5. Compatibility and Speed
- Save Management: The
sega-101.bininterface for managing internal memory and the cartridges (RAM carts/Backup RAM) is in Japanese. For non-speakers, navigating the save delete menu can be intimidating, but the layout is intuitive. - Load Times: There is no significant speed difference between v1.01 and later revisions regarding game load times. The load times are determined by the game code and the 2x speed CD-ROM drive hardware, not the BIOS software.
