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.

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.
