Title: BMP Internals
Post by: SuperDeadite on August 15, 2009, 02:56:45 AM

Out of curiosity, I cracked open the BMP to see what the batteries are for.  Inside is another battery! As well as a capacitor and the chips.  So I guess the saves are kept by the internal battery, and the AAAs are used to recharge it.  Crazy cool!  :clap:

Well, that is pretty neat. Was the BMP designed to be service-technician-friendly, or did you just make a sacrifice to the Gaming Gods?

It's held togheather by just 3 phillips screws, very easy to open.  After putting it back togheather my saves were all still intact.  NEC builds stuff to last.
