Elevator Action Multigame Compatibility for Original Taito SJ Hardware

Confirm whether your original Taito SJ Elevator Action or Jungle Hunt arcade PCB is compatible with the HighScoreSaves Elevator Action Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit. The upgrade uses the original Taito SJ board stack with dedicated main-CPU and sound-CPU daughter cards rather than replacing the arcade hardware with an emulator, reproduction PCB, or multicade board.

Before You Order
Hardware: Requires documented compatible original Taito SJ Elevator Action or Jungle Hunt hardware; verify the complete PCB stack before ordering
Processors: The documented installation uses the main Z80 at IC56 and the sound Z80 at IC52, with each processor transferred to its matching daughter card
Installation: Required processor locations must be properly socketed, and the documented program and sound ROMs must be removed as directed by the current installation guide

Choosing the Correct Elevator Action Taito SJ Multigame Upgrade

The HighScoreSaves Elevator Action Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit is designed for documented compatible original Taito SJ arcade hardware, including supported Elevator Action and Jungle Hunt PCB configurations.

This is not a simple single-processor daughterboard installation. The documented Taito SJ multigame installation uses separate main-CPU and sound-CPU daughter cards, requires access to several boards in the original stack, and requires removal of the specified original program and sound ROMs.

Original Taito SJ PCB Compatibility

Elevator Action Taito SJ Hardware Documented compatible original Taito SJ Elevator Action PCB stacks are supported by the multigame upgrade. The complete original board stack should be identified before installation begins.
Jungle Hunt Taito SJ Hardware Documented compatible original Taito SJ Jungle Hunt hardware is also supported. The current installation documentation is written for the shared Jungle Hunt | Elevator Action | Taito Multigame kit.
Taito SJ Board Stack Required The current guide specifically states that the kit works on Taito SJ hardware and illustrates supported multi-board stack configurations. Do not select the kit based only on the cabinet title or artwork.

How the Taito SJ Multigame Installation Works

The kit contains a main Z80 daughter card and a sound Z80 daughter card. Installation therefore involves two separate processor locations in the original Taito SJ board stack.

The main Z80 processor is removed from IC56 on the CPU board, transferred to the main HighScoreSaves daughter card, and the completed assembly is installed back into the IC56 socket.

The sound Z80 processor is removed from IC52 on the game board, transferred to the sound daughter card, and the completed sound module is installed back into the IC52 socket. Pin 1 orientation must be verified at both processor locations before power is restored.

Program and Sound ROM Removal Requirements

Program ROMs — IC1 Through IC10 The current installation guide instructs the installer to remove the documented program ROMs at IC1 through IC10 on the ROM board.
Sound ROMs — IC70 Through IC73 The documented sound ROMs at IC70 through IC73 on the game board are also removed as part of the multigame installation.
Follow the Current Guide Exactly The current installation guide specifically states that the multigame kit will not operate with the documented program and sound ROMs left installed. Remove only the components identified in the current guide.

Elevator Action Multigame Pre-Order Compatibility Checklist

1. Identify the Taito SJ PCB Stack Confirm that the cabinet contains documented compatible original Taito SJ Elevator Action or Jungle Hunt hardware rather than identifying the machine only by cabinet artwork or the game displayed on screen.
2. Confirm the Original Board Stack Works Verify that the original Taito SJ hardware is fully operational before installing the multigame kit. Existing PCB faults should be repaired first.
3. Check the Main Z80 at IC56 Locate the main CPU at IC56 and verify that the processor can be removed from a compatible socket for transfer to the main daughter card.
4. Check the Sound Z80 at IC52 Locate the sound CPU at IC52 and verify that its installation location is also compatible and properly socketed for the sound daughter card.
5. Review the Complete ROM and Board-Stack Procedure Review the current guide before separating the PCB stack or removing the processors, MCU, program ROMs, sound ROMs, ribbon cables, or original spacers.

Taito SJ Board-Stack Installation Considerations

PCB Stack Must Be Disassembled The documented procedure requires disconnecting the flat cables and separating portions of the original Taito SJ PCB stack so the main and sound daughter cards can be installed correctly.
MCU Installation Step The current guide also documents removal of the MCU at IC24 during installation of the multigame hardware. Follow the current guide for the exact board-stack configuration being upgraded.
Clearance and Ribbon Cables Matter When the stack is reassembled, verify daughter-card clearance, included standoff placement, flat-cable orientation, processor alignment, and that no part of the daughter cards contacts the surrounding original PCBs.

After Confirming Taito SJ Compatibility

Once the original Taito SJ board stack, main and sound Z80 locations, socket condition, ROM-removal requirements, and installation procedure have been confirmed, use the individual product page for the complete seven-game collection, Standard and Wi-Fi choices, included components, current pricing, options, and ordering information.

This category is intended primarily to determine whether original Taito SJ hardware is suitable for the HighScoreSaves Elevator Action Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit before an order is placed.

Elevator Action Taito SJ Compatibility FAQ

Which arcade PCBs support the Elevator Action multigame kit?

The kit is intended for documented compatible original Taito SJ Elevator Action and Jungle Hunt arcade hardware.

Does the kit use one Z80 or two Z80 processor locations?

The documented installation uses two processor locations: the main Z80 at IC56 and the sound Z80 at IC52. Each is transferred to its corresponding multigame daughter card.

Do the original program and sound ROMs stay installed?

No. The current installation guide instructs removal of the documented program ROMs at IC1–IC10 and sound ROMs at IC70–IC73 for the multigame installation.

Does installation require soldering?

No soldering is normally required when the documented processor and component locations already have compatible sockets. A required soldered processor must be properly removed and socketed before its daughter card can be installed.

Does the multigame kit replace the original Taito SJ PCB?

No. The daughter cards work with the documented compatible original Taito SJ board stack rather than replacing it with an emulator, reproduction PCB, or generic multicade platform.
