3DO:Storage Manager

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.
