Compatibility and What to Check Before Ordering
- PCB: Designed for original Targ arcade hardware.
- Processor: Uses the original 6502 processor or an optional replacement processor.
- Processor Socket: The 6502 location must have the proper 40-pin socket for the kit to plug in.
- Cabinets: Supports upright and cocktail configurations.
- Original Program ROMs: May optionally be removed and stored when using the kit's ROM Saver functionality.
Check your PCB before ordering. If the original 6502 processor is soldered directly to the board, a proper socket must be installed before the kit can be fitted.

- Unsocketed PCB: If the 6502 is soldered directly to the board, a socket must be installed before fitting the kit.
