« on: May 14, 2008, 02:18:50 pm »
Is it easy / possible to rotate Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr in and out of a dedicated DK Jr cab?

Open door, remove original board, put in other board, close door.

Something like that  :D

I thought / hoped it was that easy, but I was not 100% sure.

It is if both boards have edge connectors.

I'm lazy and would probably do a DDK or build something to switch boardsets.

Am I correct that you can even switch Mario Bros. with DK boards ? And how about Popeye ?

I love them all, I want them all :)

DK, DKjr, DK-II,MB., Popeye all in one cab......with original hardware mind you ! Ahhhhhhh.....what a dream :)

Mario and Popeye have different monitor orientation... so maybe 2 cabs   ;)

I have an partially empty Popeye can that was converted to something right now.  I am either going to make it into a DK, or MAME it.  There is a nice DK Jr for sale and if I buy that, it will be my DK machine and I can MAME the old Popeye machine.
