Battery Backup Guide

Pikmin257 asked:


how long does a battery backup last in a cartridge game, for the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gameboy advance, and Nintendo DS?

NEGREYJR asked:


I recently came across a bunch of my old NES games, including some that were “Battery Paks,” games that could be saved using the cartridge’s battery backup. How long will these batteries last? Is there a way to replace them?

Dale J asked:

GamingGuy asked:


Im talking about the battery backups used to save games. How long will they last? I just bought a Genesis with some older RPGs Also if the games arent heavily used does that mean the batteries will last longer?

Hello, I just bought a Pandoras Battery from http://www.pandorasales.com/index.html and i got a great deal cause it came with the 1 gig sd card fully programmed. Now i currently have v3.80 firmware. What do i do exactly to mod it to play game backups? I figured out how to unbrick my PSP and it worked like a charm it’s back up and running. where do i go from here?

Emmanuel M asked:


I have a Gameboy Advance SP with a 290 in 1 game cartridge… I have a Pokemon Black version, X-men, Gundam Seed Battle Assault in it. The problem is. When ever I save It, It disappears at power off.

One example from Pokemon, There is a save option, after saving CPU alerts that the battery has run dry or the bacup memory is damaged…

The question is, where does the backup memory located? is it in the cartridges or the console itself… Is there anyway to repair it…

Thanks!

I am a complete newbie to all this stuff. I have been told (thanks titan) that to downgrade, I need to use a Pandora Battery and Magic Memory Stick. What I need is a complete idiots guide to do this!! The videos I’ve seen about Pandora Batteries confuse me and I am totaly scared of bricking the PSP. It’s my son’s. He wants to use UMD Dumper2 to backup his games and wants the ability to run homebrew games and apps. Titan tells me there is a CFW3.80. I just want to run anything that will run UMD Dumper and homebrew games and not take too much away. Looking on the net, 3.40*LE is recommended but if CFW3.80 will do it, I would be happy to install it. Another worry I have is that I have read that TA-0082’s do not like running 1.50 and modifications have to be made??? I take it my son has a TA-0082 as inside his UMD door you can see IC1003 stamped on the motherboard. Anyone who has time to help a complete idiot would be welcomed!!!
