Migrating Afterbirth save file to Afterbirth+
I had been searching for a way to move the AB save file to AB+ with no success. The import function of AB+ draws from the Rebirth saves and not the AB saves. Also, if you're like me, you disabled the cloud save funtion in the event you don't have internet and still want to continue to play where you left off.

The symptom is all in the file name. AB+ changes the naming convention.
-Go to C:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth
-Copy persistentgamedataX.dat
-Paste in C:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+
-Change filename persistentgamedataX.dat to abp_persistentgamedataX.dat
-Open options.ini in Notepad or Wordpad
-Set TryImportSave=0 and SteamCloud=0 and save
-Run game

**NOTE: This process is what worked for me after trial and error, narrowing down what files needed to be transferred. Not responsible for failed transfer or file corruption. Be sure to make a BACKUP of files before proceeding!
