Jail Break Free Play and High Score Save Kit for Konami Arcade PCB
Upgrade your original Konami Jail Break arcade PCB with Free Play, Top 5 high score saving with initials, attract sounds, menu-driven settings, and optional Wi-Fi leaderboard support while preserving the original gameplay, timing, controls, and sound.
This plug-and-play arcade PCB upgrade uses the original 6809E processor and authentic Konami hardware. Installation requires a socketed 6809E CPU. No soldering is required when the original processor is already installed in a socket.
Free Play
Start games without coins while retaining normal coin operation when desired.
High Score Saving
Battery-free serial EEPROM storage retains scores and settings after power is turned off.
Optional Wi-Fi
Submit qualifying scores to the HighScoreSaves online leaderboard.
Original Hardware
Designed specifically for an original Konami Jail Break arcade PCB.
Add Permanent Score Saving to Your Original Jail Break Arcade PCB
Original Jail Break arcade hardware does not retain high scores after the machine is powered off. This kit adds battery-free serial EEPROM score storage while continuing to use the original Konami PCB, 6809E processor, controls, sound hardware, and game program.
The kit permanently stores the Top 5 scores with player initials. It also adds Free Play, Coin-Up support, attract sounds, menu-driven DIP settings, separate score tables for 2, 3, 4, or 5 lives, attract-mode protection, ROM Saver support, and score backup and restore.
This is not an emulator, replacement game board, or multigame system. The original Jail Break gameplay remains unchanged.
