    Default Re: Sonic CD Help

    That's why the emulator authors write the documentation files:

    /#####################/
    /# VIRTUAL RAM CARTS #/
    /#####################/
    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯&# 175;¯¯¯¯¯¯¯&#17 5;¯¯¯¯¯

    The Sega-CD/Mega-CD came with 8kb of internal BRam for save games, this only
    allowed fairly basic save game features and is often a problem on real
    hardware as games begin to argue over the limited space. External SRam carts
    were also available, ranging from 8kb to 64kb in size. The small amount of
    internal BRam is less of a problem on Gens because it creates a new virtual
    machine, and separate internal BRam file, for each game. However to offer
    greater flexibility, and more save slots for each game, Gens also supports
    "virtual ram carts". Each BRam file created by Gens stores both the internal
    BRam and external SRam data in the same file.

    You can set the size of the virtual ram cart to None, 8kb, 16kb, 32kb or
    64kb through the options menu. It is recommended that you always set this to
    64kb however because if you later wish to increase the size of the virtual
    ram cart you will need to reformat it and any existing save data will be
    lost.

    To setup the virtual ram cart for your Sega-CD/Mega-CD game boot the CD or
    load your CD image as normal. When the Sega-CD/Mega-CD logo screen appears
    press the A, B or C button to access the advanced menu and then select the
    memory management features by moving the pointer to "option" or "memory",
    depending on the bios version being used. Follow the on screen instructions
    to format your virtual ram cart then start your game as normal.

    Don't forget that you will need to set up the virtual ram cart function
    separately for each Sega-CD/Mega-CD game that you wish to use it with.
    The legend will never die...
