Kangaroo High Score Save Kit Compatibility | Sun Electronics
Verify compatibility before ordering the Kangaroo high score save kit for documented compatible original Sun Electronics Kangaroo arcade hardware. The kit installs through the original Z80 processor location while keeping the original arcade PCB in service.
Choosing the Correct Kangaroo Arcade PCB Upgrade
The HighScoreSaves Kangaroo kit is designed for documented compatible original Sun Electronics Kangaroo arcade PCBs. Before ordering, verify the original PCB, Z80 processor location, CPU socket, and overall board condition.
The main compatibility checks for a Kangaroo high score save kit are the correct original Sun Electronics hardware, a Z80 processor installed in a compatible 40-pin socket, and following the documented ROM Saver installation procedure.
Original Sun Electronics Kangaroo PCB Compatibility
Kangaroo Z80 Processor Requirements
The Kangaroo kit requires a Z80 processor installed at the documented CPU location on compatible original hardware.
The processor must be installed in a compatible 40-pin CPU 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
Kangaroo ROM Saver Compatibility
The kit supports ROM Saver functionality on documented compatible original Kangaroo hardware.
Remove only the designated original program ROMs identified in the current Kangaroo installation guide. Do not remove unrelated processors, ROMs, PROMs, or other components.
Upright, Cocktail, and Display Orientation
The Kangaroo kit supports documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations using compatible original hardware.
Flip Screen support is also available for documented installations where the display orientation requires rotation. Cabinet style or monitor orientation does not replace the need to verify the underlying Kangaroo PCB and CPU socket before ordering.

Kangaroo PCB Compatibility FAQ
Which arcade PCB does the Kangaroo kit support?
The HighScoreSaves Kangaroo kit is designed for documented compatible original Sun Electronics Kangaroo arcade PCBs.
Which processor does the Kangaroo kit require?
The kit requires a Z80 processor installed in a compatible 40-pin processor socket.
Does Kangaroo kit installation require soldering?
No soldering is required when the Z80 is already installed in a compatible 40-pin socket. If the processor is soldered directly to the PCB, a compatible socket must be professionally installed first.
Can original program ROMs be removed?
Yes, when using supported ROM Saver functionality, but remove only the designated original program ROMs identified in the current Kangaroo installation guide.
Are upright and cocktail cabinets supported?
Yes. The kit supports documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations when the underlying Kangaroo hardware is compatible.
Does Flip Screen affect PCB compatibility?
No. Flip Screen is a display-orientation feature. PCB compatibility still depends on the documented original Kangaroo hardware, Z80 processor, and required CPU socket.
