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

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.

Overview –

Start with locating your z80 socket.

This is what your pcb should look like. This kit will only work on a Space Panic PCB.

1.    Locate your z80. Remove.

2.    Insert riser socket (Needs to clear caps on the left for kit to sit properly) [Ensure PIN 1 of the z80 is installed with the proper orientation]-

3.    Insert daughter board into the cpu socket of the board where the CPU chip  was removed from. Place z80 on kit.

4.    Ensure that nothing is hitting the underside of the new daughter card from your original PCB. Sometimes test points on your PCB need to be bent away.

5.    Make sure Pin1 of the daughter board is oriented to correctly match Pin1 on the board. Your kit may not have the online feature, the pic does. After insertion, check the seating of the daughterboard again.

That's it!

Double check your work

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.
