Table A2.1 Valid ASCII Characters in File Names and Comments
All of the characters in Table A2.1 above may be used in
comments. The shaded characters (the numbers 0~9, the capital
letters A~Z, and the underline character “_”) can be used in file
names. When the file size is displayed, use the equation below to
calculate it. Values generated by the equation are rounded up to the
nearest whole number. Use the term block as the unit of measurement
for the file size.
Size (blocks)= [(number of bytes used) + 32] / 64
Important! The size of each file must not exceed 256K bytes in size if the copy
function in the Memory Manager is used. The copy function in the
boot ROM-based Memory Manager only supports file sizes under
256K bytes. If the file size exceeds 256K bytes, then the copy
function must be supported within the application itself.
2.5 Comments
The user may be allowed to change the contents of the comments as
necessary. The incorporation of the is feature into a Sega Saturn
application is at the discretion of the application developer.
