Title: Added DKJR to my DK
Post by: Tate10 on February 15, 2014, 08:17:20 pm
Picked up a working DKJR board for cheap and got it into my DK machine tonight.  I need lots of practice on DKJR!  Can't wait for cambridge to start shipping the switcher like John has.

Nice work! Clean setup too. Mark should be shipping those switchers soon. Did you contact him recently? I know he has a couple that are tested and working.

John,  I contacted Mark about a week ago and he said they should be ready for shipping soon.  I'm trying to remember from your video, did you have a custom marque made for yours?  That switcher is going to be a life saver.  Even though they are not hard to switch like you said in the video it will become a real pain in the ass to pull the machine out all the time.

I didn't install a custom marquee. I have the JR marquee with Dk3 board added to the cab. There are double donkey kong marquees out there.

Arcadeshop has it
