    With the current system, there is a bit of a RAM issue, because all the data from all 15 slots is kept in memory at all times. That also means it has to read every slot on startup, so it would take a lot longer to load the game. Definitely something that should be fixed, but it's likely to take a while.

    Is there any way you can make mini files for each quest that retain the current icon, and like items unlocked and last DMAP save point? Loading every quest could be a problem, but can't this be cleaned up in some way?

    Loading everything just seems to be a very inefficient way to tackle the problem.
