Summary	05279: ngp, ngpc: System Clock not saving
Description	it seems like the system clock is not saving. the other settings saved, but not the clock if I press the power key or do a soft reset, the system clock restores to the correct time. but if I do a hard reset or choose another system and restart the system the system clock is at 0:00 AM and the date 1/1/2000. I am really getting frustrated because I have to re-set the clock every time I start up the system.

There are 2 separate parts that require batteries on the device, one for the game device itself and one for the internal backup memory and clock. The latter is not emulated.
