Saving for Jag CD games?

Recommended Posts

What was it again that I need to save a Jag CD save file?

 

Also, how much do they usually run? I'm not much into eBay, so would there be anywhere else to look for one online?

It's called a Memory Track Cartridge. I think B&C Computervisions might have some for sale...Songbird Productions might also as well.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was going to be about saving up money to buy Jag CD games, because the rarer ones get pretty damn expensive! :dunce:

Question on these memory tracks - DO these things have a battery to assist in storage or is it just a flash cart which is limited to amount of writes?

I'm pretty sure it's just a flash cart. I bet it even uses the same memory chips that a regular Jaguar cart uses.

Hello!

 

Standard Jaguar game cartridges use serial Eeproms of just 128 bytes for their "Save Game" options (I think BattleSphere uses a 512 byte version and BattleSphereGold and Protector SE use 2048 byte versions).

 

The Memory Track uses a 128 kilobyte big FLASH-chip (with parallel port) which can be accessed

in chunks of at least 512 bytes.

 

I have some pictures and descriptions of Jaguar cartridge PCBs on my website.

 

Regards

Matthias
