Ketsui, Espgaluda and Daioujou Battery

Post by zak »

Can the battery on these boards be replaced with a coincell type with battery holder?

Yes, but you can buy direct replacements from Maplin.

I'd rather get rid of the varta - worried about leaking. ;)

Oh? Doesn't this affect the PCB? I didn't realise this was an option. Would love to remove it from all of them.

Obviously a DOJ Black Label is a big no for obvious reasons :)

Settings like FREE PLAY etc needs to be entered on every startup. Otherwise, it's fine and safer.

So it will just always be default difficulty and coin operated? If so, I'm losing the battery asap! :)

Yes. For Ketsui, make sure you have the bugfix rom to avoid the demo sequence crash. For DOJ, I think the C auto fire button isn't ON as default, but I could be wrong, I don't have a DOJ PCB. I always turn off continue and attract sound too, but that's just my preference.

Update:

I found some time to test a coincell holder and rechargeable 3.6v coincell battery on Ketsui.

It works!

However, as the coin cell holder is bigger/wider than the varta battery type, you have to solder the holder at the bottom of the PCB.

Makes me wonder if I should do this for my Black Label PCB :think:

Mostly worried about soldering while the PCB is powered on...

You don't need to do that, it's not a suicide battery.

DOJ BL? It's definitely a suicide battery. However, desuicide roms are available for it:

Correct, DOJ BL.

Mine still has the original first print Cave rom and sticker - would be nice to keep it that way :)

I'd probably try to do it with a helper battery instead of doing it while powered on.

Question is, where to attach the helper battery? :think:

Helper could fall off (get de-soldered) while trying to solder the holder in place.

Oh, I'm sorry then. I didn't realise BL was different.
