant, not as a replacement for testing.

The transfer system has been tested against real game saves, including cases where objects initially appeared to transfer correctly but were subsequently removed by the game during its own save process.

⚠️ Important

This tool modifies game save data.

Back up your saves before using Store Transfer or importing a Blueprint.

Although health checks and validation are built into the tool, no save editor can guarantee compatibility with every future game update.

If a future game update introduces new furniture or save structures, those objects may remain excluded until they are specifically supported.
