Super Pac-Man High Score Save Kit Compatibility
Verify compatibility before ordering the Super Pac-Man high score save kit for documented compatible original Super Pac-Man arcade hardware. The HighScoreSaves daughterboard installs at the original 6809E processor location while retaining the original PCB, cabinet controls, gameplay timing, and dedicated Super Pac-Man hardware platform.
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
Super Pac-Man 6809E Processor Requirements
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.
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.
