I just recently bought an Ibara pcb kit and I'm wondering if the game is supposed to save the high scores? It saves my settings, but every time I turn off my Egret 2 cabinet, the high scores reset. Do I need to do something to the battery or maybe replace it? Thanks.

Fun Fact: I keep hearing SH3's are supposed to save high scores, but of all the boards I've come across, not one of them does.
Yeah, probably the battery.

I think I'll at least try changing out the battery. It can't hurt.

It saves high scores. You have to enable it in the options however.
Edit: And Pink Sweets saves scores as well. Might be an option too.

I can confirm my Ibara PCB does indeed save high scores. Just be sure to intialize it before doing so. Playing with Ibara PCB is quite amazing with the super razor sharp graphics and none of that shitty interlaced graphics problem that plagues the PS2 port of the same name. Surely Cave could've done a better job of making PS2 ports of Ibara and Mushimesama without that interlaced shit.

All the Cave kits i've bought save the high scores. How do I know? Because i've never even got on the high score board.
I must buy from respectable low scoring sellers in future. The trading section just ain't cutting it.

That got it. It's saving them now. Thanks to all who posted. Now I need to get back to Ibara. I'm loving this game.

neorichieb: just in case this wasn't a joke, you can reset the scores in the test menu.

Could someone tell me how to access the test/options menu please? I'm fairly new to using pcbs (have Pink Sweets and Ibara on the way).

it's a secret..... that happens to be located near the jamma harness and looks like a SMALL black button.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

If you'll send me the Pink Sweets pcb I'll tell you.
Actually on my cabinet there is a red button called "TEST" and you just press it while the game is turned on and it takes you to the options menu.

It wasn't a joke. I would never delete someones hard work. If you buy a PCB and it has high scores still on it and you delete it.. Shame on you!
The only way those scores are getting deleted is if they drop off the bottom.

Well colour me embarrassed. I assumed it always reset because that’s always been the way in my (kind of)local arcade. Sorry!

Glad to see I'm not the only one that does that.
