Detecting if Save File Exists in Conditional Branch

[Culex]

So I'm trying to escape the traditional RPG Maker XP title screen layout. Now here's my problem. How can you detect if a save file (any save file) exists within a conditional branch? I thought about setting a variable to Save Count, but then I realized that's for the amount of times you've saved the current game. I figured scripting was involved, so I tried this:

if FileTest.exist?("Save#{i+1}.rxdata")

...within the scripting function available for the conditional branch command, but the error is that the i is not defined. So, I tried doing this within a script patch before the branch (remember that bit within Scene_Title?):

for i in 0..3
      if FileTest.exist?("Save#{i+1}.rxdata")
        @continue_enabled = true
      end
    end

...I tried basing the conditional branch on whether or not @continue_enabled was true, but that didn't work either.

Again, my question is, how can you detect if a save file exists within a conditional branch? Thank you for your time.

Off-topic: I figured since my problem was within an Edit Event page and not the Scripting Database, that it would be okay to post this topic under RMXP General Support. If I'm wrong and it's not in the right place, well, you know what to do.

You mean like this ?

File 1:

FileTest.exist?('Save1.rxdata')

File 2:

FileTest.exist?('Save2.rxdata')
