On a real PC Engine Duo, Duo-R and Duo-RX console setup or even a SuperGrafx console with Super CD-Rom2 Interface add-on, it's well-known that booting up the Hudson Soft stg of Arcade CD-Rom2 disc of Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire will not save your high scores nor high score initials to the on-board Back Up Ram of each console respectively upon being powered down for the night -- of course, Hudson Soft could've easily implemented it from the "get-go" but chose not to do so.

But with a KriKzz Turbo Everdrive Pro setup (which already doubles as a handy Arcade CD-Rom2 System Card in of itself), can such GFDS high scores & high score initials be saved for posterity and safe-keeping purposes? Krikzz could easily release a fw hack to do this.

I know that on the PCE Mini/Core Garfx Mini/TurboGrafx-16 Mini consoles that Konami Holdings released worldwide back in 2020, such GFDS high scores & high scores initials can be saved via game save states.
