Loading a Game
Insert the Alundra 2 disc into the PlayStation console. Also insert a MEMORY CARD with an Alundra 2 saved game into the MEMORY CARD slot, then turn on the power. At the Title Screen, select Continue and press the ✖ button. Once the Load Screen appears, select the MEMORY CARD slot. Then select the game data you wish to use.

Using a MEMORY CARD
By using a MEMORY CARD you can save your game along the way. To use a MEMORY CARD (sold separately), insert it into either MEMORY CARD slot 1 or MEMORY CARD slot 2.
This game requires 1 free MEMORY CARD block for each saved game. Make sure there are enough free blocks on your Memory card before commencing play.
Saving your Game
When you investigate an Adventurer's Journal in a town or dungeon, you will be able to save your game onto a MEMORY CARD. Stand next to and facing the Adventurer's Journal and press the ■ or ● button.

Investigate the Adventurer's Journal and then select a free block on your MEMORY CARD to create a new saved game.
