[Anonymous No.8609361]

Can’t relate, I had the superior gen 5 system

[Anonymous No.8609401]

>>8609209
I would borrow games but on the day I was supposed to bring it back I would legitimately forget as my memory sucks. This happened all the time. Made me look like a bad borrower but to my credit I never was a thief. Always eventually brought things back. Anyways thanks for reading my blog.

>ps3 memory card adapter
Genuinely had no clue this existed. Did this exist by the time MGS4 released? Psycho Mantis in that game comes back as a ghost and as a nod to his appearance on the PS1, there's a joke involving him losing his power to read minds because the PS3 uses an internal hard drive as opposed to memory cards. Wonder if that cutscene plays out differently if you have MGS1 data on a memory card and plug it in there. It's always nice when you see game companies supporting legacy controllers/peripherals.

all 3 main gen 5 systems had memory cards

[Anonymous No.8609450]

>>8609435
Saturn had RAM carts but saved to internal memory by default. No need to buy a memory card with the console.

[Anonymous No.8609453]

its too bad these go for like eighty bucks these days

I got mine two weeks ago for $60 after taxes. It is so cool and it would be nice if Nintendo made nifty quality items like it. One thing I want someone to make is a new Negcon controller.

Can you buy a Saturn chink cart that will let you play games off of it?

[Anonymous No.8609474]

>>8609472
you can either buy a pre modded action replay cart or flash your own using a disc swap trick, and then you can use that to play burnt CDs

Get the MemCard Pro and a microSD card. Don’t worry about memory cards.

[Anonymous No.8609501]

>>8609493
I would of if it worked with PS2 games, but it doesn't.

[Anonymous No.8609505]

>>8609478
there's some ODE but i don't know anything about it

[Anonymous No.8609516]

>>8609501
for me backing up psx saves onto a ps2 card is more than enough, you can fit hundreds into a single 8mb card
i only wish the ps2 allowed saving directly into a ps2 card from a psx game

Lol, have you ever had a Saturn?
trust me, you need an external save backup

[Anonymous No.8609749]

>>8609694
Eventually, sure, depending on what and how many games you’re playing. But it’s nothing like Sony’s required buy-in.

[Anonymous No.8609760]

>>8609749
>how many games you’re playing
it has nothing to do with the capacity

[Anonymous No.8609807]

>>8609234
in the context of save games it still is,
my gta 5 save file is only 500kb

[Anonymous No.8609810]

>>8609807
they are 1 mega bit which is about 128kb

[Anonymous No.8609820]

>>8609810
still not that much less, not as big of a jump as has been made with game sizes
from like 2mb for ridge racer on ps1 to 300gb for call of duty warzone (multiplayer only game)
devs just dont give a shit about optimisation any more

[Anonymous No.8609825]

>>8609820
While I agree in some aspects, you are comparing apples to oranges there

[Anonymous No.8609860]

>>8609825
the original post was talking about 1MB of memory sounding like a lot referring to save data

[Anonymous No.8609871]

>>8609760
Then I don’t understand what you’re saying.

[Anonymous No.8609907]

>>8609860
then why did you start talking about game size?
>>8609871
If you had a Saturn growing up, you'd understand

[Anonymous No.8609917]

>>8609907
I bought one in ‘98 when I was in college and I still don’t understand what you’re saying, unless you’re talking about an Action Replay or something.

[Anonymous No.8609924]

>>8609917
I doubt it, unless you've completely forgotten about the battery wiping saves

[Anonymous No.8609934]

>>8609924
Yes, that can happen if you don’t keep a fresh one in there. First thing I did when I bought mine was to change the battery.

[Anonymous No.8609965]

>>8609934
>Yes, that can happen if you don’t keep a fresh one in there
uh huh, sure you did, you've never lost game data on the internal storage either, I'm sure you'll say

[Anonymous No.8609969]

>>8609965
No, I don’t believe I ever did. But I had an Action Replay that I bought for playing imports, and I was moving big save files back and forth.

[Anonymous No.8609973]

>>8609969
why would you need to move save files, not sure of any games that didn't save directly to it

[Anonymous No.8609978]

>>8609973
The Action Replay didn’t allow direct saving like the official memory carts.

[Anonymous No.8610257]

>>8609368
if you have a softmodded PS2 you can just offload ps1 memcards onto a usb drive

[Anonymous No.8610285]

>>8609234
It was actually 128KB (1Mb)

[Anonymous No.8610342]

>>8609234
They now make ones which uses microSD cards up to 1TB. It is costly but a space saver.

Yeah, until 6 months to a year later, when the internal battery dies and you lose all your saves lol.

What shitty batteries were you using?

[Anonymous No.8611356]

no Saturn games even needed to save because they were all half hour long arcade games, not true home console experiences

Arcade ports typically stored config settings, high scores, and unlockables.

Lent someone my Gamecube memory card almost 15 years ago. Never got it back. Lost my Phantasy Star Online characters + friend list and will never be able to boot it up and revisit for nostalgia sake. It still upsets me a little.
