Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit permanently save scores?

Yes. Scores are saved to a serial EPROM, so they persist after power-off.

Will Freeplay disable coin operation?

No. You can run in Freeplay or keep Coin Up enabled for token/coin use.

Do I need to solder anything?

No soldering is required if your Z80 is socketed. If not, add a 40-pin socket first.

Can I change DIP settings without opening the cabinet?

Yes. The on-screen menu lets you adjust DIP options like lives, coinage, and Freeplay.

Is there a way to restore scores after a party?

Yes. Use the Backup & Restore feature to save your table beforehand and reload it later.
