Re: FZ1 memory question/s

Yeah they are saving as when I play doom I can choose any of the levels and it saves my screen size preference etc and in big game mode on road rash my save file is always there and loads. It's just gex :? Not sure if is relevant but I used gex to delete everything that was on the internal memory. I...

Re: FZ1 memory question/s

Re: Introduce yourself.

The pal version states on the front it features full screen display on any pal system so I am hoping that's the issue, it has been optimised for the speed and full screen and so will not run on the already 60hz console but nobody has confirmed this as yet. I don't currently have the capacity to burn...
