I have a region-modded CoreGrafx II, plus a Turbo EverDrive 1.x (which works flawlessly with it) and a handful of HuCards from both US and Japan.

If I buy a Tennokoe 2, will all the US games that use save memory work correctly with it? For example, will I be able to save my game to the Tennokoe 2 in the US versions of Davis Cup Tennis, or Neutopia?

(And -- bonus question -- will the fan-translated version of Lady Sword save on a Tennokoe 2?)

I actually already have a Tennokoe 2 that I bought from yamatoku-classic on Ebay, but it arrived with severely corroded batteries in the compartment. :( One of the battery terminals was corroded so badly it fell off, and there are also burn marks on the PCB, so I don't trust it -- and when I tried using it with my PCE + Turbo ED, I started seeing glitchy behavior, so I stopped right away.

Eventually I'll get one of the CD systems, either a recapped Duo or a briefcase system, which I suppose will make this irrelevant. But I've sort of promised myself that I'll beat 20 HuCard games before I expand into the CD library. :)

Save ram gives no shits about region.  If the game plays, it'll read and write to save ram just fine, even if you change the game's region (handy for playing Exile: Wicked Phenomenom in English but with the original's difficulty).

Awesome, thanks. I sort of figured as much, but wanted to make sure. :)

I'll probably give away the first Tennokoe 2 I bought. Maybe someone can fix it up and use it to output RGB, whether or not the save memory still works.
