I love these kinds of lists!
A small addition: Develo Startkit Basic-hen (TICD-6007) has two sample programs supposedly made in Basic for Develo by MSX-FAN magazine readers. One of them is "Mouse de Rakugaki". I just tried it with my mouse and it worked as advertised.

Why is Forgotten Worlds the only 3button game on that list?
Yes and I don't think a list of 3-button support games makes any sense in the first place (Esteban's 3-button Friendly Games list makes sense though).
Also the Backup RAM part of that list looks really small and has lots of errors. I like the Analogue Controller list though, as that's something I haven't found much info about.

If you could help us fix the mistakes with the BackUP RAM...that would be awesome.

The only games I can confirm are the ones I have, but I can tell that the list have lots of errors since it lists RPGs like Emerald Dragon as not using Backup RAM. I mean a CD RPG that uses passwords for saving? No way!
And games like Forgotten Worlds are using BRAM for saving the High-Score according to this list.

Games that I have from the list and can confirm that they do save to BRAM:
Popful Mail
Princess Maker 2
Private Eyedol
Tokimeki Memorial

There is no list of games using internal backup ram. This is an accessories compatibility list.

The Memory Base 128 is an accessory which plugs into the controller port.

Sorry for derailing the thread. We were actually talking about this list. Not the one this thread is about.

It seems to assume that all games that access the MB128 are not using Backup RAM, but they generally supports both.

Nat would still insist that Magical Chase was a $100 game.

Nat, we changed our mind, please come back and fix this, please

Seriously.

It has been a long time since Nat was here.

Damn.

What's a "memory base 128"? If it's a memory card, where do you insert it?

In the Pad port. It forwards the Pad port to the pad (like a multitap with only one port). You need a CD game that has a manager program for it to use it, else you can only use it for games that saves directly to it. Emerald Dragon and Private Eye Dol are two games with fully featured manager programs.

It has 63 BRAM banks (compare with Ten no Koe BANK that only has 4 BRAM banks). Save-kun is a clone of MB128 by KOEI that works identically and is fully cross-compatible. Both uses 4 AA batteries, I use Eneloop low-discharge rechargeable batteries and they have lasted over two years now.

Oh ok! Can you attach it to a multitap?

Maybe.  It's a pass through device, though, where you attach it to the system and the controller to the MB128, so I assume you'd want to attach the multi-tap to the MB128 rather than the other way around.

You don't have to have it inserted at all times though. I mostly only insert it when I want to backup my BRAM.
