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.
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.

Use this comparison to choose the Frogger upgrade that best matches your original hardware and installation needs. The individual product pages contain the complete current feature lists, options, pricing, and ordering information.
| 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.
