Saturn spine card dot codes

[Iron Draggon]

Does anybody here know what all of them are, and what all of them mean? Most games seem to have the same 3 dots, (blue, pink, purple) but I just got one with 5 dots, (blue, pink, purple, green, green) and I don't know what they mean. I was told that this particular game (Power Drift) requires a 4MB RAM cart, but I don't see anything on it to indicate this, unless that's what the two green dots are for. I have no idea what any of them mean.

Thats strange, I dont have any on my spine cards. :hmm:

I'm talking about in the yellow box on the front of the spine card. They all have a yellow box with a series of colored dots in it. I figure that they must mean something, but what I don't know. I assume it's some kind of code.

Blue: Number of players
Red: Genre
Purple: Memory backup
Green: Periphals
Black: Number of CDs/other media

The black one doesn't seem to be used that much.

OK thanks, so the two green dots mean that it works with two different peripherals? I wonder what they are? Steering wheel maybe? How do you tell if it needs a RAM cart? Could that be what the other green dot is for?

Nevermind, I just noticed that where that yellow box is supposed to be on the spinecards, On the games I have the box is red and says CG & Music. I dont have many Import Saturn titles with their spinecards so I wasnt quite sure what you meant. :o

Also, Thanks davidleeroth for pointing that out for future reference. :)

Yeah, I think the color of the box is supposed to be some kind of code too.

Peripheral could mean gun, steering wheel, joystick, mouse etc.
I think the RAM compatibility/requirement is described in the green field. Should be easy to figure as RAM=RAM in Japanese. :)
