Eagle Free Play and High Score Save Kit

Eagle Free Play and High Score Save Kit for Centuri Arcade PCB

Upgrade your original Centuri Eagle arcade PCB with Free Play, Top 5 high score saving, serial EEPROM storage, adjustable attract sounds, separate score tables, Fast Boot, ROM Saver support, and optional Wi-Fi leaderboard support while preserving authentic gameplay on original arcade hardware.

Designed for documented compatible original Centuri hardware, this arcade PCB upgrade keeps Eagle running on the original game board rather than replacing it with an emulation platform, reproduction PCB, or multicade system.

Upgrade Your Eagle Arcade Experience

Restore and enhance your original Eagle arcade machine with a professionally designed Free Play and High Score Save Kit built specifically for authentic Centuri arcade hardware.

Original boards often lose high scores, rely on aging components, or need modern operator options. This upgrade adds permanent score saving and settings-menu control while preserving original Eagle gameplay, controls, timing, sound, and cabinet hardware.

Unlike multigame systems or replacement boards, this kit keeps your original Centuri Eagle PCB in service while improving long-term usability for collectors, operators, and restoration projects.

Available Kit Options

Choose between a Standard Save Kit for local score saving or a Wi-Fi Enabled Kit for local score saving plus online leaderboard submission.

Optional processor and socket upgrades are also available to simplify installation on original hardware when needed.

Important Installation Notes

• Designed for documented compatible original Centuri Eagle arcade PCBs.
• Access to the original arcade PCB is required during installation.
• The kit installs at the documented 40-pin Z80 processor location.
• No soldering is required when the Z80 location already has a compatible 40-pin socket.
• If the Z80 processor is soldered directly to the PCB, a qualified arcade technician must install a compatible 40-pin socket.
• Read the Eagle installation guide before installing the kit.
