I know SaveState is the cross platform saving thingy for Monkey and that HTML5 has a 1Mb limit, what is the limit on all other platforms?

I think its the same but might be wrong.

When I researched this for Crime Solitaire I seem to think the limit for iOS was less than 1MB, but I can't remember specifically. This was well over a year ago but I had all sorts of hassle with it, like, if the data contains a Chr(0) anywhere, it fails on some targets (definitely HTML5, and I think iOS too). I ended up converting all of my save data to string format before saving.

ah ok guys @GfK: thanks for the heads up on the Chr(0) problem, will have to handle that one too.

Wow, a whole Megabyte? Really!? Blimey, I've been keeping things as small as I could, but never imagined I could actually have an entire megabyte to play with. That's actually a whole lot better than I imagined! Hmmm...
