Title: DK board with save kit and DK Jr add-on chip, how do I access the menu?
Post by: ken on April 04, 2017, 08:25:25 pm
Hi,

I just got a Donkey Kong machine and it has a save kit and DK Jr add-on chip in it. Could anyone tell me how to access the chip menu? I read to press a button during boot but I've tried every button and combo I could think of with no luck.

My main issue is I think the chip is modifying the regular DK so it has max lives even though the pins are all set to off (except for H for upright). I'd like to get this back to the default 3 lives.

Here are a few photos of the board and boot screen: http://imgur.com/a/i5IXP

Does anyone know what my options might be? If it's defective can I simply pull out the chip labeled DK Jr?

Thanks very much.

Toggle between games by simply pressing both the player-1 and player-2 start buttons at the same time. Instantly the game will reset and switch to the other game.
