Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road High Score Save Kit Compatibility
Verify compatibility before ordering the Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road high score save kit for documented compatible original Konami Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road arcade hardware. The upgrade installs through the original 6809E processor location while keeping the original arcade PCB in service.
Choosing the Correct Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road Arcade PCB Upgrade
The HighScoreSaves Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road kit is designed for documented compatible original Konami Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road arcade PCBs. Before ordering, verify the original board, 6809E processor location, CPU socket, and overall PCB condition.
The primary compatibility checks for a Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road high score save kit are the correct original Konami hardware, a 6809E processor installed in a compatible 40-pin socket, and following the documented installation and ROM Saver requirements.
Original Konami Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road Hardware
6809E Processor and 40-Pin Socket Requirements
The Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road kit requires a 6809E processor at the documented processor location.
The processor must be installed in a compatible 40-pin CPU socket for normal daughterboard installation.
If the 6809E is soldered directly to the PCB, a qualified arcade technician must remove the processor and install a compatible 40-pin socket before the kit can be used.

Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road ROM Saver Compatibility
ROM Saver support allows designated original program ROMs to be removed when the kit is installed as directed in the installation guide.
Remove only the original program ROMs specifically identified in the current Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road installation guide. The supplied source does not identify individual ROM locations, so no ROM positions should be assumed from another Konami game or kit.
Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility
The kit supports documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations when the underlying Konami Kicker / Shao-Lin's Road PCB and processor requirements are compatible. Cabinet style does not replace the need to verify the original PCB and 6809E socket before ordering.
