Save game file is usually located in the same directory as your Cave Story executable file.
It is called ‘Profile.dat’

If you have a Steam version of Cave Story+ installed then open Steam and go to your Library.
Right-click the game and select ‘Properties’ from the context menu.
In the ‘Properties’ window, go to the ‘Local Files’ tab and click ‘Browse Local Files’.

To open a Profile.dat go to File → Open... menu.

Also you can load resources in order to see game sprites and maps.

Select one of these files according to your version of the game:

• Cave Story (freeware) — Doukutsu.exe
• Cave Story+ — stage.tbl
• NXEngine/NXEngine-evo — stage.dat
• Doukutsu-rs/CSE2E — mrmap.bin

One of these files should be located in the game folder or in the ‘data’ subfolder.

You can load them via File → Load Game Resources... menu.

If you’re having issues with the game text (e. g. map names), you can try to change its encoding in the Settings.

This editor only works with vanilla profiles, meaning that any mod with custom profiles will not work.
