3DO:Storage Manager

From ConsoleMods Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Storage Manager is an application that allows you to remove individual game saves from your 32KB of internal memory. While there is a dedicated Storage Manager disc that came with the Panasonic FZ-EM256 (256 KB Expandable Memory Unit) released in Japan, there are a few games that have the Storage Manager on the disc.

Game Guru, on the other hand, is an unrelated third party save manager with advanced features.
