I have a dedicated 2 slot MVS cabinet. I just bought a memory card to use. Is there any way to know what games support the card? Magician Lord gave me the option of saving/loading a game but some others I tried did not seem to support it. Thanks
I've never used one because neither of my MVS boards had the memory card reader, but this is from Chris Mullins Neo Geo FAQ:
Memory Card: This device on the NEOGEO Cartridge System can save any position in ANY game(from 19-
27 game positions saved), and can be put in an MVS arcade cabinet so you can resume playing from your
saved game in the arcade(8 Kbytes of RAM). You can also use any memory card that has 68 pins, and
JEIDA spec ver.3, or higher. Also, you can use bigger memory cards that fit the JEIDA standard as well, for
more saved games!

----What is the Memory Card test and the Controller Test?
The Memory Card test does test and let you format cards, delete saves, copy saves, and read files. You
press and hold ABCD (on first controller) when a game is inserted, press reset, and it is activated. The
Controller Test tests to see if you have a broken controller, and it is activated by inserting a game, turning
on the power as you're holding ABCD, on the second controller. There is either a 0 or 1 when you press any
button in the test.

And a quote from elsewhere:
The usage of memory cards is fairly automatic. To save your position in a game for instance all you need to do is die with no credits left and wait for the timer to count down. The game will automatically ask you whether you want to save your position. When you load the game in next time and add some credit it will automatically ask you whether you want to continue from your saved position.
I know you said some other games didn't have the option to save, so I'm not sure why that is exactly as they all should work. What other games did you try it on?
