Choosing the Correct Jr. Pac-Man Arcade PCB Upgrade

The HighScoreSaves Jr. Pac-Man kit is designed for documented compatible original Jr. Pac-Man and Field Kit PCBs. Before ordering, confirm the actual arcade PCB, Z80 processor location, compatible CPU socket, and overall board condition.

The main compatibility checks for a Jr. Pac-Man high score save kit are the correct original hardware, a compatible Z80 processor location, a 40-pin CPU socket, and following the documented ROM Saver installation procedure.

Original Jr. Pac-Man and Field Kit PCB Compatibility

Original Jr. Pac-Man PCB The kit supports documented compatible original Jr. Pac-Man arcade PCBs.
Field Kit PCB Documented compatible Field Kit PCBs are also supported by the HighScoreSaves Jr. Pac-Man kit.
Original Hardware Remains in Service The HighScoreSaves daughterboard works with compatible original arcade hardware rather than replacing the game board with an emulation platform, reproduction PCB, or generic multicade system.

Jr. Pac-Man Z80 Processor Requirements

The Jr. Pac-Man kit requires a Z80 processor installed at the documented processor location on compatible original hardware.

The Z80 processor location must use a compatible 40-pin socket.

If the Z80 is soldered directly to the PCB, a qualified arcade technician must properly remove the processor and install a compatible 40-pin socket before the HighScoreSaves kit can be installed.

Socketed vs. Soldered Z80

Socketed Z80 No soldering is required for normal kit installation when the Z80 location already has a compatible 40-pin socket.
Soldered Z80 If the processor is soldered directly to the PCB, socket installation is required before the daughterboard can be fitted. This work should be performed by a qualified arcade technician.

Jr. Pac-Man ROM Saver Compatibility

The kit supports ROM Saver functionality on documented compatible Jr. Pac-Man and Field Kit hardware.

Remove only the designated original ROMs identified in the current Jr. Pac-Man installation guide. Do not remove unrelated processors, ROMs, PROMs, or other components.

Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility

The Jr. Pac-Man kit supports documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations. Cabinet style alone does not establish PCB compatibility, so verify the original Jr. Pac-Man or Field Kit PCB and Z80 processor location before ordering.

Jr. Pac-Man Pre-Order Compatibility Checklist

1. Confirm the Original PCB Verify a documented compatible original Jr. Pac-Man or Field Kit PCB.
2. Verify the Z80 Processor Confirm the documented processor location uses the required Z80 processor.
3. Inspect the 40-Pin Socket Confirm the Z80 is already socketed or arrange professional socket installation before attempting the upgrade.
4. Review ROM Saver Requirements Identify only the designated original ROMs shown in the installation guide before removing components.
5. Verify Orientation Before Power-Up Check Pin 1 orientation, processor alignment, socket condition, daughterboard seating, and all processor pins before restoring cabinet power.

After Confirming Jr. Pac-Man Compatibility

Once you have confirmed the correct Jr. Pac-Man or Field Kit PCB, Z80 processor, compatible 40-pin socket, and ROM Saver requirements, use the product page for complete feature details, Standard/Wi-Fi choices, current pricing, availability, and ordering information.
