I'm starting it up again, and noticed all the other save files on the game that came with it since I bought it used, and was wondering if it's possible to just wipe the data.

And I know I can save over other data obviously, but I wanted to know if I could erase the other data. Them being there just emphasizes to me that my game is used. ;_; Hence, "or am I just gonna have to learn to live alongside these save files?"

ArchiePeck 09/13/17 5:10:30 AM #9:	It's relatively straightforward to replace the battery in SNES cart, just a bit of soldering required in some that have a fixed holder mounted (the design changed over the years). Yes, they will all eventually die otherwise. <cite>ArchiePeck posted [p:886511141] in Anyone kno...

Did you ever see that Seinfeld episode where George tried to keep a Frogger machine plugged in so that he wouldn't lose his high score? Same idea. The way saves worked in older games required constant electricity in order for memory to remain stored. --- PSN: kazukifafner <cite>Dragonblade01 posted [p:886511158] in Anyone kno...

Saving over all of them isn't gonna make the game feel any "newer" to me. Similarly, when I played FFI & II Dawn of Souls on the GBA, and I accidentally saved in slot 3, it bugged the hell out of me because now what should have been a normally empty save file had a useless file that shouldn't be there at all.
