/vr/ - Retro Games

Planning to eventually get one, but I am more excited for what is basically the Dreamcast version of that.... if it ever sees the light of day.

Yeah, I had about 8 or so PS1 memcards to hold all of my game's saves while I barely needed more than two Dreamcast VMUs, but at least the PS1 memcards didn't make the retarded-ass decision to use two expensive CR2032 batteries while making the device drain them in under a year. Yes, it didn't need the batteries to keep your saves thank fucking god, but it made the entire rest of the memorycard's features completely useless, AND it they had the brilliant fucking idea to make it annoyingly BEEP at you every time you boot up your Dreamcast with one inserted that has dead batteries.

ALMOST as stupid as how they handled the battery/saves on the Sega Saturn.... almost.

Shame that the modern N64 memcard replacement is utter trash though. It costs just as much as that PS1 memcard.... but it's only feature is that it does not need a battery to keep your saves (You know, that easily replicable CR2032 the N64 Memory Paks had). That's it, it otherwise functions EXACTLY like a 30 year old N64 memorycard. No MicroSD, no additional space, nothing. Just $40 for a 30 year old memorycard that does not require a battery. I don't know how the fuck they are justifying that ripoff when this PS1 memcard is the same price and does shitloads more.

Here’s your memory card bro
