THE MEMORY MENU
Some games, such as RPGs (role-playing games) let you save your current
game so you can continue it later. On CD software, game data cannot be
saved on the compact disc, so the Sega CD has internal back up memory for
this purpose.
The MEMORY feature is available when a Sega CD game is in the drive.
Use this feature to format the Sega CD's internal memory and to save and
erase games.
1. Move the cursor to MEMORY and press Button A, B or C. The Data
Storage Information screen appears. This screen gives you information
about the SEGA CD's internal memory.
2. Press Start or Button A, B or C tc
go on to the MEMORY menu.
3. Press the D-Pad up or down to
choose an option. Then press
Start or Button A, B or C.
4. Follow the instructions on screen to ^ ■
complete the operation.
Note: The cartridge memory shown on screen refers to an additional
memory-saving device that will be available later.
Important Information about Sega CD Memory
• Memory must be formatted before you can save games to it. Use the
first FORMAT option in the Memory menu to format the Sega CD's
internal memory.
• The Sega CD can save up to 64 Kbits of memory. When the memory
is full, make room by deleting items.
• The Sega CD will retain saved games for up to one month without
being powered on. After that time, saved data may disappear. If that
happens, you'll need to reformat the internal memory. Reformatting
will erase any remaining saved games. After reformatting, leave the
Sega CD powered on for at least six hours before using its internal
memory again.
