Retailers then labeled this
new cart 5in1 because it now had separate modes for 1mb and 4mb, despite the
fact that the packaging said '4in1', and there were still only 4 components.

Actually, the cheat function, region lockout bypass, and save functions are all made possible by the same hardware. From a hardware standpoint the cart's really more like a 3-in-1: Flash, DRAM, and commslink.
That's Atlus....

3.3 Does the cart use compression? I've heard this can corrupt saves...
|
The presence of compression alone won't corrupt saves on a 4-in-1, because the writing and compression process is completely under the control of the 4-in-1's firmware. Third-party direct save carts had problems because they were interacting with BIOS and game code and weren't 100% compatible with the official save cart. |
