Xevious one of the first scrolling
shooters, it shows it's age but there's enough of a fan base to keep this game
popular.
The high-score-saver kit plugs into the main CPU socket, there
are no modifications needed to the xevious CPU board. Only the ROM at location
1M may need to be removed as there isn't a lot of clearance underneath the
high-score board when plugged in. If a 40pin DIP socket is used on the bottom of
the plug-in and then plugged into the CPU socket, there should be enough
clearance to just leave ROM 1M in place.
The install shown is for the
Atari style boardset, there is also a Namco version, which I'll add install
details for as well.
The kit saves the top 5 high scores and also allows
for a Freeplay mode. Additionally the kit will keep the attract mode
running even when the game has credits.
The high-score table can be reset
by following the on screen instructions when the game powered on in Test
Mode.
Kit price $45. To order, give us a call at 1-800-514-9506.

For the new freeplay mode the dip switches located a 10D on the main board
need to be set as shown in the picture below !

"Credits"
