Does anyone know which Cave PCBs have a suicide battery? Is there a physical indicator on the board?
BTW any suicide battery PCBs out there besides CPS2 and Cave?
Which Cave PCBs have a suicide battery?
Re: Which Cave PCBs have a suicide battery?
I think DOJ BL is the only one that suicides in the way CPS2 does, but all three on the PGM hardware (Espgaluda, DOJ, Ketsui) are prone to battery leakage and as such should have their battery removed/changed. If I remember correctly, the battery on DOJ BL needs to be changed while powered up as well (a la CPS2 all in one boards or CPS3), there's no cap to help store power like on CPS2.

Plenty of others, mostly from Capcom & Sega.shmupsrocks wrote:BTW any suicide battery PCBs out there besides CPS2 and Cave?
Have a look at The Dead Battery Society :

That's nice to have but doesn't seem comprehensive. There's no mention of a Cave game I can see.parodius wrote:Have a look at The Dead Battery Society :

AFAIK this website predates the PGM Cave games.

The only CAVE game with suicide battery is DDPDOJBL (specifically BL; WL does not have this), but reviving them is fairly trivial anyways iirc.

<S.Yagawa> I like the challenge of "doing the impossible" with older hardware, and pushing it as far as it can go.

Does anybody here know someone who can resurrect a DOJ BL pcb with a battery that has already suicided?
