Help I cannot decide which game to get next.

I have the choice of buying a pcb of Vs. Super Mario Bros (for my Nintendo VS. Unisystem) or a pcb of (for my DK3 cab).

Can't decide which to get first.

Also does anyone have any suggestions where I should buy these pcb's?

Thanks,

Personally, I play more. But, it is my favorite game! Vs. Super Mario Bros. is indeed great and it's harder than the NES version but I still love me some DK!

I would look at KLOV.com in the forums for a PCB. You can make a wanted to buy post or see if anyone is selling any PCBs.

I took your advice, and posted on KLOV. So far I've gotten a couple leads. Thanks again for the awesome advice.

No prob! Looks like a nice DK cabinet you picked up. I'm sure it was originally a DK.

How do I tell John? I checked the Nintendo plate on the back and the serial shows it as a DK 3?

That's a standard DK3 setup. You can plug and play with a DK board (2-board set, not 4-board!) but you will need a rainbow cable to get power to the second board.

On the back of the cage is a filter board. If you pull that out you'll see the edge connector that's plugged into the DK3 board. Unplug the DK3 board the plug in your 2-board DK board with the rainbow cable.

The rainbow cable is here:

This cable plugs from one board to the other. In a standard DK setup you are plugging a power cable to each board in stack (two power cables). With the edge connector it's only supplying power to one board so you need install the rainbow cable to jump power to the second board. It's very easy to do.

Here's how the rainbow cable looks installed:

Thank you so much for the informative post. this site is awesome

Hey fellas,

I have a Nintendo vs. Unisystem. It works great; after i would say for about an hour or close to an hour of play. The monitor will flicker, machine does not reset the picture is still good, sound is still good. But it will flicker every couple of seconds.

What would cause this problem?

Could be any number of things... Just taking a guess... When it flickers are you hearing any kind of clicking sound? Wondering if you have a bad flyback on the monitor.

No clicking sound that i can hear. The game still plays and the in game music still plays as it is doing this as well

So i purchased the machine. However inside it looks like a popeye setup


Do you think this would pose a problem John, if i were to purchase a DK board?

Do you happen to be in Ontario by any chance?

Hello,
I am slowly starting my own game room arcade. I have a Vs. Castlevania, Ms.Pac-Man and Space Invaders Deluxe.

Currently only the Nintendo cab works. Love my machines and hope to get them working again.

Love John's videos they been a great inspiration!!

Thank you,

Vs. Castlevania
Vs. Super Mario Bros.

Dang, those are not in stock. Wonder if there is anywheres else I could buy them

Great games. My Nintendo Vs. Unisystem was my first arcade machine. It was a Vs. The Goonies. I swapped otu the pcb and marquee to Vs. Castlevania. I absolutely love that game. I am looking into getting the Super Mario Bros one now.

Just something about these Nintendo cabs. love them!

Hey all, first time poster long time follower. Love this site!!

I am looking into buying a 3 Cab, it's blue. I would really like to make it a machine.

What difficulties will this pose? Will i just need to buy a pcb and it's as simple as plugging it in?

3 uses an edge connector. SO, yeah, it's real simple... just unplug the DK3 board and plug in the DK board.

Thank you John, I was under the impression i would need an adapter for it to work. But this is great news thank you!
