https://highscoresave.com/

Steps for a successful install of your online or offline high score save kit -

·      Ensure your gameboard is working 100% before installing kit

·      Ensure power to game is off before removing your gameboard from cabinet

·      Label any connectors that you will be disconnecting. This will make reinstalling easier once kit is on gameboard

·      Note which way your connectors/cables are on. (We suggest taking pictures to help you remember!)

·      Work in a well-lit area on your workbench

The Vertical Multi Taito kit contains -

·       1 – z80 Main Daughter card

·       1 – z80 Sound Daughter card

Please note – you will need a z80 to install on this kit. There is an option to purchase in the drop downs of the product page when you order. Or you can use an existing one.

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.

Now, having said that, you need to enable this feature in the menu settings, or disable if you want your kit to give you approximately 5 seconds every time you turn on your game.
