No, I don't think so. That's a bug. Saves should be compatible between versions.
Aw, that's painful. Thanks for the reply.
NP. Losing progress sucks horribly. If I lost my current save, I'd be PISSED!
Edit: Guess what, my laptop crashed and the save data was wiped. As I said, I'm pretty pissed. I had all girls, over 160M pearls, and all items. That was a lot of work!
