Live A Live - Captain Square: How To Find The Memory Card

gamespot.com:

There isn’t much combat in the Distant Future chapter of Live A Live. Not unless you count the arcade machine, Captain Square. Captain Square is a fun distraction that lets you play with the game’s combat system to solve some violent puzzles.

However, getting through it takes some dedication, as every time you lose or choose to walk away, the game resets. There is a way to avoid having to start all over each time, but while the tutorial message hints at a memory card, actually finding it is a bit of a challenge--unless someone breaks it down for you, so here we go.

This whole process spoils the first twist in the Distant Future’s plot. So, before we begin: spoiler warning.

Hints are dropped, but nothing specifically points to a passphrase. A little further on in
