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