Sega Saturn Question..

Post by **ns12123** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 5:41 pm

Hi, I just bought a used Saturn and had a concern. Every time I boot up a game, I have to re-enter the date and time. What would be the cause?

you need to replace the internal memory battery. its a CR2032 3V coin battery.

If you look on the back of your Saturn you will see a door you can clip off, this will reveal the battery that needs replacing

This battery is also used for game saves

Any Wal-Mart or Radioshack will sell them if you don't want to buy one online and wait for shipping

BTW they're the same ones that VMU's take so if you have a DC with vmu's you could stock up on them at the same time hehe.

freaking VMU never turns off, so they only last up to 24 hours.

if you don't use it for games, they will last for a couple of months because the screen does turn off

Agh! I'm going to give everyone a heads up and not recommend 2473taylor as an eBay seller. He sold me a Saturn with a dead battery, a controller with a FRAYED cord, and six games that are scratched to hell.

most used games for the saturn are scratched to hell anyway due to the boxes sucked complete arse for keeping the disks in place.

how much was it. it was obvious that the battery was going to be dead, and of course games are gonna be crapped, did you really care about those 6 sports games? lol.
