Mario Bros in Red !
FrizzleFried:
It runs a 25" monitor...I bet they run it horizontally and then you get the vertical games on the horizontal monitor smaller with black on each side.

OK, but the original DK cab uses a 19" monitor right ? So then the vertical games would be very small....
RayB:
No. A vertical game that was originally 19" would look about the same on a 25" with black bars on either side. Mario Bros however, would look huge compared to the original.

Yeah, I think I didn't clearly wrote what I meant: I assume that the original monitor is still in this cab. This is 19" right ? (The vertical monitor was turned for Mario Bros, there were parts in the Mario Bros Pak to do this). So suppose if I would run the new three-in-one original Namco PCB of 2005 on it, then Mario Bros would look normal but the DK games would be way too small because of the side bars....unless they did some stretching or anything, but I'd hate that.
And those boards are hard to get and pretty expensive I guess.

Hey, when I re-read the information here: http://www.classicarcadeonline.com/donkeykong_8.html
it is mentions this:
_____
The Double Donkey Kong and high score save upgrade will be installed in here shortly.
Also, it is capable of playing several other Nintendo games. It can play Donkey Kong Jr and Donkey Kong 3. It can also play Popeye and Mario Bros if you rotate the monitor. It also plays VS. games like Super Mario Bros and Excitebike.
______
Now, this is very interesting. I would love to be able to play Popeye on this as well, and if possible I can turn the monitor and play the DK games....
So my question is: How does he mean that it also plays these games ? I haven't seen any combo board like that ?
