All About DK ROM sets and PCBs

If US Set 1 is used then there is just an issue with hardware. Were the 4 board sets ran with the same processor as the 2 board set? Why the 2 extra boards?

Yes, same processor. My guess is that the 4-board sets were made to fit in cocktail machines as that is where you usually see them. They have a much smaller footprint.
A 2-board set will not fit into the small space of a nintendo cocktail.
TheSunshineFund:
They were Radarscope conversion PCBs prior to further modification and Radarscope was a 4 board set.
Is this for the HS board on DKF? If the reissue PCB and 60-1s are allowed then I would think the only issue is utilization of the top of the ladder cheat and basically any ROMS are par for the course.

This makes no sense to me. ANY ROMS are par for the course? What are you talking about? I don't have much of an opinion about differences in hardware, but I DO know that we should all be playing on the same software. Not any rom, but only ONE rom should be allowed and that is US Set 1.
I also cringe whenever I see people mention the ladder cheat. People really need to be aware that it IS possible to hang onto the top of a ladder in US Set 1 and survive an oncoming barrel if it rolls on by over your head. The difference is the probability of this happening -- instead of 100% it's more like 25%. But, this means that you CANNOT invalidate any attempt simply because you see someone survive this situation.

I was making a joke.

Obviously.

I know, there's games when I stupidly get caught and have to let a barrel roll over me on the ladder and I immediatley think that someone is going to think a have an old ROM Set.
