Pac-Man Rearranged Multigame Kit Compatibility
Verify compatibility before ordering the Pac-Man Rearranged high score save kit for documented compatible original Pac-Man-family arcade hardware. This upgrade keeps the original arcade PCB in service while adding Pac-Man Rearranged and the supported multigame functionality.
Choosing the Correct Pac-Man Rearranged Arcade Upgrade
Pac-Man Rearranged is designed for documented compatible original Pac-Man-family arcade hardware. The original arcade PCB remains in service rather than being replaced with an emulation platform, reproduction board, or generic multicade system.
Before ordering a Pac-Man Rearranged high score save kit, confirm the original PCB, documented Z80 processor location, compatible 40-pin socket, and installation requirements.
Original Pac-Man-Family Hardware Compatibility
Z80 Processor and 40-Pin Socket Requirements
The Pac-Man Rearranged kit installs at the documented Z80 processor location on compatible original hardware.
The processor location must use a compatible 40-pin CPU socket for normal installation.
If the Z80 is soldered directly to the original PCB, a qualified arcade technician must install a compatible socket before the kit can be used.
Processor Transfer During Installation
During installation, the original Z80 is removed from the arcade PCB and transferred to the HighScoreSaves daughterboard unless a compatible processor option is selected. Verify processor orientation and inspect every pin carefully before restoring cabinet power.
Program ROM Requirements
The Pac-Man Rearranged installation uses the HighScoreSaves kit for the supported program code. Designated original program ROMs must be removed as directed by the applicable installation guide.
Remove only the designated program ROMs identified in the Pac-Man multigame installation guide. Do not assume ROM locations from another arcade board or unrelated kit.
What Is Pac-Man Rearranged?
Pac-Man Rearranged combines level elements inspired by Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man Plus, and Ms. Pac-Man Plus into a different progression designed for compatible original arcade hardware.
The gameplay difficulty changes as play progresses, creating a different challenge while retaining the original cabinet controls and arcade hardware. Supported settings also allow additional configuration through the HighScoreSaves menu.
