This is what the original Xbox did too. they had an Aerogel Cap that would hold charge for about 3 days for the system clock... when it was still new it was a really cool concept, but it seems really foolish in retrospect.So basically its a capacitor charging/discharging circuit. I wonder why they chose to go this route instead of just using a battery. The only advantage I see is the faster charging/discharging of the caps over batteries.
This would be ideal.I'm more interested in a permanent, non-battery solution.
Curious, can you take a pic or let us know the rating of the 3 large caps?Well, the battery is still charging, so I snapped these with my phone. If higher resolution is still needed I can probably do that tonight.

And I agree, a permanent score saving solution would be great.

Please post pics if you can, thanks.I have two G-Net PCB's and the jumper settings are different for the one with the backup board to the one without....
