This Gyruss Multigame High Score Save and Free Play Kit allows you to play Gyruss, Time Pilot and Pooyan all on your original Gyruss pcb WITHOUT a switcher! Please read the installation guide as some Gyruss pcb's will need sockets installed for the kit to work. This only is designed to play on an original Gyruss pcb, nothing else. It is honestly something that has never been done before, because of the work involved. You get to enjoy the benefits and play some cool games!
Most Gyruss pcb's will require soldering in sockets ... at least (3) 16pin for the GYA/GYB/GYC PROMs, as well as 1-2 additional 16 pin sockets for the LS377s (depending on whether or not the 378C riser boards are used on your original pcb). Then, a 40 pin for the CPU if it is not already socketed. Check out your pcb before ordering!

Great kit, was told to get this from a friend
Worth every penny! Get it. You'll love it. Time Pilot plays perfect in my Gyruss arcade
Amazing
Fast shipping. We'll packaged. Simple install. Great settings for free play and saving scores.
This is a great kit for Gyruss!!!!!
Time Pilot is awesome on this kit! Pooyan is something I've never seen before but it's fun!
Arrived fast
Arrived in good condition. Install was simple with the install guide and liked that a 378 was included to test the socket before I went further. Highly recommend this kit
Playing it now!
Arrived in 2 days. Installed and works great! Loving Pooyan!
Kick ass!
Took about an hour to install (taking my sweet time)
Plays awesome and easy to switch games from the menu
Easy to use
Arrived quick and was a simple installation
Highly recommended
Took about 20 minutes ti install and it was worth it. Awesome kit that works great in my Gyruss arcade
Appreciate the good customer service and fast delivery!
Great Kit. Not for beginners.
This kit is an outstanding way to add two games to your gyros cabinet specially with the Great joystick. Definitely not for beginners. Especially if you're board was like mine and nothing was socketed. Definitely a lot of soldering if you have to add sockets. And not wanting to damage the original chips in the process. However after taking my time. The game works great. Thanks for another great kit.
This kit is amazing!
Love playing time pilot and pooyan on my original gyruss pcb board!
Such a great kit
Such a great kit to be able to have. Gyruss and Time Pilot are great games using the same JS. Added bonus of Pooyan! Thanks for a great upgrade to an already great game!
Yes!
Received as a gift and took my time and installed it in about an hour.
Arrived for Christmas in time
Thanks Highscoresaves.com!
Excellent kit! Always wanted a Time Pilot machine but have to save space! And as a bonus you get Pooyan! Love the kit! A+
Thanks!
Exemplary service! Fantastic kit!
This was the hardest kit I've personally done, but the instructions were top notch and I took my time. I cannot overstate how happy I am with this kit. I had a Konami 2-in-1 kit that used a separate Time Pilot board, but was never happy with how it worked in my cab. This kit, however plays perfectly (and adds Pooyan). Joe's an awesome guy and called me when I was having minor issues (ended up being power supply and/or harness issues - not the kit). Do NOT hesitate to order this if you are even remotely interested, you won't be disappointed.
Yes!!
Love playing Gyruss, Time Pilot and Pooyan and now the family can save high scores!!
Another great kit!
This one is more difficult to install than most of them so be sure to review the instructions before ordering. It requires the removal of many hard soldered-in chips so you'll need to have the right tools for the job. It took me several hours to complete but I successfully installed it. The audio on Time Pilot and Pooyan is improved since it's now sort of "stereo" where different sounds come out of the left or right channel, just like Gyruss. Crank it up and enjoy!
We really love this kit
Followed the directions and was playing Time Pilot on my Gyruss arcade
This is a no Brainerd if you have a Gyruss
Able to play Gyruss, Time Pilot and Pooyan! Had to install a couple sockets on my pcb, but it was worth it!
Perfect addition to my Gyruss arcade cabinet
Took my time on the installation. Now saving scores and playing Time Pilot and Pooyan without any additional hardware! Highscoresaves just rocks!
Great Multi Gyruss kit
This is a tech marvel! Can now play Time Pilot and Pooyan (with the proper Monroe joystick) in my original Gyruss arcade game! Thanks a million Highscoresaves!
Best thing that happened to Gyruss
Great kit for Gyruss
This kit is perfection
A good idea
This kit was an excellent idea. Time Pilot and Gyruss play great in this cabinet. Can buy the kit for much cheaper than another game pcb that would have to be swapped in and out of the game. This kit makes it easy with the game menu. Pooyan is fun, never heard of it before.
A must have kit for Gyruss
Plays Gyruss and Pooyan And Time Pilot! Installed in about an hour taking my time. The extra 378s that come with the kit are perfect to test my sockets I installed.
Not the hardest kit to install, but definitely worth it to take your time.
Love the easy to use game and easy to use settings menu!
Yes!!
Back in stock after a few months, ordered and it was shipped the next morning. Pretty easy install. Now playing Time Pilot and Pooyan in my Gyruss can. Thanks guys!!
As stayed in other reviews
Not a hard install if you read the instructions first. Took me approximately 30 minutes to do
Intense install, intense kit!
Read the instructions. I soldered in the sockets needed. Manual was pretty good with pictures and written instructions.
The kit works perfectly. Playing all the games, Pooyan is a good addition, but I like Gyruss the most. Time pilot plays great with the dedicated Monroe joystick
BEST MULTIGAME KIT OUT THERE FOR GYRUSS
Wait, it's the only one and it is phenomenal! Thanks Highscoresaves!
Great idea!
This kit is amazing! Best idea ever!
Best Highscoresaves multi kit yet
In on the first run!
Completely awesome kit that plays perfect!
Plain and simply wow!
This has to be one of the most unique kits ever! To be able to play Gyruss, Time Pilot and Pooyan on the same same pcb, without a switcher and other boards...a tech marvel has hit finally in 2021!
Shipped rather quickly, straight forward install (thanks for including the extra 378's to test the sockets I needed to install).
Love the menu system! Rock it out!
Highscoresaves is the best of the best and will continue to support them with all of their great kits in my machines!!!
This kit is just one word... amazing!
Thanks for making these great kits! While the install is not plug and play (needs some sockets installed) it is pretty simple if you can desolder a few chips and install sockets.
Whole process took me about 20 minutes and I was playing Time Pilot on my Gyruss pcb.
Thanks Highscoresaves!!!
Does this Gyruss multi only work on a Gyruss pcb?
Correct. Kit installs on your Gyruss pcb (see install guide) and allows you to play Gyruss, Time Pilot and Pooyan!
How does your new Gyruss multigame kit handle stereo sound? If it's hooked up to two speakers, do Time Pilot and Pooyan just emit sound from one speaker? What if you install this board in a single speaker cab like original Time Pilot? Do you have to jumper the Gyruss board to mono?
Yes and Yes.
More details -
Time pilot has a soundboard with a single channel output.
MONO channel:
2x ay-8910 soundchips, 3 outputs each, all outputs with two switchable filters each combined on one channel
Gyruss:
Left channel:
1x ay-8910 soundchip, 3 outputs with two switchable filters each
1x ay-8910 soundchip, 3 outputs with NO filters
1x 8-bit DAC (resitor-array), driven by the 8035 CPU
Right channel:
1x ay-8910 soundchip, 3 outputs with two switchable filters each
2x ay-8910 soundchip, 3 outputs with NO filters
To have the original time pilot sound, you must use both soundchips with filters. One is on the left channel, one is on the right channel.
To connect a gyruss pcb to a mono speaker, you have to shortcut the two pinheaders at pos F7 to combine the two output channels.
(in the pic below: shortcut with a red wire)
OK I give up. How do you enter the settings menu. Not the game select menu. Why is it not sent with the kit or listed here somewhere?
Hi!
Link is sent when you place your order. All of my multigame kits are shipped in "stealth mode". Please click this link for more info and some cool tips! (plus, it's on the bottom of every page on the site)
How do I get to the menu settings?
With the power off on your game. Press and hold P1 while you turn the game on. Release P1 button when the screen tells you to. You are now in the main menu settings. This is a feature built into your kits so the menu settings are not accessible to your guests or family.
Learn moreI see there are multiple high score save kits for the same game. What's the difference? Which one should I choose?
Great Question!
While all of the high score save kits save scores, have an on screen menu for difficulty settings and other features like attract sounds (Please see the description under each kit for full details)
There are usually 2 or 3 main types -
