| 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. |

This is already widely known issue already but since this isn't officially logged, I'll accept this as a placeholder for the issue. 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. |

It doesn't even do that now. The date reverts to (blank month) 0, 2000. Pressing down-arrow at this point puts rubbish into the month field. |

Tested to be working now. Procedure: - Start emulation with a software item. - If blank white screen, press F1. - Go through the configuration steps as presented. - When the game starts, press F1 to turn off the console and also saves the settings. - Quit. - Now, next time it is run, the console will be on, and the game will start without intervention. Now you can just quit if you want, as F1 is not needed. Do these steps for both ngp and ngpc. |

I might have assigned the fix of this case to the wrong person. Please correct if needed. |
