Eagle Arcade PCB Upgrade Compatibility for Original Centuri Hardware
Confirm whether your original Centuri Eagle arcade PCB is compatible with the HighScoreSaves Eagle Free Play and High Score Save Kit. The daughterboard installs at the documented Z80 processor location while keeping the original Eagle arcade PCB, controls, graphics, sound, and gameplay hardware in service.
Choosing the Correct Eagle Arcade PCB Upgrade
The HighScoreSaves Eagle Free Play and High Score Save Kit is designed for documented compatible original Centuri Eagle arcade hardware. It installs as a daughterboard at the Z80 processor location rather than replacing the original game PCB with a reproduction board, emulator, or multicade system.
Compatibility should be confirmed from the actual PCB and processor installation inside the cabinet. Cabinet artwork, controls, or the fact that the machine currently plays Eagle do not by themselves confirm that the board and CPU arrangement match the documented installation requirements.

How the Eagle Z80 Daughterboard Installation Works
Installation takes place at the documented 40-pin Z80 processor location on the original Centuri Eagle arcade PCB.
When reusing the original processor, the Z80 is carefully removed from its socket and installed into the corresponding socket on the HighScoreSaves daughterboard. Processor orientation and Pin 1 alignment must match the installation documentation.
The completed daughterboard assembly is then installed into the original Z80 socket on the Eagle PCB. Processor pins, daughterboard headers, socket alignment, and orientation should all be checked before cabinet power is restored.

After Confirming Eagle PCB Compatibility
Once the original Centuri PCB, Z80 processor, 40-pin socket, and installation requirements have been confirmed, use the individual product page for the complete feature list, Standard and Wi-Fi choices, processor and socket options, included components, current pricing, and ordering information.
This category is intended primarily to help determine whether original Centuri Eagle hardware is suitable for the HighScoreSaves upgrade before an order is placed.
Eagle PCB Compatibility FAQ
Which Eagle arcade PCB does the kit support?
The upgrade is intended for documented compatible original Centuri Eagle arcade hardware. Confirm the actual game PCB before ordering.
Which processor is required for the Eagle kit?
A compatible Z80 processor is required at the documented 40-pin CPU location on the original Centuri Eagle PCB.
Can I reuse the original Eagle Z80?
Yes. A documented compatible socketed Z80 can be removed from the original PCB and installed on the HighScoreSaves daughterboard.
Does Eagle kit installation require soldering?
No soldering is required when the documented Z80 location already has a compatible 40-pin socket. If the processor is soldered directly to the PCB, it must be properly removed and a compatible socket installed first.
Does the Eagle kit replace the original arcade PCB?
No. The daughterboard works with documented compatible original Centuri Eagle hardware rather than replacing the game PCB with an emulation platform, reproduction PCB, or multicade system.
