jce3000gt Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) ...and the save games were still there!!! I had it back in its box for a while and one day I decided I wanted to connect it to my testing station and fire it up and play some stuff but was pleasantly surprised that the saves were still there. I loaded up all my Star Control II games and they loaded without any data loss. I was STOKED! I had always thought that you needed to power up the unit at least once every year or so to keep the saves but maybe I was mistaken? I almost shed a tear, it was beautiful hearing it power on and seeing those saved games still there after ~10 years. I got goosebumps the first time I heard the Crystal Dynamics intro. I'm such a nerd. Edited May 8, 2017 by jce3000gt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I don't believe they're rechargeable batteries so powering on wouldn't have recharged it. Last I checked my N64 controller paks still had saved games that are around 20 years old by now, CR2032 is still going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetastrike Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) But the FZ-1 doesn't have a built in data manager. Did you pop in a game that needed more space? Edited May 10, 2017 by zetastrike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jce3000gt Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 I think it was Star Control II I used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
