Ahoy. I have two questions.
The first one is related to the DC itself. The system no longer keeps the date stored in its memory (it keeps prompting me for the date whenever I boot it up), so I'm guessing the internal battery died. How would I go about replacing this, and what battery model do I need?
The second is related to a memory card I just got. I bought a lot of four memory cards, and three of them work fine. But the fourth? It FROZE my Dreamcast.
Basically what happened was this: I turned on the system with the lid open so I would go into the system menu. I went to the File option, and plugged in card after card to see what they had stored. I wiped the first three cards without any problem (One was a Performance 1x Memory Card, the other two are official gray DC VMUs), but when I got to the fourth one... well, you know how VMUs beep when you insert them, right? This one beeped three times longer than normal, and the DC pad stopped responding. I tried this three different times before turning off the system and starting it up with the bad VMU already on the pad.
This let me use the DC normally. I went into the File menu, and the VMU only had one dumb NBA2K savefile, so I wiped it (reinitialized it). The system hasn't frozen again, though the VMU keeps beeping for longer than normal.
Any clue on what's going on here? Thanks.
