Space Invaders Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit Arcade Upgrade

Product information "Space Invaders Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit Arcade Upgrade"

The HighScoreSaves Space Invaders Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit expands documented compatible original Midway or Taito Space Invaders arcade hardware with 10 classic games, Free Play, permanent score and initials saving, game-selection and settings menus, cocktail support, and optional Wi-Fi leaderboard submission while retaining the original arcade platform.

Space Invaders Multigame Compatibility & Requirements

Compatible Hardware: Documented compatible original Midway and Taito Space Invaders arcade PCB configurations
PCB Version: Select the Midway or Taito kit version according to the actual PCB installed in the cabinet
Cabinet Support: Documented compatible upright and cocktail configurations
Taito Requirement: Cabinets using the Taito CV070020 Sound, I/O and Shifter Board require a working MB14241 shifter IC

Installation: Access to the original arcade PCB is required. Compare your actual board configuration with the installation guide and select the correct Midway or Taito version before ordering. Do not choose the version based only on cabinet artwork or exterior branding.

Important Taito CV070020 Shifter Board Requirement

If your Taito configuration uses the CV070020 Sound, I/O and Shifter Board, that board must contain a working MB14241 shifter IC. The Space Invaders Multigame kit will not replace or correct a missing MB14241.

Standard vs. Wi-Fi Kit

Standard Kit

Saves supported scores, player initials, and game settings locally on the installed arcade hardware. An internet connection is not required for normal gameplay or local score saving.

Wi-Fi Enabled Kit

Includes the same local score and settings storage and adds qualifying online score submission to the HighScoreSaves leaderboard.

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.
