Upgrade Your Fast Freddie Arcade Experience
Restore and enhance your original Fast Freddie arcade machine with a professionally designed Free Play and High Score Save Kit built for documented compatible original Kaneko arcade hardware.
Original boards often lose high scores, rely on aging storage methods, or need more convenient operator controls. This upgrade modernizes the PCB for collectors, operators, and restoration projects while preserving authentic gameplay, controls, timing, and arcade feel.
Unlike multigame systems, emulation platforms, or reproduction boards, this kit keeps your original Fast Freddie arcade PCB in service.
Available Kit Options
Choose between a Standard Save Kit for local score saving or a Wi-Fi Enabled Kit for local saving plus online leaderboard score submission.
Optional processor and 40-pin socket upgrades are also available to simplify installation on original hardware when needed.
