Just the FAQ's
Which boards does this kit support?
This kit is designed for original Juno First PCBs. Verify your CPU socketing (Konami-1) before ordering.
How many scores are saved and how?
It saves the Top 20 scores to reliable serial EEPROM (non-volatile), so scores persist through power cycles.

Yes. Free Play is built in, and Coin Up is still supported if you prefer coin operation.
Can I change DIP settings without opening the cabinet?
Yes. All DIP options are menu-driven via the on-screen interface.
What is ROM Saver and why would I use it?
ROM Saver lets you remove the original program ROMs; the program runs on the kit, reducing power draw and wear on aging parts.

Yes. The kit maintains separate tables for 3, 4, 5, and 7 lives so competitions stay fair across settings.
