Any way to mod NES/SNES/Gameboy/N64 into EEPROM?

However it was more emulators and their being the way forward and usually the superior way thing I wanted to drag back up.

Superior in terms of convenience, that's for sure, but using an old system with your old games is a more all-encompassing nostalgic experience.

Not so much organic, rather "non-suicidal". If your games collection drowns in battery acid, you're gonna have a bad time.

You have to leave an empty charged CR2032 in for a very long time for it to leak. I once saw a leaked CR2032 and it was left inside the device for 20+ years.

Generally when a battery leaked it is due to reverse polarity, which is seen on devices that uses battery in series.

I've seen a great deal of batteries of all-sorts leak over the years, it's not terribly uncommon. It's a general rule of thumb to remove batteries from devices that aren't seeing much use.

You're right. It just that it is much more common to see AA/AAA batteries leak when they are used in series (device that needs to use multiple batteries).

It is very rare to see CR2032 or another other button cell leaks since only one is needed.
