Choosing the Correct Roc 'n Rope Arcade PCB Upgrade

The HighScoreSaves Roc 'n Rope kit is designed specifically for documented compatible original Konami Roc 'n Rope arcade PCBs. Compatibility depends on the original PCB and processor configuration, not simply the cabinet artwork or game title.

Before ordering a Roc 'n Rope high score save kit, verify the original Konami1 processor location, confirm the required 6809E processor, and review how the Konami1 adapter and daughter card are installed.

Original PCB Remains in Service The Roc 'n Rope PCB continues to operate as the game platform after the processor configuration is changed.
Verify the Existing Board First The existing game PCB should be fully working before installation. This upgrade is not intended to repair an existing PCB fault.

Konami1 Processor and Adapter Configuration

Roc 'n Rope uses a distinctive processor installation. The original Konami1 processor is removed from the active configuration and should be stored safely.

The supplied Konami1 adapter is installed at the original processor location and becomes the mounting point for the HighScoreSaves 6809E daughter card.

6809E Processor Requirements

Compatible 6809E Required A compatible 6809E processor is installed on the HighScoreSaves daughter card.
Daughter Card Installs on the Adapter After the 6809E is installed, the completed daughter card is fitted on top of the Konami1 adapter.
Check Pin 1 Before Power-Up Verify the orientation of the 6809E processor, daughter card, Konami1 adapter, and original PCB against the installation guide before applying power.

What Happens to the Original Konami1 Processor?

The original Konami1 processor is removed during installation and is no longer used while the HighScoreSaves configuration is installed. Store the original processor safely so it remains with the PCB and the original hardware configuration can be documented.

Roc 'n Rope Program ROMs

The installation documentation identifies removal of the original program ROMs as optional.

They do not need to be removed simply to complete the basic daughter-card installation. If the original program ROMs are removed, store them safely and record their original PCB locations.

Original Konami PCB vs. Replacement Hardware
