I have a Raiden PCB that plays fine, but does not save the high scores on power down. Is there a lithium (or other) battery that I need to replace? I can't see it on the board, unless I'm missing it under the little daughter card.
 
Not sure if it does or not. Raiden 2 has it in that corner under where that daughtercard is. Look under there and see...
 
I just replaced the battery in my Raiden II and it's still not saving high scores. Dunno what else to try.
 
Perhaps my memory is playing tricks, but I don't believe that Raiden saves high scores.

Raiden II DOES save high scores, BUT will stop doing so if the battery dies (or is removed) - replacing the dead battery won't restore the high score saving either. It seems that there is some kind of annoying 'suicide' feature on Raiden II boards that only applies to high score saving. It's been discussed on the shmups forum and also on the Neo Geo forum.
