6116 NVRAM Battery Eliminator

6116 NVRAM Module

No More Batteries!

This is a premium quality Battery Eliminator / NVRAM for the 6264 RAM used in pinball & arcade machines. Once installed, you can remove the batteries from your machine and your high scores / settings will be saved for many years to come!

Replaces a 6116, 2016, 4016, 9128 or compatible pinout "2k x 8" SRAM. These modules use CYPRESS F-RAM nvram ICs rated at 151-year data retention & 100 trillion reads/writes. Module installs easily into any IC socket.

WHY REPLACE YOUR EXISTING RAM WITH NVRAM?
Batteries leak. Even brand new batteries from major brands have leaked a year or two later for no apparent reason and cause hundreds of dollars in repairs or replacement of boards and components affected. Upgrading to NVRAM will save you time, money and any future worry of battery damage. It's one of the best mods you can do to your games!

NOTE ON BOARDS REQUIRING SOCKET INSTALLATION

Some boards require desoldering the 6116 RAM currently on the board and installation of an IC socket (all Williams pinball games). If you do not have proper equipment or experience to perform the upgrade, please hire a professional to upgrade your board. Any attempt to modify your board is AT YOUR OWN RISK. See our article on an example of an NVRAM upgrade that requires soldering.

NVRAM is shipped in anti-static foam & anti-static bag. An IC socket is included.

See the COMPATIBILITY INFO below for game compatibility.


*NOTE: EACH MODULE INCLUDES A NEW 24-PIN IC SOCKET!


COMPATIBILITY INFO

For pinball machines, refer to this Pinball NVRAM Game List to find what type of NVRAM you need for each game you'd like to upgrade. This will also help identify what games are plug-and-play and which require soldering for installation.

Additionally, check out the compatibility chart below for board diagrams showing the location of the RAM on the board, difficulty of the installation & any other usage/installation notes.

Once installed, you will then need to use the keypad and/or diagnostic menus to reset the machine to Factory Defaults. With Keypad games this is accomplished by going to "Test" to enter operator mode. Then hit "A" until "Feature Options" is displayed. Hit Enter. It will say "Reset Factory". Hit 6, then 5 on the keypad. Then hit Enter. Hit "Game" to return to attract mode. This will set the nvram to factory defaults & then allow you to coin-up the game. Some games may not work properly with these directions or use a Keypad. In that case, consult your game manual for specific steps.

FOR "LASER WAR" ONLY! Laser War is the only Data East game that used a 6116 NVRAM.

For all other Data East games, you should be using the 6264 NVRAM Module.

Requires Soldering
U18
(see picture)
NOT PLUG-AND-PLAY, REQUIRES SOLDERING.

Requires removal of existing RAM & installation of a socket! Williams System 9 games did not have their RAM socketed from the factory. Unless someone has replaced the RAM and installed a socket, you will need to remove the existing RAM IC and install a 24-pin socket.

CHIP MARKINGS DIFFERENT?
Your current RAM might not be labeled as a "6116" -- some RAM manufacturers used different numbering on their RAM like "NTE2128" for a 6116. The easiest thing to do is to write down the numbers on the RAM IC (located via the pictures above) and Google it to see if it's an 2K SRAM (6116), 8K SRAM (6264) or 32K SRAM (62256). If in doubt, please contact us with a picture of your RAM or the number on the chip and we'll help you out.

COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER DEVICES

This memory may also work in other applications where a 6264 RAM is used, but should not replace memory in critical circuits without proper testing. The 6264 module has been used to replace the Dallas DS1225Y Nonvolatile SRAM in Tektronix Oscilloscopes. The F-RAM chips latch each address on the falling edge of the /CE (chip enable) line, so in the hardware being upgraded the /CE line must be toggled for every read/write (not tied to GND). The chip enable circuit can be verified via schematic, but the toggling of the chip enable line on every read/write would need to be verified via logic analyzer.
