Crazy Kong Remix Multigame Arcade PCB Upgrade Overview for Original Falcon-Style Hardware
Review the available HighScoreSaves multigame upgrade option for compatible Crazy Kong arcade PCBs, including Crazy Kong Remix, Crazy Kong, Crazy Kong Part II, Crazy Kong 2023 Revision, Big Kong, Crazy Kong Alternate Levels, Free Play support, per-game high score saving, on-screen Game Select, per-game settings, default boot game selection, original PCB ROM support, Z80 installation requirements, and Falcon-style hardware compatibility.
This category is intended for collectors, operators, and restoration projects using compatible original Crazy Kong arcade hardware. The Crazy Kong Remix multigame kit keeps the original PCB in service rather than replacing the cabinet with an emulation platform, reproduction board, or generic multicade system.
Crazy Kong Remix installation requires access to the Z80 CPU socket on a compatible Crazy Kong PCB. The original Z80 is removed from the PCB, installed onto the kit, and the kit is then installed into the Z80 CPU socket. If the Z80 is soldered directly to the PCB, a compatible 40-pin socket must be installed first.

The Crazy Kong Remix multigame kit is designed for compatible Crazy Kong boards built on Falcon-style hardware, including Falcon, Alca, Jeutel, Orca, and compatible Falcon-hardware clones. It is not intended for Crazy Kong variants running on Scramble, Galaxian, or other non-Falcon hardware.

Avoid adding single-game HSS settings-menu shortcuts, Wi-Fi leaderboard claims, or serial EEPROM wording unless those features are specifically documented on the product page or installation guide.
