okay, last dreamcast question for now, hopefully. is it normal that i have to set the date and time every time i start up the system, or is that a sign that the rtc has a dead battery or something
why would you even solder a cmos battery directly into your thing anyway. it's like they didn't want their console to be usable at all after five years
@typhlosion Yeah it would have been nice to have, but I have been thinking the next time it dies to just solder a slot that accepts LIR2032s/LR2032 since CR2032s do not have to be rechargable and that would leave a mess.
