　The children who were once obsessed with video games were also "guardian of save data." If you are a teenager, if you are poor, if you are in your early 20s, the save data stored on the family computer (hereinafter, NES) software was as bad as a candle. is. [Image] "OK Dokkaku," A typical example of the trauma of the adventure book of the adventure is "Bokken" in the "Dragon Quest" series. This save system was implemented in "III". Many braves cried without the eyes and confused their families when they were declared to lose their save data with the melody of death, saying, "It's a good idea ...". Time moves from Showa to Heisei, and now, and most games are now auto -saved, and the reproduction of tragedy has been stopped. By the way, the former "hero" is now a good adult. Now is the time to answer. What was happening in the cassette when "Boken no Sho" disappeared? And why did the save data scatter so much? In a way, this may be the last quest left behind. I will explain while referring to experts as appropriate. ● Somehow I know "how is the battery battery?" ... In response to these questions, many people have become muddy with fluffy information, "Because the battery of the internal battery in the software has expired". Uh? I am one of them. To be honest, I didn't know what I was saying. In order to solve many years of questions, let's review the "save" mechanism in NES again. In the first place, the NES at the beginning of the release did not have the concept of "save". We did not plan software that can be played for a long time such as "Dragon Quest". Therefore, "Dragon Quest" also used "Futakatsu no Jumon" of the input authentication ceremony until "II". In 1987, "Morita Shogi" appeared as the first savory game for NES software. At this time, the method was called "Battery Backup". "Battery backup" is a method of continuing to supply electricity to a recording media called SRAM in the software and maintains data. This SRAM is a temporary thing that disappears the data when electricity is lost. The internal battery (battery!) Is active there. The battery continued to supply electricity to SRAM, and "Boken no Sho" was extended. However, "batteries" always have a life. Eventually, when the battery ran out, it became "It's a big deal ...". Every time this message was displayed, I felt like I wanted to grab my chest, saying, "If you are aware, please do something!" It seems that the hard Fami Competa was understood this system and had the manufacturer regularly exchange batteries. ● Why was it "while giving Rice Botan"? Another reason for the disappearance of "Boken no Sho" is the malfunction of the CPU, which is the brain and control device of the computer. When the power was turned off, the CPU voltage suddenly dropped, causing the record media SRAM to be damaged. What I was doing to control this malfunction was "turn off the power while pressing the reset button." While pressing the reset button, the operation of the CPU stopped, preventing data damage. Why did "Boken no Sho" disappear? The answer was really simple when I looked it up. When I knew the truth of the tears at that time, it may only have sepia color to my mind, but I was able to feel the trajectory of the production team's corporate efforts and ingenuity. When replacing the software battery from now on, it is strongly recommended that you ask a professional instead of your own.
