This kit will work on a Pacman or Ms Pacman pcb. They're the same pcb, however, you will not use the Ms Pac Daughter card and ribbon cable. You can reuse the z80 on that daughter card and transfer to our kit.
- This kit plugs into your z80 socket. This socket is under the syncbus card. You can use on a standard Pacman pcb OR a Ms Pacman pcb.
- You may have a FAST or ORIGINAL speed pcb, it will not matter since the kit replaces the Row 6 roms. Please check user guide for pictures of where they are at.
- Rom Saver - Program roms in row 6 MUST be removed with kit installed
- 5E and 5F must be present
- NEW - RAM Test : DIP 1 and 2 on your PCB has to be set to "OFF" to enable the RAM-test on startup...this can run for a while and you will see "garbage" on the screen as it is testing the RAM. After the test ends, you will see any errors and the position of the faulty RAM or OK on the screen if everything is good with your PCB. The test will restart if DIPs are left OFF. That said, DIP1 and DIP2 must to be set to "ON" to "deactivate" the endless RAM-test. [with powering off the PCB]
Very happy!
Long story short, I am very pleased with all the save kits I received. I ordered on 12/19/25 and they arrived securely packaged on 12/24/24! Just in time for Christmas!
My family is enjoying installing them and then trying to get the high scores on each game.
Highly recommend if you need a great product for your game like these kits provide. Saving scores, simple installing and the attract sounds that play when they're sitting idle! Menus are easy to adjust for the total lives per game and just added a wonderful memory for me and my family.
A+++++!!

Great stuff for Pacman
Thanks fir the fast ship
A great kit from Highscoresaves.com
I appreciate the fast shipping. Kit works perfectly!
Great
Was pleasantly surprised the package arrived so quickly! Well supported and packing slip inside. I didn't see any instructions so I emailed and asked why. I was told that they never put inside box because all of its online in either pdf or on a link. They emailed the link even though I could have searched the site. Thank you for your great customer support!
Easy install on my Pacman
Plays great
Great way to get fast version
This kit allows you to play the fast version from the menu. Saves scores with initials too! No more quarters as I have it set to free play. Attract sounds are wild! Thanks!!
Perfect for saving scores and free play
Installation was simple
Fantastic kit!
Installs in minutes to have my Pac-Man cocktail save scores WITH initials and the cool "Pac munching" sounds when we aren't playing it. Using the free play function now so we don't have to use quarters anymore. Overall a 10 out of 10 for us! Thank you Joe for all your help and hard work for all of us. Customer service skills are an 11 out of 10. ?
Good to go now

Pacman Cocktail
This was my 4th install but 1st on a cocktail table. You must go into Pacman settings in the menu and change it from upright to table. Awesome service and product. Easy to install as long as you have patience and steady hands. What a fun kit to do for beginners. No soldering needed.
Way to go!
Excellent save kit for Pacman!
100% excited about the Pacman only save kit from Highscoresaves.com!
First off, the ordering process is super simple. Can use PayPal or a credit card. Shipped out quickly and received a tracking number in an email. Arrived in 3 days.

Great Pac save kit
Great Pacman save kit
Like how you can enter initials and save your scores. Cannot do that on a regular Pacman pcb. The attract sounds are cool, another feature that will happen with the kit installed.
Good to go
This kit had all the features I wanted and more. Thanks for a great save kit!
Very cool
Great way to add the fast and original roms and save the scores from either version!
Quick and simple installation
Very happy with this kit
Easy to put in my game board, fast shipping, and it just works as intended!
Pacman upgrade, worth it for sure
this upgrade kit offers an outstanding technical value along with a fair price. I have installed several of these, and compared to other alike kits sold this is the best I have used. Plus Plus Plus!
Pac-Man Perfected
This simple, easy-to-install kit is an absolute must for Pac-Man cabinet owners! The kit can be installed in less time than it takes to get to the Apple, and provides multiple Pac-Man variants, Ms. Pac-Man (and variants), and Pengo - on top of saving highscores, providing a wealth of customization (difficulty, lives, speed, etc.) in an easy-to-use menu. Play is identical to original Pac-Man in every way - an awesome product!
This review is meant for our Pacman Multigame - https://highscoresave.com/pacman-ms-pacman-multigame-free-play-and-high-score-save-kit/
Wow
Was thinking I wanted the Multi Pac Highscoresaves offers, however, I decided with this kit. Has all the same features, attract sounds, free play and the cool stealth menu, just only has pacman, that's what the family wanted. Very happy, thank you!
10/10 Pac Upgrade
Everything from the mass amount of user settings, to the little details of the cutscenes where Pac-Man goes at normal speed while the game is in sped-up mode, this kit is perfect for any Pac machine. Playing a game set on hard difficulty in sped-up mode makes for a very fun challenge and is what I will prefer going forward. Again, 10/10 kit.
Simple install
Great way to have fast and original speed and save your scores with initials
Great kit - super easy to install. Up and working in less than 15 minutes and now all my scores stay put. Great menu. Great product.
Awesome.
Easy way to get fast version and save my scores
This is a must have kit if you own a Pacman game! Easy to use menu, installation requires no soldering so it is pretty easy. The game select menu is great, and able to save all the scores in each game. Fast Pac is totally different than slow. Other kits d
How do I mount the daughter card off the ribbon cable?
There are a couple ways -
1. You can use the holes on that daughter card to secure with wood screws to the side of the cabinet. This is how Ms Pac was originally done back in the day (they actually had a metal plate w/plastic standoffs)
2. You can use Velcro
3. You can zip tie to the top of the SyncBus card. Just ensure the SBC is zip tied securely to the main pcb
I 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 -

The ribbon cable is no more. In the newest revision of this classuc save kit [1.09E], the ribbon cable has been replaced with low-profile gold pin headers. Please check out the installation guide. You're good to go and ready to play some Pac!
Received my kit and now the screen looks like this after installation. How can I fix?
That screen is a static screen. This tells you that there could be a few issues -
- The z80 is not firing. This could be that the main daughter card of the save kit is not seated properly or not all header pins are in the z80 socket, the z80 is installed incorrectly on the kit, or there are bent legs on the z80 or the daughter card itself.
- The syncbus card is not seated properly or there are bent pins on the riser.
Does this kit enable attract mode when set to free play? Trying to minimize screen burn.
All Pac kits still have the oroginal attract mode when using freeplay!
