Taz Express problem (data keeps disapearing)

Perhaps you should try it on a N64 board.
We're more specialized in the NES.

But look around some times, maybe somebody knows something.

I got the game off ebay for about $32 and what it keeps doing is loosing its sound where I must go into options and turn it back up and while it keeps doing that the lifes get erase aswell.

by the way its N64 game

it could be a dead battery if I understand the problem correctly... should be as simple as opening the cart up and replacing it. most carts use a standard CR2032 button cell (which are very expensive batteries...)

wow i never knew games ran off batterys! thats hilarious i thought they were just well.... i dont no but they have batterys seriously?!

yeah, they use the batteries to keep the data stored on them such as save games, or settings. much like your computer uses a battery to keep the clock settings and other boot settings. it's been that way since the early days of the NES. The Legend of Zelda was the first to use a battery backup that I know of, I could be way off on that though...

Most likely you're correct on that assumption:

I've actually seen that page before, it was quite informative about how the life of the NES went. I suggest everyone give it a read.

yeah i read it and its very interesting. Taught me lots i have not known before
