Some of these games have a processor labeled FD1094 or FD1089, these are 68000 processor cores with a battery and encryption keys that are used to decrypt the game at run-time. Unfortunately these batteries eventually die out and the game is rendered useless.

Please refer to the [[FD1094/FD1089 and suicide battery]] page for more information on this issue.
 
 
There are two ways of preventing this form happening. You can replace the battery inside of these, and keep doing so every 5 years in order to keep them as original as possible or you can buy/build a kit to replace the encrypted ROMs with unencrypted ones and change the FD processor for a standard 68000 one. Please refer to the external links section for information on these.
