O forgot the best part... right after replacing the MS on the jump button I played a game and.....
...I instantly improve my record with over 20.000 points !!!!!!!

Ha, I had bought a DK (4-tier) and a DKjr (2-tier) boardset from the bay from a German guy.
Let's say that I payed a lot less than you'd normaly pay for a working DK board-set. Both were sold untested however. I tested the jr. earlier and it seems completely dead. I already found that one of the sockets of the PROMS has one pin open wide and I bet it's not making contact....
However, I gave the DK set a test-drive this morning and it comes up, and runs attract mode fine :) Didn't have more time to try to credit it etc.
The vertizal size is too big, and I couldn't adjust it, but I found out pretty quick why: the potmeter is broken-off (maybe due to transport). There's also one cooling body missing from a white chip (the one next to it still has it. That chip got pretty warm, but nothing too bad. Both very simple fixes.
Nice score, this means one step closer to my ultimate Nintendo cab. The DK was the most important one for me since I already have the working bootleg Jr. The DK will be fitted with a D2K kit in the near future :)
(O and I'm at 138 k now. First time that I reached the Icicle's on my own :) Twin Galaxies, here I come ! :D

Now if Mark Spaeth ever gets his Nintendo switchers done you'll be in good shape.

Exactly !.......gotta be patient and I need to do more than enough stuff in the mean time, but I do hope they will become available pretty soon....

Received the bootleg Popeye PCB today. As promised it works fine, but as excepted with a bootleg,non-inverted video.....
Also, there's something strange with the sound. None of all the other boards I tried (DKjr, DK, Popeye) produce any sound.....kinda weird. Maybe my amp set-up. The bootleg boards also have on-board amplification so maybe they're overdriving the inputs of the amp and so it shuts off.....will need to investigate that..
