### 10-2 Treatment of Saved Data (Required)

Caution
When a game requires a Controller Pak to save data, the game must check for a Controller Pak before starting game play. If a Controller Pak is not found, a message stating "No Controller Pak. The game cannot be saved." must be displayed.

Discussion
To prevent a situation where important data cannot be read from or written to a Controller Pak, the programmer should try to design the game program so that the game can be played without a Controller Pak.
