Ghosts 'n Goblins High Score Save Kit Compatibility
Verify compatibility before ordering the Ghosts 'n Goblins high score save kit for documented compatible original Capcom Ghosts 'n Goblins arcade hardware. The kit requires the correct original PCB, a standard 6809 processor, and a compatible socketed 40-pin CPU location.
Choosing the Correct Ghosts 'n Goblins Arcade PCB Upgrade
The HighScoreSaves Ghosts 'n Goblins kit is designed for documented compatible original Capcom Ghosts 'n Goblins arcade PCBs. Before ordering, verify the original board, processor type, processor socket, and general PCB condition rather than relying only on cabinet artwork or the game currently running.
The most important processor check is the difference between a standard 6809 and a 6809E. The Ghosts 'n Goblins high score save kit requires a standard 6809 and is not compatible with a 6809E.
Original Capcom Ghosts 'n Goblins PCB Compatibility
Standard 6809 Processor Requirement
The Ghosts 'n Goblins kit requires a standard 6809 processor.
A processor marked 6809E is electrically different from the standard 6809 required by this kit and should not be treated as an interchangeable replacement.
This HighScoreSaves kit is not compatible with 6809E processors.
40-Pin Processor Socket Requirement
The Ghosts 'n Goblins daughterboard installs at the documented standard 6809 processor location. That location must have a compatible 40-pin socket.

Ghosts 'n Goblins ROM Saver Compatibility
The kit supports a ROM Saver configuration that can eliminate dependence on designated original program ROMs.
Remove only the original program ROMs identified in the current Ghosts 'n Goblins installation guide. Do not remove unrelated ROMs, PROMs, processors, or other components based only on their physical appearance or location.
Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility
Current product documentation supports documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations. Cabinet style alone does not establish PCB compatibility, so the original game board and processor should still be verified before ordering.
