is there a list that tells people how much memory space each 3do game takes up or uses like how much each game save is would make it easier for me ot figure out which games to play

I don't think there's a list that does that, but that's a good idea for one.

Gah! While browsing online several days ago, I stumbled on a page that lists every possible file that can appear in the 3DO's memory by file name, game title, nature of the data (e.g. game save, settings, high scores), and space used. Can't remember where it is, though.

I'll post back here if something refreshes my memory. Alternatively, someone might try running an internet search for a 3DO file name; I'd do it myself, but I can't remember any off the top of my head and won't have an opportunity to check my 3DO's memory manager for another day or so.

Nice. If someone can find it, we should start a new thread and I bet the mods will sticky it, provided the information isn't already available here (and we just don't know about it yet).

I'll start a new thread with a good amount of info if you can find the link. I just did a quick search for Lucienne's Quest save file "mc_ss_j" but didn't find anything.
Oh how many times I deleted that save not knowing what it was...

Good news and bad news.

The good news is I found it: http://www.3dotoday.com/Files/3docht_4.txt The list is down at the bottom.

The bad news is it seems the list's including space used is largely a figment of my imagination.

The author does provide that information for five of them, so there's a start, but obviously not as comprehensive as I advertised. Sorry about that. If you want to go ahead with that thread, 3DO Experience, I'll certainly be happy to provide what info I have in my own 3DO's internal memory.

I put it up real quick, I'd like to expand on it later. I'd also like to add in file sizes so if people want to post files sizes I can add them. I can't look at my systems at the moment but I intend to drag them out and also look through the memory add-on, I believe it has 8 banks but I know I don't have saves on all of them.

I put the thread in the Technical Support Forum as a sticky: NVRAM Game Data.

Looks great so far, thanks.
