"question to all you importers out there..."

Whats the compatibility like for having PAL and NTSC (both Jap and US) saves on a memory card?

I ask coz Im (hopefully) gonna get a Freeloader and get a US Animal Crossing and Jap Ikaruga and I wondered if I'd need a new card to save different regioned games on.

I really dont want to screw up my PAL saves.

The fact that I own a Q as well as PAL, NTSC US & JAP games and have expiremented with saving them on the same card.

The result everytime? I had to format the cards and lose everything on it.


So shut the hell up and don't question me.

and that is based on?

No

Different card for every region.

Cheers for the info..

I already have two cards (59'ers) - both are about 3 quarters full.
So what I'll do is get a MC 251 for my PAL/Us saves and use one of my 59's for Jap saves and have a spare card for emergancies.

I believe that you can save US and UK games on the same memory card, but Jap games need a separate memory card as they are formatted differently. Something to do with the character set involved, which when you think about it is rather obvious really.

UK/US = Standard English character set
JAP = Jap character set (duh!)

So you will only need two mem cards.

One for your UK and US games.
One for your Jap games.
