Product information "Robby Roto | Wizard of Wor Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit"

Robby Roto Multigame Compatibility & Requirements

Compatible Hardware: Documented compatible original Bally/Midway Robby Roto PCB stack
Processor: Compatible Z80 processor installed on the HighScoreSaves daughter card
CPU Socket: Compatible 40-pin socket at the documented Z80 processor location
Slot 1: Game board
Slot 2: Empty; the original memory board is no longer required in the documented multigame configuration
Slot 3: Pattern board
Slot 4: CPU board installed fully forward as shown in the installation guide
Cabinet Support: Documented compatible upright and cocktail configurations

Installation: Plug-in installation when the documented Z80 processor location is already properly socketed. Install the compatible Z80 on the daughter card with Pin 1 correctly aligned, then install the assembled daughter card into the documented CPU socket. If the original CPU is soldered directly to the board, a compatible 40-pin socket must be installed first.

Robby Roto Multigame Settings Menu Access

With the cabinet powered off, press and hold Player 1 Start. Continue holding Player 1 Start while powering the cabinet on, then release the button when prompted on screen. The settings menu provides access to supported game options, DIP-style settings, attract sounds, score functions, startup behavior, Stealth Mode, Reset configuration, and other kit-specific settings.

Games Included

Included Games: Robby Roto • Wizard of Wor
Wizard of Wor Hardware Note

Because Wizard of Wor runs from the Robby Roto hardware configuration, the original starfield background, sparkle effect, and speech are not available. These are hardware-related limitations of this configuration and are not selectable kit settings.

Wi-Fi can be disabled without affecting local score saving or normal gameplay. Wi-Fi-enabled kits use compatible 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks.

Robby Roto Multigame Kit FAQ

Which original PCB does this multigame kit require?

This version requires documented compatible original Bally/Midway Robby Roto hardware. The Robby Roto PCB stack is the required base platform for this configuration.

Which games are included?

The kit includes Robby Roto and Wizard of Wor using compatible original Robby Roto hardware.

How many Robby Roto high scores are saved?

The kit permanently saves the Top 21 supported Robby Roto scores and maintains separate supported tables according to difficulty.

How many Wizard of Wor high scores are saved?

The kit permanently saves the Top 5 supported Wizard of Wor scores and maintains separate supported tables according to the selected lives setting.

Why does Wizard of Wor look and sound different on this kit?

Wizard of Wor runs within the capabilities of the Robby Roto hardware. The original starfield background, sparkle effect, and speech are therefore not available.

Does the original memory board remain in slot 2?

No. In the documented multigame arrangement, slot 2 remains empty because the original memory board is no longer required.

Does the Z80 need to be socketed?

Yes. The documented 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 normal daughter-card installation when the required Z80 location is already properly socketed. If the CPU is soldered directly to the board, a compatible socket must be installed first.

How do I open the settings menu?

With cabinet power off, hold Player 1 Start while turning the cabinet on, then release Player 1 Start when prompted on screen.

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.
