Choosing the Correct Juno First Arcade PCB Upgrade

The HighScoreSaves Juno First kit is designed for documented compatible original Konami Juno First arcade PCBs. Before ordering, confirm the actual arcade PCB, required processor hardware, CPU socket, and overall installation condition.

The main compatibility checks for a Juno First high score save kit are the correct original Konami PCB, the required 6809E processor, a socketed Konami-1 CPU location, a compatible 40-pin socket, and following the documented ROM Saver procedure.

Original Konami Juno First PCB Compatibility

Original Konami Hardware The kit is intended for documented compatible original Konami Juno First arcade PCBs.
Original PCB Remains in Service The HighScoreSaves daughterboard works with the original Konami arcade PCB rather than replacing it with an emulation platform, reproduction PCB, or multicade system.
Inspect the Hardware Before Ordering Access to the original PCB is required during installation, so inspect the CPU location, socket condition, component orientation, and overall board condition before ordering.

Juno First 6809E and Konami-1 CPU Requirements

The Juno First kit requires a 6809E processor on documented compatible original Konami hardware.

The documented Konami-1 CPU location must be installed in a compatible 40-pin socket.

If the required CPU location 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 fitted.

Socketed vs. Soldered CPU Location

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

Juno First ROM Saver Compatibility

The kit supports ROM Saver functionality on documented compatible original Juno First hardware.

Remove only the designated original ROMs identified in the current Juno First installation guide. Do not remove unrelated processors, ROMs, PROMs, or other components.

Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility

The Juno First kit supports documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations. Cabinet style alone does not establish PCB compatibility, so the original Konami Juno First PCB and required CPU location should still be verified before ordering.

Juno First Pre-Order Compatibility Checklist

2. Verify the Required 6809E Processor Confirm the documented processor requirement before removing or installing components.
3. Inspect the Konami-1 CPU Socket Confirm the required CPU location is installed in a compatible 40-pin socket or arrange professional socket installation before attempting the upgrade.
4. Review ROM Saver Requirements Identify only the designated original ROMs shown in the current Juno First 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.
