In multiplayer save data management, the "usage" of save data is calculated and used. This "usage amount" is stipulated as follows.

■ Calculation formula of "usage amount"

Round up to the nearest whole number ([number of bytes used] + 32/64).
Or, it has the same meaning,
([Number of bytes used] + 95/64) Truncate to the nearest whole number.

■ Unit of "usage"

On the saved data management screen, the unit is not indicated for "Usage", but be sure to use "Block" when indicating the unit for each application.

■ Other precautions

The size of the occupied area per file in the media differs between "main unit RAM", "cartridge RAM", and "extended memory (floppy disk, etc.)". Therefore, when copying the record, the increased "usage" and the consumed "free space" do not match, and the sum of the "usage" and the "free space" does not match the "total capacity". It may be.
