How the hell can you or anyone hate memorycards?
-hard drives, if the system dies or is broken you need to reinstall everything to pre condition. therefor you lose all your files. Also you cant transfer as easily your save file to another system and all the other restriction with trophies.
- cartridge systems, all of them pretty much rely on a small coin battery. If this battery dies so does your file. Same kind of way for megaCD and sega saturns on system memoies, i think you have to play or turn these system on once a week to recharge the battery there which is a rechargarble battery.
The Memorycard the Playstation introduced was the best way to save your files even today. SNK actually invented the memorycard but they used also coin batteries who will die off, but you can buy thirdparty neogeo memorycards who work like playstation memorycards, having also more space too.
