DK 3 to Donkey Kong conversion/resto *FINISHED*
javeryh:
Mine is actually bare wood - I just assumed this is how they were originally until someone painted it or something. I just left the wood but now I'm thinking I might need to get some black paint in there...

Hey guys, got a quick question for ANYONE out there.......
It was a rainy night here so I wasn't able to get any work on the cabinate done. I kept the cab in the garage tonight and decided I'd swap out the boards. Doesn't seem TOO hard, but I have a question as to how the wiring is.
First off I'm not sure what they call the set up on this style board. Both the old DK3 and the new DK are both the 2 board configuration.
I'm not 100% what they call the set up of the way it is wired, but I believe it is the "PAK" style. Ie, the main "jamma type" harness is being used.
On DK 3 the 2 boards were connected in the back by 2 harness' P1 & P2
On the front they were connected by P4 and P12
Then simply the main "jamma type" harness just plugged in!!
End of story.
My new DK board came with NO WIRING, except, P1 and P2 harness' in the back.
So I robbed the P4 and P12 harness and connected the DK board the same excact way!
Then simply plugged in the main Jamma type haness!!!
IS THAT IT!??! Am I missing any wiring? Do the boards connect in any other way? Should I have connected P4 and P12??
Can someone PLEASE check their machine! I want to make sure 100% that this is correct before I fire it up!!
A freinds game uses all the other plugs and could confirm that this was correct!
THANKS!!!
ZORK2:
Anyone know the answer to my last post about the board question??
Just got done capping the monitor! I'm hoping that'll fix the monitor issue it was having!!
The weather has cleared up nicely out, so I'm hoping to get round 2 of my painting done. I got the inside of the cabinate painted a nice flat black last night too, it looks really good.
With a little bit of luck I may actually get to fire it up tonight?!?!

To me, your wiring within the boards sounds fine. If I were you, I would check the wiring with a PDF file of the original manual which can be found here:

ZORK2:
Yeah I gotta figure my wiring is fine? I don't think it can go any other way? The manual looks like the standard set up, not the "Nintendo PAK" configuration.
I'm going to try and run down today's accomplishments........
