Hey Everyone, A rather beginner question on my part, but how exactly does saving work on the DUO-R? (^_^); Do you just select save from in your game and it automatically shoots to your internal RAM until it is full? Is there a way to manage this space? In addition, how long will saves last once the console is unplugged? I assume a day or so (if it works on a capacitor and not a battery)?
Owning one myself it just saves to the system, it has a built in rechargeable battery. If you run out of space you delete saves, or transfer them to a hu card called bank something, which I own. However no software will let you save directly to the card. So with most games it either it auto saves or if option is avail you choose to save.As long as the battery is good your saves are fine.
Is it actually a battery and not a capacitor? I usually leave my system unplugged (protect from electrical surges) but the save data usually lasts. I don't know that it's still there now but I wasn't in the middle of playing anything. The EverDrive could possibly be used to backup and restore the internal SRAM with the SD card. I'd like to see that feature added to the OS. Or a ROM that can run with SD card access to do the same thing.
