Mappy High Score Save Kit Compatibility
Verify compatibility before ordering the Mappy high score save kit for documented compatible original Namco Mappy arcade hardware. The upgrade installs through the 6809E processor location while keeping the original Namco arcade PCB in service.
Choosing the Correct Mappy Arcade PCB Upgrade
The HighScoreSaves Mappy kit is designed for documented compatible original Namco Mappy arcade PCBs. Before ordering, verify the original board, 6809E processor location, CPU socket, and general PCB condition.
The primary compatibility checks for a Mappy high score save kit are the correct original Namco hardware, a 6809E processor installed in a compatible 40-pin socket, and following the documented installation and ROM Saver requirements.
Original Namco Mappy Hardware
6809E Processor and 40-Pin Socket Requirements
The Mappy kit requires a 6809E processor at the documented processor location.
The 6809E must be installed in a compatible 40-pin CPU socket for normal kit installation.
If the 6809E 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 6809E
Mappy ROM Saver Compatibility
ROM Saver support allows designated original program ROMs to be removed when the kit is installed as directed in the Mappy installation guide.
Remove only the designated original program ROMs identified in the Mappy installation guide. Do not assume ROM positions from another Namco game or another HighScoreSaves kit.
Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility
The kit supports documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations when the underlying Namco Mappy PCB, 6809E processor, and socket requirements are compatible. Cabinet style does not replace the need to verify the original arcade hardware before ordering.

After Confirming Compatibility
Once you have confirmed the original Namco PCB, 6809E 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.
Mappy Compatibility FAQ
Which arcade PCB does the Mappy kit support?
