Ladybug High Score Save Kit Compatibility
Verify compatibility before ordering the Ladybug high score save kit for documented compatible original Universal Ladybug arcade hardware. The upgrade installs through the original Z80 processor location while keeping the original Universal arcade PCB in service.
Choosing the Correct Ladybug Arcade PCB Upgrade
The HighScoreSaves Ladybug kit is designed for documented compatible original Universal Ladybug arcade PCBs. Before ordering, verify the original board, Z80 processor location, CPU socket, and general PCB condition.
The primary compatibility checks for a Ladybug high score save kit are the correct original Universal hardware, a Z80 processor installed in a compatible 40-pin socket, and following the documented installation and ROM Saver requirements.
Original Universal Ladybug Hardware
Z80 Processor and 40-Pin Socket Requirements
The Ladybug kit requires a Z80 processor at the documented processor location.
The Z80 must be installed in a compatible 40-pin CPU socket for normal kit installation.
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.
Socketed vs. Soldered Z80
Ladybug ROM Saver Compatibility
ROM Saver support allows designated original program ROMs to be removed when the kit is installed as directed in the current Ladybug installation guide.
Remove only the designated original program ROMs identified in the Ladybug installation guide. Do not assume ROM positions from another Universal game or another HighScoreSaves kit.
Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility
The kit supports documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations when the underlying Universal Ladybug PCB, Z80 processor, and socket requirements are compatible. Cabinet style does not replace the need to verify the original arcade hardware before ordering.
Ladybug Pre-Order Checklist
After Confirming Compatibility
Once you have confirmed the original Universal PCB, Z80 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.
Ladybug Compatibility FAQ
Which arcade PCB does the Ladybug kit support?

Can original program ROMs be removed?
Yes. ROM Saver allows designated original program ROMs to be removed when the kit is installed as directed in the Ladybug installation guide.
Are upright and cocktail cabinets supported?
Yes. Documented compatible upright and cocktail configurations are supported when the underlying PCB, processor, and socket requirements are met.
