Frogger High Score Save Kit Compatibility and Comparison

Compare two Frogger high score save kit options for compatible original arcade hardware. Choose between the HighScoreSaves Frogger Kit and the Braze Technologies Frogger Kit based on your original PCB, processor socket, desired features, and installation requirements.

Before You Order
Hardware: The HighScoreSaves kit is documented for compatible original Konami and Sega/Gremlin Frogger PCBs using the 36-pin edge connector; the Braze kit requires a compatible original Frogger board set
Processor: Both upgrades install through the original CPU location and require the processor to be removable from a compatible socket; the HighScoreSaves kit specifically uses the original Z80
Installation: The HighScoreSaves kit is a straightforward daughterboard installation when the Z80 is socketed, while the Braze kit may require additional board-stack disassembly and spacer rearrangement or replacement for clearance

Choosing the Correct Frogger High Score Save Kit

HighScoreSaves offers two different upgrades for compatible original Frogger arcade hardware. Both provide Free Play and permanent score saving, but the correct Frogger high score save kit depends on the original PCB, the type of settings and diagnostics you want, and how much board-stack disassembly you are comfortable with during installation.

The HighScoreSaves kit is documented specifically for compatible original Konami and Sega/Gremlin Frogger PCBs using the 36-pin edge connector. The Braze Technologies kit installs on a compatible original Frogger board set and has additional clearance considerations because its daughterboard sits within the stacked PCB assembly.

Original Frogger PCB Compatibility

HighScoreSaves Frogger Kit Designed for documented compatible original Konami and Sega/Gremlin Frogger PCBs using the 36-pin edge connector. The installation uses the original Z80 processor and requires a compatible 40-pin CPU socket.
Braze Frogger Kit Designed for a compatible original Frogger arcade board set. The original processor is transferred from the CPU board to the Braze daughterboard, and the original processor location must be socketed.
Original Arcade Hardware Required Neither product is intended as a replacement game board, emulator, or generic multicade solution. Identify the actual Frogger PCB before choosing a kit.

Kit Best Fit Important Compatibility or Installation Detail
HighScoreSaves Frogger Kit Best for customers wanting menu-driven settings, separate supported score tables, backup and restore, Stealth Mode, ROM Saver, and an optional Wi-Fi leaderboard version Compatible original Konami or Sega/Gremlin Frogger PCB using the documented 36-pin edge connector; original Z80 installs on the daughterboard through a compatible 40-pin CPU socket
Braze Frogger Kit Best for customers wanting Braze True Free Play, automatic power-on diagnostics, on-screen settings, and expanded hardware test functions Installs on a compatible original Frogger board set; partial board-stack disassembly and spacer rearrangement or replacement may be required to provide daughterboard clearance

Frogger Processor and CPU Socket Requirements

Both Frogger upgrades install through the original processor location rather than replacing the original arcade PCB.

The HighScoreSaves kit specifically uses the original Z80 processor. The Z80 is removed from its socket on the Frogger PCB, installed on the daughterboard, and the completed assembly is inserted into the vacated 40-pin CPU socket.

The Braze kit similarly uses the processor removed from the original Frogger CPU board. If the required processor is soldered directly to the PCB rather than installed in a compatible socket, a qualified arcade technician must remove it and install the proper socket before either upgrade can be fitted.

Braze Frogger Board-Stack and Clearance Requirements

Frogger Uses a Stacked PCB Assembly Reaching the CPU location for the Braze installation may require removing and partially disassembling the original Frogger board stack.
The Daughterboard Adds Height Once installed, the Braze daughterboard occupies additional space above the original CPU location. Existing spacers may need to be rearranged or replaced to maintain proper clearance between the boards.
Do Not Force the Board Stack Together Confirm that the installed daughterboard does not contact the adjacent PCB. Review the current Braze installation guide and its board-stack photographs before disassembling or reassembling the original hardware.

Frogger Pre-Order Compatibility Checklist

1. Identify the Original Frogger PCB Confirm that the cabinet contains compatible original Frogger arcade hardware rather than an emulator, generic multicade board, or unsupported reproduction PCB.
2. Check the Hardware Against the Selected Kit For the HighScoreSaves kit, verify compatible Konami or Sega/Gremlin hardware using the documented 36-pin edge connector. For Braze, verify the compatible original Frogger board set against its installation documentation.
3. Inspect the Processor Socket Confirm that the original CPU can be removed from a compatible socket. A soldered processor requires proper removal and socket installation before either daughterboard can be used.
4. Check Board-Stack Clearance for Braze If choosing the Braze kit, inspect the stacked board arrangement and be prepared to rearrange or replace spacers if additional daughterboard clearance is required.
5. Review the Exact Installation Guide HighScoreSaves and Braze use different daughterboards and installation procedures. Review the guide for the exact product you plan to purchase before removing the processor or Frogger board stack.

After Choosing the Correct Frogger Kit

Once the original Frogger PCB, processor socket, installation requirements, and preferred upgrade have been confirmed, use the matching product page for its complete feature list, current options, included components, pricing, and ordering information.

This category is intended primarily to compare Frogger PCB compatibility and installation differences so customers can choose between the HighScoreSaves and Braze Frogger upgrades before ordering.

Frogger Kit Compatibility FAQ

How many Frogger high score save kits are available here?

Two: the HighScoreSaves Frogger Kit and the Braze Technologies Frogger Kit.

Which kit is documented for Konami and Sega/Gremlin Frogger PCBs?

The HighScoreSaves Frogger Kit is documented for compatible original Konami and Sega/Gremlin Frogger PCBs using the 36-pin edge connector.

Which Frogger kit may require board-spacer changes?

The Braze Frogger Kit may require existing spacers to be rearranged or replaced so the installed daughterboard has adequate clearance within the original stacked board set.

Does either Frogger kit require soldering?

Not when the required original processor is already installed in a compatible socket. If it is soldered directly to the PCB, a qualified arcade technician must remove it and install the appropriate socket first.

Which Frogger kit offers optional Wi-Fi high score uploading?

The HighScoreSaves Frogger Kit is currently offered in an optional Wi-Fi version. The Braze Frogger product is not currently offered with the HighScoreSaves Wi-Fi leaderboard option.
