I just played the "street of rage 2 (U)"and got a high score, then I turn off the console and turn on again,chose play game ...and the high score with my name is gone... is it not save with sram?how to keep it?
Most Genesis games didn't save high scores, which kind of defeats the purpose of having them. The worst culprit in that regard is Virtua Racing, which at a price point of $99 had zero excuse not to have some way of recording best times -- without which the game is kind of pointless. I think the Japanese version of the 32X cart had it, though. Some Atari 7800 games were planned so that high scores would be saved. I don't know what the originally intended method was, but developers for the 7800 have brought out a couple devices that support it at last. But on the 7800 that functionality was planned from the beginning. I have no idea how you'd do it on the Genesis, short of hacking every game to implement either (a) saving high scores to battery-backed memory (or the equivalent), or (b) some kind of bizarro scheme that would involve the Sega CD internal memory and is probably impossible anyway.
I think he means "not even an original SOR cart would save my high score?", which is true -- it wouldn't. I don't think he's expecting his EverDrive to psychically acquire his old high scores, though if he is, that's one of the niftier delusions I've ever seen! :shrug:
Well you'd be surprised with some of the questions I get. "Does the EverDrive make the graphics better?"
