| Raiden 1 won't save high scores when powered off. |

Just picked up my first complete game, which had to be Raiden as I loved playing that title many years ago. I've learned a lot from just lurking and have worked out most of the small issues that the game had. The only remaining one is that the game does not store the high scores when the power is switched off, something that is kind of a big deal for me. I searched high and low for a battery, but it does not seem to have one. I've seen it mentioned that the game just may not save the scores at all; which is possible. What I am wondering is if this is correct, and if so, if there is a way to work around this. I am admittedly a newbie to owning and working on classic games...but not to electronics in general. Should there not be a pin somewhere on the board that I can keep a few volts running to that would keep them in the memory? I couldn't find a board schematic, but perhaps one of you could point me in the right direction or help me figure it out. Thanks for your time. |

Moreover, the game code will wipe RAM on each boot, so even if you keep the RAM alive, it will not save scores. |

Best workaround with the real pcb: high score board on the wall :) |

FWIW, my Raiden II and Raiden DX are the same way. Reminds me I need to make a custom scoreboard when I finish my cab. Congrats on the Raiden! Post pics! |

Really? I got a Raiden 2 board and cab as a lcd conversion/rebuild project, and today I dropped the 2 board in the running cab to give it a whirl. Ran great, but I was disappointed to find that even with a fresh battery it would not save the scores. I though for sure that it would since it has the battery and all. Sounds like you have what I'm after. Once I finish up the 2 I am going to have to track down the DX. Love the series. |
