+\section {Savegames}
+Savegames are by default put in the current directory on some platforms and
+preset directories on others. You can specify the save in the config file by
+setting the savepath parameter. See the example config file later in this
+readme.
+
+The platforms that currently have a different default directory are:
+%
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Mac OS X: \verb#$HOME/Documents/ScummVM Savegames/#
+\item Other unices: \verb#$HOME/.scummvm/#
+\end{itemize}
+%
+You can also use the environment variable SCUMMVM\_SAVEPATH to specify where to
+put save games. Don't forget the trailing directory separator. Also be aware
+that saved games may break between ScummVM releases.
+
+Bash (Unix) example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ export SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH=/tmp/scummvm_savegames/
+\end{verbatim}
+Windows example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ set SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH=C:\saved_games\
+\end{verbatim}
