So what titles can you run with this setup? It says it plays 4 so what DK/DKJR/DK3 and D2K or Pauline??? Anyone think there is an issue with this setup if I was trying for a WR attempt? This sounds pretty damn awesome and I am strongly looking into this now. What titles do you run this way Ken?

Nice so all i need to get is this and then just the boards and I should be good to go. Anyone have an issue with this from an arcade WR standpoint in your mind? I don't see why since is the original boards but just curious if its been brought up somewhere before.

It is my understanding that as long as you are using original hardware with pcb with roms and z80 processor that the game would emulate the same with no hindrance. I am not sure why a double donkey kong was not allowed but that may be a different matter. I am sure someone else would want to chime in. Verification would probably have to be more extensive to prove where all the wires are going in and out. It is just a relay of some sort to determine what board gets the power. I think.

What about a DK board with the D2K kit installed? I don't see why not, but I don't know much about this kind of stuff. I'm tempted to get one of these switchers so that I can play DK Jr again. Right now the board is just collecting dust because I don't like switching things out.

I was talking about Donkey Kong II not the D2K board. Will that work in this setup?

Mark indicates on his website that he no longer builds anything for people he does not know. I have been pondering the Vector Lab setup but $230 for all the material just does not seem worth it. I might as well put both boards in the cab and just move the edge connector setup back and forth. Not ideal but for one edge connector adopter and one rainbow cable, it is substantially lower in cost. I mean, $35 for the edge connector adopter, and about $10 for the rainbow cable, is much more affordable.

Got the setup from Vecter Labs. Sorry if it is boring. I did not originally create it to show on youtube but as a backup if something did not work right.

This is an old post but I was thinking about getting this vector lab set up. Are we allowed to submit scores with this set up? Thanks
