Galaga Kit
This kit was the first thing I bought when I picked up my Galaga. Not just high score saves, but also menu driven free play, lives, firing modes/speeds and attack mode/sounds. If you own a Galaga this is
a must have!

No external wiring or switches required. Press Player 1 + Player 2 Start simultaneously to open the on-screen game menu. Includes full on-screen configuration and high score save for all titles. Note: You may need to install a socket for your 8080 CPU. Please check your PCB. Installation Summary Power down the cabinet and access the SI/SID two-board L-shaped PCB set. Inspect the 8080 CPU. If it is not socketed, install a suitable socket. Carefully remove the 8080 CPU from the board. Insert the 8080 into the included daughter card. Plug the daughter card into the vacated 8080 CPU socket. Power on, verify operation, then press P1+P2 Start to select a game. Key Features Installs in minutes: no soldering, special wiring, or external switches. Free Play: built-in option (see Galaxy Wars note below). High Score Save: preserves scores for all games.

Space Invaders Install Guide (PDF) What board types are supported? Supports the Midway black-and-white style SI/SID boardset (two-board L-shaped configuration). Not compatible with the Taito color variant. Will it work in a cocktail cabinet? Yes, if it is a Midway black-and-white cocktail unit.

No. Galaxy Wars does not support Free Play; all others do. Do I need to solder anything? Typically no — unless your 8080 CPU is soldered to the PCB. If so, a socket must be installed first.
