Classic Video Games / Re: Carts loosing saved games

That's just it, I have the Retron 2 system only a few weeks old out of the box. (I went with the duo model as I have a Genesis model 2 in hopes of finding the CD add-on and 32x) so both the NES and SNES connections should be tight.
Besides the occasional problems from the NES as most complain about, it's worked well. One strange thing has happened though and I got to say its a first for me.
Using an original SNES controller in port 1 and the Retron controller in port 2 my son and I were trying to have a 2 player battle on Super Conflict. (Always loved that little game.)
Anyways when it's my sons turn the Retron controllers button mapping seems way off. Down is up, left is right and most of the other buttons won't do anything. The controller works fine with other games so I'm going to do some more troubleshooting but it's starting to look like the Retron cannot send the proper coding instructions to player 2 in Super Conflict. Who knew?!?!?
Ya I know it's an aftermarket system and eventually I will stumble across my diamond in the rough original console on a treasure hunt but at least I can take some solace in that I paid no cash out of pocket. (Maybe $60 in spending on random sweet finds worked out to $170 trade in credit at a local game store.) I went on a nice retro gaming shopping spree that day. Lol.

Classic Video Games / Carts loosing saved games

Hey Peeps,
Just wondering which point to attack first and what your opinions are on the subject. NES/SNES games loosing their saved games onto them... I'm sure everyone has been down that road before but here is my question...
I am to blame for loosing my save states to fighting with the game itself and ejecting them to fight to get them fired up... I know the golden rule is to hold reset but in the heat of the moment you forget sometimes and well the rest is history...
OR
Should I crack 'em open and change the batteries in them. I got to say it's a little strange that Sim City, Super Mario World and Super Conflict won't remember a saved game for crap... but it always seems to be after I fought to get the dang thing going. So guys and gals... what do you think. Oh by the way... anyone know the battery sizes for SNES and NES games?
I only wish people took better care of their games but some of these titles come in rough shape and need some TLC, LOL!
Thanks and happy gaming!
