strange warning
« on: August 02, 2007, 01:00:04 AM »
Hello, this has undoubtedly been asked before but my searches don't turn up any useful results. Anyway, any time I play a cd game on my duo-r I get a warning, I can't read japanese but it does say something about RAM. It hasn't been a problem until I tried to play nexzr, where it just stalls at the warning screen. Can anyone tell me what this means and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks!

It is most likely a warning that there is not enough back-up memory to make game saves / hi-score saves.

But would this prohibit a game from starting? How would I free memory? Thanks for your reply.

some adventures (digi-comix e.g.) don't run if the memory isn't sufficent.

Both Dragon Knight II and Madou Monogatari also will refuse to run if there isn't enough space.  Very annoying when you just want to test something.  :evil:

A lot of games do that, including plenty of the RPGs.  It's not exactly exclusive to DK2 and Madou.

Press select on the boot up screen and either delete some saves (first option) or format the memory and delete all saves (second option).

Memory is limted in duos wich is very annoying.

Still sounds like you need a Tennokoe Bank memory card.
