Before ordering the Jungle Hunt / Jungle King multigame high score save kit, verify the PCB stack, Z80 processor location, CPU socket condition, daughter-card installation points, and ROM-removal requirements.

Compatible SJ Taito Host PCBs

Jungle Hunt PCB Documented compatible original Jungle Hunt SJ Taito hardware can serve as the host platform for this multigame upgrade.
Elevator Action PCB Documented compatible original Elevator Action SJ Taito hardware is also supported as a host platform.
Identify the Actual PCB Do not determine compatibility only from the cabinet artwork or which game is currently running. Inspect the original SJ Taito PCB stack and compare it with the installation documentation before ordering.

Z80 Processor and Socket Requirements

A socketed Z80 processor is required for installation on documented compatible SJ Taito hardware.

If the required Z80 is already installed in a compatible socket, the daughter-card installation can proceed according to the guide.

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

This SJ Taito installation uses documented main and sound processor locations. Follow the current installation guide carefully when identifying these positions.

Main Z80 — IC56 The installation guide identifies the main Z80 CPU location at IC56 for the documented installation procedure.
