Guzzler High Score Save Kit Compatibility | Tehkan
Verify compatibility before ordering the Guzzler high score save kit for documented compatible original Tehkan Guzzler arcade hardware. The kit installs through the original Z80 processor location and keeps the original Tehkan arcade PCB in service.
Choosing the Correct Guzzler Arcade PCB Upgrade
The HighScoreSaves Guzzler kit is designed for documented compatible original Tehkan Guzzler arcade PCBs. Before ordering, confirm the actual game board, Z80 processor location, processor socket, and installation condition.
The main compatibility checks for a Guzzler high score save kit are the original Tehkan PCB, a compatible Z80 processor, a usable 40-pin processor socket, and following the correct ROM Saver installation procedure.
Original Tehkan Guzzler PCB Compatibility
Guzzler Z80 Processor Requirements
The Guzzler kit installs through the documented Z80 processor location on compatible original Tehkan hardware.
The processor location must have a compatible 40-pin socket.
If the original Z80 is soldered directly to the PCB, a qualified arcade technician must properly remove it and install a compatible 40-pin socket before the daughterboard can be installed.
How the Guzzler Z80 Daughterboard Installation Works
Guzzler ROM Saver Compatibility
The kit supports ROM Saver operation on documented compatible original Guzzler hardware.
Remove only the designated original program ROMs identified in the current Guzzler installation guide. Do not remove unrelated ROMs, PROMs, processors, or other components.
Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility
Current documentation supports documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations. Cabinet style alone does not establish compatibility, so the original Tehkan Guzzler PCB, Z80 processor, and processor socket should still be verified before ordering.

Guzzler PCB Compatibility FAQ
Which arcade PCB does the Guzzler kit support?
The HighScoreSaves Guzzler kit is designed for documented compatible original Tehkan Guzzler arcade PCBs.
Which processor is required?
The kit requires a Z80 processor installed at a compatible socketed 40-pin processor location.
Does installation require soldering?
No soldering is required when the Z80 location already has a compatible 40-pin socket. A soldered processor must be professionally removed and socketed before the daughterboard can be installed.
Can the original program ROMs be removed?
Yes, when using supported ROM Saver functionality, but remove only the designated program ROMs identified in the current installation guide.
Does the kit replace the original Tehkan PCB?
No. The HighScoreSaves daughterboard works with the original compatible Tehkan Guzzler arcade PCB rather than replacing the game hardware.
Are upright and cocktail cabinets supported?
Yes. Current documentation supports documented upright and cocktail configurations when the underlying Tehkan Guzzler hardware is compatible.
