Choosing the Correct Yie Ar Kung Fu Arcade PCB Upgrade

The Yie Ar Kung Fu upgrade is intended for documented compatible original Konami arcade hardware. It continues to use the original PCB platform, controls, sound, timing, and gameplay hardware rather than replacing the cabinet with an emulation or generic multicade system.

Before ordering a Yie Ar Kung Fu high score save kit, inspect the PCB, locate the required 6809E processor, confirm the CPU location is properly socketed, and review the installation guide for processor orientation and ROM Saver requirements.

Original Konami Yie Ar Kung Fu Hardware

Original PCB Required The kit is designed for documented compatible original Konami Yie Ar Kung Fu arcade PCBs.
Original Hardware Remains the Game Platform The Konami PCB, original controls, sound hardware, timing, and gameplay hardware remain in use after installation.
Inspect the PCB Before Ordering Check the processor area, socket condition, previous repairs, corrosion, damaged traces, or other board issues that could affect installation.

6809E Processor and 40-Pin Socket Requirements

6809E Processor Required The documented Yie Ar Kung Fu installation requires a compatible 6809E processor.
Compatible 40-Pin Socket Required The 6809E processor location must have a compatible 40-pin socket for normal plug-in installation.
Processor Orientation Matters Verify processor and kit orientation carefully before restoring cabinet power.

Socketed vs. Soldered 6809E Installation

No soldering is required for normal installation when the 6809E location already has a compatible 40-pin socket.

If the 6809E is soldered directly to the PCB, a compatible 40-pin socket must be installed before the kit can be fitted. CPU removal and socket installation should be performed by someone experienced with arcade-board soldering and component removal.

ROM Saver and Original Program ROMs

The Yie Ar Kung Fu kit supports ROM Saver operation, allowing designated original program ROMs to be removed if desired while the original Konami PCB remains the core arcade platform.

Follow the installation guide for the documented ROM configuration rather than removing program ROMs based only on their physical location.
