I noticed last night that ever since my Punch-Out free play chip has been installed, the game stopped saving High Scores? Anyone else notice that? My batteries are brand new, and I never had the issue before. I hadn't noticed anyone say anything, but maybe no one else paid attention?

Anyone?

Funny you should say that. Cause I noticed it too!!!!! I figured my batteries were bad or something. I think you're right!
 
yeah, hell with the free play, drop a quarter in!!
high score save is pretty important.

put it this way, if you died today, who would know that you ever played punch out?
 
Weird. I wonder what the hell happened with the programming? Its not a huge deal, I guess. I wont care until I can break 200K anyway, heh.

I think it's a problem and should be fixed. I'll pay closer attention this weekend and make sure it's really not saving mine.
 
Sorry to bring back this old thread but what ever happened with this?
Was this with the first roms or the Version 2 roms?
Is there a fix to allow freeplay via the knockout button w/attract mode that DOES save high scores?
 
Saved just fine on my PunchOut! when I had it. I replaced the AA battery holder with a coin style one for a lithium cell battery. AA batteries are evil

Now when you do that you're replacing 3 AA x 1.5v=4.5v. So do I use a 4.5v cell battery?
 
My punch out is set on free play but does not save high scores.

Should I be opening up the cage, checking out the batteries and changing them?
(first?)
 
I took mine off freeplay because I hate that it does not go through the demo. Mine just stays on one screen. I want to avoid burn so I just put in a quarter.
