The CD BackUp RAM Cart is a memory card designed for the Mega CD that plugs into the Mega Drive cartridge port. For the North American version, the cart resembles a regular Genesis cartridge, aside from a blue edging saying "Sega CD", as opposed to the usual red edging found on standard Genesis cartridges. The unit contains 2045 blocks (1 Mbit) of memory for game saves. Some RPGs - most notably Shining Force CD - used this for memory, as there was often not enough space for the save files in the internal backup RAM. In the case of Shining Force CD, this cartridge allows the player to unlock the last story segment of the game, inaccessible without the backup cart due to the Sega CD's internal memory limitations.
