I'd say, acquire a Ten No Koe ROMRAM card to manage your saves. They are like memory cards, but more crude. They don't tell you what space you have left, and can't even manage individual files, but you can save the whole Duo Memory in one bank out of 4 and so, free space on your Duo for more games. Just be careful and remember in which Tennokoe bank you saved what.

This thing Pix?

Would I have to write the entire individual "bank" back to the turbo duo to get any individual save in that bank?

I appreciate the hell out of the help fellas, if you don't mind all Qs I'll keep asking but feel free to point me to a Turbo Duo noob faq if one exists!

Yes, this thing, and you are correct, the Tennokoe card doesn't work like a memory card, you can only save and copy memory banks from the Duo and to the Duo to it.
It's then preferable to fill your memory banks as much as possible, as you won't be able to transfert individual saves files between memory banks.
If you fear save erasing, you'll have backups at least.

Also keep in mind that this thing is for Japanese consoles, so if you have a US Duo, you'll need the card adapter.

Good point, and I should be more accurate about what I have! It is a PC Engine Duo.

I guess I have to be careful huh? If I start playing multiple games which use saves and run out of room, will it just overwrite an existing save with no warning/choice?

Nah, it'll toss a warning screen saying there's not enough room to save.  It's often at boot too, so you don't play an hour into a rpg and then find out you've wasted your time.

Off the top off your head, do you know which games have a built in memory manager?

Valis IV like gino mentioned, as well as Order of the Griffon and Cosmic Fantasy 4.2.

Hey everyone, thanks to nullity for having some high res scans of the Godzilla manual I was able to create the following.

One PDF Godzilla manual:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzfHjbqYPxpeWjRza1NIbktERkU/view?usp=sharing

And a printable manual insert for Godzilla. I made it to be printed on both sides of the paper to make a nice little pamphlet. Just like the 3 in 1 Disc insert I made.

It took a bit of effort to squeeze everything on the inside but I think I got all of the important game information from the manual except the special moves lists for the monsters.

Go here for the high quality versions of the inserts.

Send me the recipe for the candied yams with jalapenos and peanuts.

I WILL TELL ALL.

...but seriously, just check out the first 5 pages, and then do a search for round 2 and read those five as well.

To paraphrase: BMW and Bernie got the tobias dupes.

Round 1 was Beyond Shadowgate, M&M3, and JP Drac X. - $10

Round 2 is Dynastic, Bonk 3, US Drac X, Godzilla, DE2 - $25

Round 2 is still available. Get on it!

1 guy got caught reselling them, was found out, and has been chastised. He's a dick. We all know.

oBey. All Day. u decise.
