Krull High Score Save Kit Compatibility

Verify compatibility before ordering the Krull high score save kit for documented compatible original Gottlieb Krull arcade hardware. The upgrade installs through the original 8088 processor location while keeping the original arcade PCB in service.

Before You Order
Hardware: Confirm a documented compatible original Gottlieb Krull arcade PCB
Processor: Verify the original Intel 8088-compatible processor is installed in a compatible 40-pin socket
Installation: Inspect the CPU socket, Pin 1 orientation, processor pins, board seating, and ROM Saver requirements before installation

Choosing the Correct Krull Arcade PCB Upgrade

The HighScoreSaves Krull kit is designed for documented compatible original Gottlieb Krull arcade PCBs. Before ordering, verify the original arcade board, 8088 processor location, CPU socket, and overall PCB condition.

The primary compatibility checks for a Krull high score save kit are the correct original Gottlieb hardware, an Intel 8088-compatible processor installed in a compatible 40-pin socket, and following the documented ROM Saver and installation requirements.

Original Gottlieb Krull Hardware

Original Gottlieb PCB The kit is intended for documented compatible original Gottlieb Krull arcade PCBs.
Original PCB Remains in Service The HighScoreSaves daughterboard works with the original Krull arcade board rather than replacing it with an emulation system, reproduction PCB, or multicade platform.
Confirm the Actual PCB Cabinet artwork or the Krull title alone does not establish compatibility. Inspect the original PCB and processor location before ordering.

Intel 8088 Processor and 40-Pin Socket Requirements

The Krull kit requires an Intel 8088-compatible processor at the documented processor location.

The original 8088 processor must be installed in a compatible 40-pin CPU socket for normal kit installation.

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

Socketed vs. Soldered 8088 Processor

Socketed 8088 No soldering is required for normal kit installation when the original 8088 processor is already installed in a compatible 40-pin socket.
Soldered 8088 If the processor is soldered directly to the board, compatible socket installation is required before fitting the daughterboard. This work should be performed by a qualified arcade technician.

Krull ROM Saver Compatibility

ROM Saver support allows designated original program ROMs to be removed because the HighScoreSaves daughterboard supplies the required game code.

Follow the Current Installation Guide

Remove only the designated original program ROMs identified in the Krull installation guide. The supplied source does not identify specific ROM locations, so individual socket positions should not be assumed from another Gottlieb kit.

Typical Installation Time

The documented average installation time is approximately 10–20 minutes when the original 8088 processor is already socketed. A soldered processor requires socket installation first and should not be treated as a normal plug-in installation.

Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility

The kit supports documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations when the underlying Gottlieb Krull PCB and processor requirements are compatible. Cabinet style does not replace the need to verify the original PCB and 8088 socket.

Krull Pre-Order Checklist

1. Confirm the Original PCB Verify documented compatible original Gottlieb Krull arcade hardware.
2. Verify the 8088 Processor Confirm the documented processor location uses the required Intel 8088-compatible processor.
3. Inspect the 40-Pin Socket Confirm the processor is already socketed or arrange professional socket installation before attempting the upgrade.
4. Review ROM Saver Instructions Identify only the designated original program ROMs listed in the current installation guide before removing any ROMs.
5. Check Orientation Before Power-Up Verify Pin 1 orientation, processor alignment, socket condition, board seating, and every processor pin before restoring cabinet power.

After Confirming Compatibility

Once you have confirmed the original Gottlieb PCB, Intel 8088-compatible processor, compatible 40-pin socket, and ROM Saver requirements, use the product page for complete feature information, Standard/Wi-Fi choices, current pricing, availability, and ordering.

Krull Compatibility FAQ

Which arcade PCB does the kit support?

The kit is designed for documented compatible original Gottlieb Krull arcade PCBs.

Which processor is required?

The kit requires an Intel 8088-compatible processor installed in a compatible 40-pin processor socket.

Does installation require soldering?

No soldering is required when the original 8088 is already socketed. A soldered processor requires professional 40-pin socket installation first.

Can the original program ROMs be removed?

Yes. ROM Saver allows designated original program ROMs to be removed because the daughterboard supplies the required game code when installed as directed.

Are upright and cocktail cabinets supported?

Yes. Documented compatible upright and cocktail configurations are supported when the underlying PCB and processor requirements are met.
