the date and time on it every so often. Why does it do this? This isn't a sign my Dreamcast is dying is it? I already had the first edition die on my which was the one we got back on 9/9/1999.
I bleed Orange, Green, and Red.
Flyers, Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers.

It means you have to change the battery inside.

yeah, the dreamcast has an internal battery (similar to the legend of zelda NES cartridge) used to save date/time. simply put, once that battery goes, the dreamcast forgets what year it is.
