Game Selection and Settings Menu Access

Included Games and Score Saving
Super Multipede includes Centipede, Millipede, Super Breakout, and Warlords. Centipede and Millipede save the Top 8 scores, while Super Breakout and Warlords save the Top 5 scores.
Supported scores and settings are stored through serial EEPROM instead of batteries or NVRAM. This gives the cabinet reliable local score retention while keeping the original Atari Millipede PCB as the core hardware platform.
Separate supported score tables are available for Centipede, Millipede, and Super Breakout. Warlords is included as a Free Play only mode and is limited to one-player support because of the hardware setup.
Free Play, Coin-Up, Attract Sounds, and Cabinet Support
Free Play allows supported games to start without inserting coins. Traditional Coin-Up operation can still be used when enabled, except for Warlords, which operates in Free Play mode only.
Attract-sound settings can be adjusted per game at 25%, 50%, or 100%. The kit also supports attract mode behavior that helps reduce static screen burn by avoiding completely static idle screens.
The kit supports upright and cocktail cabinet configurations. In cocktail mode, Centipede and Millipede can flip the screen correctly, while Super Breakout and Warlords use the Player 1 side controls.
Installation and PCB Requirements
- This Super Multipede multigame kit installs on a documented compatible original Atari Millipede PCB only.
- A 6502 processor is required for installation.
- The kit includes a 6502 main daughter card, graphics daughter card, and ribbon cable.
- The original 6502 is removed from the PCB, installed on the main daughter card, and the daughter card is installed where the 6502 was located.
- If the 6502 is not already socketed, a compatible 40-pin socket must be installed before using the kit.
- The graphics character set daughter card installs at the documented 5P and 5R locations.
- The included ribbon cable connects the main daughter card to the graphics daughter card.
- A riser socket may be needed for clearance near the Millipede PCB test points.
- ROM Saver support allows the original program ROMs from 1H through 1M to be removed after the kit is installed.
- Review the installation guide before setup and verify processor orientation, socket condition, ribbon cable placement, graphics daughter card placement, board clearance, and all installation steps before restoring cabinet power.
Standard and Optional Wi-Fi Versions
Standard kits save supported scores, settings, and configuration data locally to the PCB. An internet connection is not required for gameplay, Free Play, Coin-Up operation, game selection, or local score saving.
Optional 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi kits include the same local features and add supported online score submission through the HighScoreSaves leaderboard platform.
