Compare Pac-Man Plus Arcade PCB Upgrade Options
HighScoreSaves offers three documented upgrade options that include Pac-Man Plus. The main difference is how many games and additional operator features you want while continuing to use compatible original Pac-Man-family arcade hardware.
All three options provide permanent score saving, Free Play, menu-driven settings, extended scoring, local serial EEPROM storage, and optional Wi-Fi. The correct Pac-Man Plus high score save kit depends primarily on whether you want a focused Pac-Man Plus upgrade or a multigame setup.

Which Pac-Man Plus Kit Should You Choose?
Original Pac-Man-Family Hardware Requirements
These kits are designed for documented compatible original Pac-Man-family arcade PCBs and install at the documented 40-pin Z80 processor location.
The original Z80 processor is transferred to the daughterboard unless a compatible processor option is selected.
No soldering is required when the Z80 processor location already has a compatible 40-pin socket.
Socketed vs. Soldered Z80
Program ROM Removal
Designated original program ROMs must be removed as directed by the applicable installation guide.
Use the Pac-Man Plus single-kit guide for the focused Pac-Man Plus kit and the Pac-Man multigame guide for the multigame versions. Remove only the program ROMs specified for the kit being installed.
Standard and Wi-Fi Kit Compatibility
Standard kits save supported scores, initials, settings, and configuration data locally using serial EEPROM storage. An internet connection is not required.
Optional 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi versions include the same local features and can submit supported completed scores after qualifying initials are entered. Wi-Fi can be disabled without affecting local score saving, game selection, gameplay, Free Play, or menu operation.

Pac-Man Plus Kit FAQ
Which kit is best if I only want Pac-Man Plus?
Choose the Pac-Man Plus Standard Kit. It includes original-speed and fast Pac-Man Plus without adding the multigame titles.

Both the five-game Pac-Man / Ms. Pac-Man Multigame Kit and the seven-game Pac-Man Rearranged Kit include Pac-Man Plus.
Which kit includes Pac-Man Rearranged?

How is the game-selection menu opened?
During attract mode, hold Player 1 Start for approximately four seconds to open the supported game-selection and settings menu.
Do all three kits save player initials?
