Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community! Nearly Gone

I got my discs today weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Yarr, the Tennokoe Bank huey is the way to go.  If having four sets of saves is inadequate, you can step up to a MB128, but that seems like overkill and is a bit less user friendly.

I was just about to ask if there was a better option than the Tennokoe Bank. I know little about the PCE's memory accessories.

Yeah I'm unfamiliar with the Memory base thing and whether or not it works on Duos or whatnot. My plan was to just buy quite a few Tennokoe Banks like null said.

I keep a slip of paper in there and mark down what's saved in there and what's not. Having at least two systems helps to troubleshoot and figure out exactly how they work. It saved me multiple times when playing Legend of Xanadu, there was no way I was going to restart the game after having already beaten half of it. The picture diagrams definitely help you figure it out easily.

Memorybase 128 is super easy... put in batteries... plug into controller port.

insert Emerald Dragon CD and hold UP and RUN at CD bios screen.  easy access to 64 banks of save ram (that is 64 Duo's worth of save ram)

playing MM3 now. see you guys in a few months!

So, I can manage all memory, as long as it is utilized with a compatible game?

MM3 is such a great game, as I said in another thread it is going to stay in my CD drive until I beat the game.

[Bernie]

Yeah, im in like a giant slimy penis!

yes... i think.  if you mean that you can save to your heart's content to the duo's save ram until it fills up the 2kb, then boot to MB128 using a compatible game and copy duo saveram to mb128 and then start a new blank duo saveram (which can be backed up/restored at will by booting to MB128 with a compatible game), then you are exactly right.

it is like a bottomless tennokoe that you have to put in a CD to use rather than a HuCARD. and it gives you almost 12" extra cord length for your controller.

One last question about the MB128 does it lose it's memory if the batteries run out?  Sounds awesome otherwise especially with the bonus of a cord extension.

[Black Tiger]

The PCE game save memory is fine, some games just don't have optimized saving systems. Bitd, I wound up with multiple pages of game saves on my Turbo-CD. I forget how it works, like if there are page numbers or you just wind up on a new page after scrolling through indiviual file names.

[grendelrt]

Wow this is totally awesome. Great of you guys to put all this effort in as well!

[DragonmasterDan]

I've never owned an MB 128 but it's definitely something to keep in mind. I've been using a pair of tennokoe banks over the years.

Ok people, a little update. 

1.  I am still waiting on my shipping envelopes to arrive, they should be here any day now.  I have not replied to any more PMs, because I have folks in line that have already paid...there's about 10 of you.  I want to get those people shipped and taken care of first. 

2.  And the good news!  We just ordered the 2nd batch of games.  They should be here in about 1-2 weeks.  The games are, Dungeon Explorer II, Bonk III, Godzilla, and Dynastic Hero.  As a bonus, Tobias threw in a spindle of Japanese Dracula X games.  We didn't plan to order those, but the shipping was the same with or without them, so we decided to take them. 

Carry on, nothing to see here.... 

Let us know when you are ready to receive more money and send the games!

[poponon]

so glad I stopped by the forums today ! looking forward to the next batch of discs

[roflmao]

I use the Tennokoe Bank with my Duo and it works great for situations such as M&M3. For how cheap they go for, every Duo gamer should have one.

yeah, I have one but it is full. Was thinking about picking up another for $6-10... but just remembered my buddy ROFLMAO gave me a memory base 128.  High time I figured that thing out 

It's the same one Bernie gave me ages ago!

[johnnykonami]

I'm really excited about these!  Dungeon Explorer II especially.  Were there other Tobias releases or was this all of them?

DEII is a great game but not worth eBay prices. This is the definitive way to enjoy it.

Off the top of my head these were Tobias' releases

Fausette Armour
Renny Blaster
Kazi Kiri
Sylphia
Dynastic Hero
DEII
Godzilla vs Mechacollectard
Bonk 3
Startling Odyssey 2
Xak III
Saphirre
Drac X

Oh nice, thanks!  I'd love to get a Fausette Armour, and I also have some interest in Startling Odyssey 2 and Xak III.  Sapphire too, I just still don't own an arcade card so I'd have to rip and emulate to play it until I do.  Renny Blaster would be cool to check out despite reports of it's terribleness.  I've played Sylphia and Kaze Kiri, they wouldn't be my top picks but I'd undoubtedly pick them up at these prices.
