  • No soldering is required when the Z80 location already has a compatible 40-pin socket.
  • If the processor is soldered directly to the PCB, a qualified arcade technician must install a compatible socket.

Wi-Fi can be disabled without affecting game selection, gameplay, Free Play, local score saving, or menu operation.
