Pacman Plus Free Play and High Score Save Kit

Product information "Pacman Plus Free Play and High Score Save Kit"

The HighScoreSaves Pac-Man Plus Free Play and High Score Save Kit upgrades documented compatible original Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man arcade PCBs with original-speed and fast Pac-Man Plus, Free Play, permanent Top 10 score and initials saving, independent speed-mode score tables, extended scoring, attract sounds, menu-driven settings, ROM Saver functionality, Backup and Restore, and optional Wi-Fi leaderboard support while retaining the original arcade PCB.

Pac-Man Plus Compatibility & Requirements

Compatible PCB: Documented compatible original Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man arcade PCB
Processor: Compatible Z80 processor
Processor Location: Documented 40-pin Z80 socket
Processor Transfer: Original Z80 is transferred from the PCB to the HighScoreSaves daughterboard unless a compatible processor option is selected
Soldering: Not required when the documented Z80 location already has a compatible 40-pin socket
Program ROMs: Designated original row 6 program ROMs must be removed as directed in the installation guide
Cabinet Support: Documented upright and cocktail cabinet configurations

Installation: Plug-in installation when the documented Z80 processor location is already socketed. The original Z80 is moved to the daughterboard unless a compatible processor option is selected. If the processor is soldered directly to the PCB, a qualified arcade technician must install a compatible 40-pin socket before the kit can be used.
