Choose Your Rally X Lite Kit Configuration

Choose either a Standard Save Kit for local score and settings storage or a Wi-Fi Enabled Kit that also supports qualifying online leaderboard score submission.

A compatible Z80 processor and 40-pin CPU socket can also be selected if needed for your compatible original Rally-X PCB.

Games Included

Rally X

Play the original Rally X on the compatible original arcade PCB with the Lite Kit's supported Free Play, high score saving, settings, and other upgrade features.

New Rally X

Select New Rally X while continuing to use the compatible original Rally-X PCB and its existing color PROM hardware.

Top 5 High Score Saving and Score Tables

The Rally X Lite Kit stores the Top 5 supported scores with player initials using serial EEPROM storage, so a battery is not required to retain supported high-score data.

Up to 16 supported score-table combinations can be maintained based on lives and bonus settings, keeping scores from supported configurations separate rather than combining every setup into one table.

Free Play, Coin-Up, and On-Screen Settings

Free Play allows the cabinet to start games without inserting coins while traditional Coin-Up operation remains available when quarters or tokens are desired.

Supported DIP and game options can be configured through the kit's on-screen settings menu, including supported score-table, attract-sound, copyright, and gameplay selections.

Rally X Lite Installation Requirements

  • Compatible Original PCB: Verify that the cabinet contains documented compatible original Rally-X hardware
  • Z80 Processor: A compatible Z80 processor is required
  • Socket Requirement: The Z80 CPU location must use a compatible 40-pin socket
  • Soldered Z80: If the processor is soldered directly to the PCB, a compatible 40-pin socket must be installed before fitting the kit
  • Original Color Hardware: The Lite Kit continues to use the PCB's existing color PROM hardware
  • Already Socketed: No soldering or special wiring is required for the Lite daughter-card installation when the documented Z80 location is properly socketed
  • Before Power-Up: Verify processor orientation, Pin 1, socket condition, daughter-card seating, and every processor pin

Standard Save Kit vs. Wi-Fi Enabled Kit

The Standard Save Kit stores supported scores and settings locally and does not require an internet connection for normal gameplay, Free Play, Coin-Up operation, local score saving, or menu operation.

The Wi-Fi Enabled Kit includes the same local functionality and adds qualifying online score submission to the HighScoreSaves leaderboard.

Rally X Lite Kit FAQ

Which games are included?

The Rally X Lite Kit includes Rally X and New Rally X for documented compatible original Rally-X arcade hardware.

How is the Lite Kit different from the Rally-X Multigame Kit?

The Lite Kit uses a compact single Z80 daughter card and continues to use the original PCB color PROM hardware. The full Multigame version uses additional supported graphics and color hardware.

Does the Lite Kit replace the original color PROMs?

No. The compatible original PCB color PROM hardware remains in use with the Lite configuration.

Does the Z80 need to be socketed?

Yes. The documented Z80 processor location must use a compatible 40-pin socket before the daughter card can be installed.

Does installation require soldering?

No soldering is required for the Lite daughter-card installation when the documented Z80 processor location is already properly socketed. If the Z80 is soldered directly to the PCB, a compatible 40-pin socket must be installed first.

How many high scores are saved?

The kit stores the Top 5 supported scores with player initials and supports up to 16 score-table combinations based on supported lives and bonus settings.

Can I still use coins?

Yes. Free Play is available, while traditional Coin-Up operation remains supported when coins or tokens are desired.

Is Wi-Fi required?

No. The Standard Save Kit stores supported scores and settings locally. Wi-Fi is optional for qualifying online leaderboard score submission.
