List of TG16 games with save support?

[7800fan]

Populous is the only Hucard with built in save battery. But some Hucard can use save feature of Turbobooster Plus or Turbo CD system. I can't find the list at all and Google-fu is failing for me. Is there a list somewhere at all? Just the Hucard list that supports save banks.

I know Neutopia had it, as did Sherlock Holmes and Ys on the CD. Dungeon Explorer I think had it. Many others kept high scores, such as Monster Lair, a game which I famously got the highest score in the world in in 1991.

Populous doesn't have a battery. It has a RAM chip on the card, because it needs more RAM than the system has, but it uses the system's internal memory to save, not a battery.

 

Beyond that, I did a list of games for the system I know of with saving. It's very incomplete for Japanese CD games, but otherwise lists most of them.

Yep great list! It's what I needed, there are a lot of non CD games that do use memory backup. So Tennokoe II is useful when one needs less space, doesn't need CD system, etc.

 

If I ever get my hand on a TurboExpress, in addition to LCD mod and recap I will find a way to shoehorn the 2k SRAM save inside the TE so I can save the game on the run. (it's not simple unfortunately, Tennokoe II and Turbo Booster Plus used propriety HuC6201 (QFP64 SMD) and there is no detailed info on its inner working. I've found several sources of the chips like alibaba but it's probably fake. So I would need to hack apart a Tennokoe 2 (about $30 shipped on eBay vs about $100+ for Turbobooster Plus) and transfer the chip. Soldering in 64 wires won't be fun either.
