Mouse Trap High Score Save Kit Compatibility
Verify compatibility before ordering the Mouse Trap high score save kit for documented compatible original Exidy Mouse Trap arcade hardware. The upgrade installs through the 6502 processor location while keeping the original Exidy arcade PCB in service.
Choosing the Correct Mouse Trap Arcade PCB Upgrade
The HighScoreSaves Mouse Trap kit is designed for documented compatible original Exidy Mouse Trap arcade PCBs. Before ordering, verify the original board, 6502 processor location, CPU socket, and overall PCB condition.
The primary compatibility checks for a Mouse Trap high score save kit are the correct original Exidy hardware, a 6502 processor installed in a compatible 40-pin socket, and following the documented installation and ROM Saver requirements.
Original Exidy Mouse Trap Hardware
6502 Processor and 40-Pin Socket Requirements
The Mouse Trap kit requires a 6502 processor at the documented processor location.
The 6502 must be installed in a compatible 40-pin CPU socket for normal kit installation.
If the 6502 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 6502
Mouse Trap ROM Saver Compatibility
ROM Saver functionality allows designated original program ROMs to be removed because the program runs from the kit when installed as directed in the Mouse Trap installation guide.
Remove only the designated original program ROMs identified in the Mouse Trap installation guide. Do not assume ROM positions from another Exidy game or another HighScoreSaves kit.
Lives Settings and Score Table Compatibility
The kit supports separate score tables for documented 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-lives settings. This keeps saved scores separated when different lives configurations are used.
Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility
Documented compatible upright and cocktail cabinet configurations are supported when the underlying Exidy Mouse Trap PCB, 6502 processor, and socket requirements are met.
