Choosing the Correct Super Multipede Arcade PCB Upgrade

The HighScoreSaves Super Multipede upgrade is designed for documented compatible original Atari Millipede arcade PCBs only. It is not a Centipede-PCB upgrade and should not be selected based only on cabinet artwork or the game currently displayed in the cabinet.

Before ordering a Super Multipede high score save kit, verify the original Millipede PCB, 6502 processor location, compatible CPU socket, graphics daughterboard locations, ribbon-cable routing, ROM Saver requirements, and available board clearance.

Original Atari Millipede PCB Required

Millipede PCB Only The Super Multipede kit installs on documented compatible original Atari Millipede arcade hardware.
Original Atari Hardware Remains in Service The original Millipede PCB remains the core hardware platform rather than being replaced by an emulator, reproduction PCB, or generic multicade system.
Do Not Assume Centipede Hardware Is Compatible Even though Centipede is one of the four included games, this upgrade requires compatible original Atari Millipede hardware.

Super Multipede 6502 Processor Requirements

6502 Processor Required A compatible 6502 processor is required for the documented installation.
Original 6502 Transfers to the Daughter Card The original 6502 is removed from the Millipede PCB and installed on the HighScoreSaves main daughter card.
Compatible 40-Pin Socket Required If the documented 6502 location is not already socketed, a compatible 40-pin socket must be installed before the kit can be used.

Graphics Daughter Card Installation

Super Multipede uses a separate graphics character-set daughter card in addition to the main 6502 daughter card.

Graphics Locations: The graphics daughter card installs at the documented 5P and 5R locations.
Main Daughter Card: Installs at the documented original 6502 processor location.
Ribbon Cable: The included ribbon cable connects the main daughter card to the graphics daughter card.

Millipede PCB Clearance and Riser Socket

A riser socket may be required to provide sufficient clearance near the Millipede PCB test points. Check daughterboard height and surrounding components before applying pressure or restoring the board to its normal mounting position.

Super Multipede ROM Saver Requirements

ROM Saver support allows the original program ROMs at documented locations 1H through 1M to be removed after the kit is installed.

Remove only the program ROMs identified in the installation guide. Label and store the original components so their locations remain documented for future service or restoration.

3. Verify the 40-Pin Socket Confirm that the 6502 location is socketed and suitable for daughterboard installation.
4. Locate 5P and 5R Verify the documented graphics daughterboard installation locations.
5. Check Board Clearance Determine whether a riser socket is needed near the Millipede PCB test points.
6. Review ROM Saver Locations Identify the documented program ROM locations from 1H through 1M before removing any original components.
7. Review the Installation Guide Check processor orientation, socket condition, ribbon-cable placement, graphics daughterboard placement, board clearance, and all installation steps before restoring power.

After Confirming Compatibility
