Tutankham High Score Save Kit Compatibility
Verify compatibility before ordering the Tutankham high score save kit for documented compatible original Konami Tutankham arcade hardware. The upgrade requires a compatible 6809E processor and a proper 40-pin CPU socket for normal plug-in installation.
Choosing the Correct Tutankham Arcade PCB Upgrade
The HighScoreSaves Tutankham upgrade is designed for documented compatible original Konami Tutankham arcade hardware. Compatibility should be confirmed from the actual PCB and processor configuration inside the cabinet rather than from cabinet artwork or the game title alone.
Before ordering a Tutankham high score save kit, verify the original PCB, required 6809E processor, compatible 40-pin CPU socket, surrounding board condition, and installation requirements shown in the installation guide.
Original Konami Tutankham Hardware Required
Tutankham 6809E Processor Requirements
Socketed vs. Soldered 6809E Installation
Normal plug-in installation requires the 6809E processor location to already use a suitable compatible 40-pin socket.
If the processor is soldered directly to the PCB, a compatible 40-pin socket must be installed before fitting the daughterboard. Installing a CPU socket is a PCB modification and should be performed by someone experienced with arcade-board soldering and component removal.
ROM Saver and Original Program ROMs
The Tutankham kit supports ROM Saver functionality, allowing the documented original program ROMs to be removed if desired while the HighScoreSaves kit provides the supported game program.
Follow the installation documentation before removing any original ROMs. Label and store original components carefully so they remain available for future troubleshooting, restoration, or return to the original configuration.
High Score Saving and Lives-Based Score Tables
The compatible Tutankham upgrade permanently saves the Top 5 supported high scores with initials using serial EEPROM storage.
Separate supported score tables are maintained for 2, 3, 4, and 5 lives. Full purchase-specific features, Standard versus Wi-Fi choices, and ordering options remain on the product page so this compatibility category can stay focused on original hardware identification and selecting the correct upgrade.
Upright and Cocktail Cabinet Compatibility
The current Tutankham kit documentation specifies support for documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations. Cabinet style does not replace the need to verify the actual original PCB, 6809E processor, and CPU socket before ordering.
Tutankham Pre-Order Checklist
After Confirming Compatibility
Once the original Tutankham PCB, 6809E processor, compatible 40-pin socket, and board condition have been confirmed, use the product page for complete kit features, Standard versus Wi-Fi options, current pricing, availability, and ordering.
