Choosing the Correct Super Pac-Man Arcade PCB Upgrade

The HighScoreSaves Super Pac-Man upgrade is designed only for documented compatible original Super Pac-Man arcade PCBs. Compatibility should be determined from the actual board and processor configuration rather than cabinet artwork or cabinet history alone.

Before ordering a Super Pac-Man high score save kit, verify the original PCB, required 6809E processor, compatible 40-pin socket, ROM Saver options, daughterboard clearance, and installation requirements shown in the guide.

Original Super Pac-Man Hardware Required

Original PCB The kit is designed for documented compatible original Super Pac-Man arcade hardware.
Original Game Platform Remains in Service The original PCB, cabinet controls, gameplay timing, and Super Pac-Man hardware platform remain the foundation of the machine.
Inspect the Actual Board Vintage cabinets may have been repaired, converted, or modified. Verify the installed PCB before ordering rather than relying only on cabinet artwork.

Super Pac-Man 6809E Processor Requirements

6809E Required A compatible 6809E processor is required for the documented installation.
Original CPU Transfers to the Daughter Card The original 6809E is removed from the PCB and installed on the HighScoreSaves daughter card.
Compatible 40-Pin Socket Required The documented 6809E location must use a compatible 40-pin socket before the daughterboard can be installed.

What If the 6809E Is Soldered to the PCB?

If the original 6809E processor is soldered directly to the Super Pac-Man PCB, a compatible 40-pin socket must be installed before the HighScoreSaves daughterboard can be fitted.

Super Pac-Man ROM Saver and Daughterboard Clearance

The Super Pac-Man kit supports optional removal of designated original program ROMs as part of the ROM Saver installation.

ROM Saver Option Remove only the specific original program ROMs identified in the Super Pac-Man installation guide.
Riser Socket May Be Required If the original program ROMs remain installed, a riser socket may be needed to provide sufficient daughterboard clearance.

Processor Orientation and First Power-Up

Confirm the 6809E notch and Pin 1 orientation, processor-pin alignment, daughterboard seating, socket condition, ROM configuration, and board clearance before restoring cabinet power. If the game does not start after installation, turn power off immediately and recheck the installation.

Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility

The kit supports documented compatible upright and cocktail Super Pac-Man cabinet configurations. Confirm the actual PCB and processor setup regardless of cabinet style before ordering.

Super Pac-Man Settings Menu Access

To access the supported HighScoreSaves settings menu, hold Player 1 Start while turning the cabinet on. Release the button when the on-screen prompt tells you to continue.

Super Pac-Man Pre-Order Checklist

2. Locate the 6809E Processor Identify the documented 6809E processor position on the PCB.
3. Verify the 40-Pin Socket Confirm that the processor location is socketed and suitable for daughterboard installation.
4. Inspect the CPU Area Check the processor pins, socket condition, surrounding PCB area, and any previous repair work.
5. Decide on ROM Saver Review the designated program ROM locations and determine whether a riser socket may be needed if the ROMs remain installed.
6. Review the Installation Guide Verify Pin 1, processor orientation, socket condition, ROM configuration, daughterboard clearance, and all documented installation steps before restoring power.
