FAQ
Where can I download the install guide?
What board types are supported?
Supports the Taito black-and-white style PCB in both two-board and 3-board configurations.
Will it work in a cocktail cab?
Yes — as long as it’s a B&W Taito style (not the color Taito variant). Cocktail/upright mode depends on input-board strapping, and screen flip is done via monitor relays.
How do I switch between games?
Press P1 Start + P2 Start simultaneously to open the menu.
How do these versions differ from originals?
Adds Free Play, onboard diagnostics, high score save, extended configuration, and options like laser-base count, bonus award levels, and other enhancements.
Do I need to solder anything?
Usually no — unless your 8080 CPU is soldered in. In that case, a socket must be added first.

8080 8-Bit Microprocessor (40-Pin CPU) The Intel 8080 is a classic 8-bit microprocessor that powered many early arcade machines. Introduced in the mid-1970s, the 8080 became one of the foundational CPUs used in the first generation of dedicated arcade hardware. On arcade PCBs, the 8080 serves as the main processor responsible for executing the game program, handling player inputs, controlling game timing, and coordinating communication with video and sound hardware. Because it manages core gameplay functions, a properly functioning CPU is essential for reliable arcade board operation. The processor uses a standard 40-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) and installs into a compatible socket on the arcade PCB. During arcade board troubleshooting or restoration, the 8080 is sometimes replaced to resolve boot failures, game resets, or non-functioning boards. Key Features Intel 8080 8-bit microprocessor Standard 40-pin DIP package Main CPU used in early arcade hardware Handles game logic, timing, and system control Suitable for arcade PCB repair and restoration Used In Arcade Games Such As Space Invaders Space Invaders Deluxe …and other early arcade titles using 8080-based hardware Installation Notes Installs into a standard 40-pin DIP socket on compatible arcade PCBs Ensure correct notch orientation when installing Recommended for technicians performing arcade PCB troubleshooting or restoration *Manufacturer brands or markings may vary.
40-Pin Socket Specifications This 40-pin DIP socket is designed for reliable installation of integrated circuits and arcade daughter boards that use a standard 40-pin layout. Using a socket allows the chip or module to be easily removed or replaced without soldering directly to the PCB, helping protect the board during upgrades, repairs, or troubleshooting. Pin Pitch: 2.54 mm (0.100″) standard DIP spacing Total Pins: 40 pins arranged in two rows (2×20) Mounting Type: Through-hole (THT) for secure soldered installation Compatibility: Designed for standard 40-pin DIP integrated circuits and modules Installation Benefit: Allows ICs to be inserted or removed without repeated soldering Use Case: Ideal for arcade PCB upgrades, ROM installations, and repair work The standard 2.54 mm (0.100″) pin spacing matches the layout used on most classic arcade PCBs and DIP integrated circuits. Once soldered to the board, the socket provides a stable connection while allowing the chip to be safely inserted and removed when needed.
