Hi John, I would like to thank you on this video and other dk videos. You were the inspiration for me to get all of the DKs in one cabinet. Was lucky enough to get it all done within 3 months. Including free play mods, d2k, dk and dk jr remix’s. Now it is time to play and enjoy. Hope all is well.
It works with Popeye and Mario Bros. Since those are both horizontal you could have a cabinet with those two only. Or, pick two DK PCBs for a Vertical setup.
I feel as though this video was made for ME LOL. I know it was not, but you covered some topics that I had questions about in the PM I sent you the other day John. Ahhh I'm on the lookout for a original DJ JR also... in my top three favorite games of all time!!
It's interesting how the older boards have an edge connector but also support those separate wire hookups all over the place, and Nintendo used the separate wires. I wonder if that's a legacy from when they converted Radar Scope cabs into DK. Does Radar Scope not have an edge connector?
I love that idea on the switcher, Im in the same boat as you for space in my house. I have a DK3 I just put together and Im thinking of ways to get another game out of the house to get one in. Its hard to choose. Do you have a link to the site where you purchased those 2 adaptors? Also do you know if there working on a 3 or more adaptor, would be nice to make a tripple kong in one cab. BTW I enjoy your videos. Any help is appreciated Thanks Chad
I was eating breakfast and saw this vid post. Now I'm late for work. Haha. I'd like to get something worked out in my xmen Konami cab. So I can have xmen, sunset riders, Simpsons, turtles all switchable.
I have original Donkey Kong also, where can I find a 2 player control panel to put on it, I'm saving all original parts, just want 2 joysticks & buttons for 2 players
John, I have a DK JR, but need to swap out to a switching power supply. Will a edge connector adapter be able to direct voltages and will a DK Country PCB accept the same voltages, thanks Jeff
Wow, John thanks SO MUCH for sharing this info! I was going to do the double dk mod to my Jr pca, but this seems like a much better option! Would you happen to know if the dk2 mod would work with this adapter (essentially, a dk2 mod installed on a dk board, in a dk Jr cab with this adapter...phew!)??
Great videos ! Question ....if i have a dkj board upgraded to double dk, can i still use the edge connect adapter and rainbow cable to hook up to dk3 so i can play all 3 in one cab? Please let me know and thanks in advance for your advice...
Also, if you can reply to this. Is it possible to put super breakout and missle command in the same one using a similar setup to bring back missile command?
So I’ve tried contacting the Cambridge Nintendo switcher guy, (I need one) but I get no response to emails, I don’t want to just send money. Does it still exist? Thanks
Do you have a specific link to the items needed. Both the edge connector adopter and the material to hook up two pcb's in the same cab. I am afraid that I don't know what I am looking at.
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech I found an email address on the site and emailed Mark. I referenced this video and John from John's Arcade. As long as it is not marked as spam he should get it. And if that gmail account is still active.
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech I emailed Mark two weeks ago and have not received a response. I will resend the email to him this evening. In case my email is not getting through to him could you mention my interest to Mark. I can be contacted through RUclips. Thanks.
Thanks. I had sent the previous one with a link to this video for reference, it could have been marked as spam so I wrote it up differently. Hopefully I can catch him at the right time.

Where did you get your switcher? I can't find cambridge arcade any longer. Mike's is out of switchers. Arcade shop is out as well.
Great video mate. Didn't think you could install a switcher in these pre-jamma cabinets

great job on your videos always make my day when these come out .....does this switcher also work with popeye?
I just got back from vacation. Next Pac video should be in about a week.
Make a ton of those setups so you can put in new games without taking up space
D'oh! There are JAMMA switchers out there so that multi-Konami should be totally doable! Sorry for making you late for work. :D
Yes, I did make the theme song. I have it for download on my band's Sound Cloud page. Go to Sound Cloud and search for The Kill Screens.
I love that idea on the switcher, Im in the same boat as you for space in my house. I have a DK3 I just put together and Im thinking of ways to get another game out of the house to get one in. Its hard to choose. Do you have a link to the site where you purchased those 2 adaptors? Also do you know if there working on a 3 or more adaptor, would be nice to make a tripple kong in one cab.

Yeah, when you sent the PM I knew this video would answer your questions. :)
Your Welcome John!
I was eating breakfast and saw this vid post. Now I'm late for work. Haha. I'd like to get something worked out in my xmen Konami cab. So I can have xmen, sunset riders, Simpsons, turtles all switchable.
I added a "2". Make more sense now? :) I was out of characters in the title.
What four PCBs would you put in? The Cambridge Arcade device will soon have the ability to daisy chain them so you can have unlimited numbers of PCBs.
Hey John!
I think it's high time for another pin video review! Haven't Dan got him self a new pin since you where there last time?
Yes, it works in Popeye with Mario Bros.
Another interesting video John great job
No, it's really not possible to do that. Missile Command is a horizontal game and Breakout is a vertical game. Breakout is a black and white game too.
Oh, I'm sure I'll do a Dig-Dug review soon. :)
they have 6 switch ones that that have remote. YourMKArcadeSource has videos on them and having to mod to use on MK
Sweet, looking forward too it!
I think you're right! I need to do another pin video ASAP!
John was on vacation! :)
wonder if he ever fixed the connection on the DK3 board at 12:00-12:03
I have original Donkey Kong also, where can I find a 2 player control panel to put on it, I'm saving all original parts, just want 2 joysticks & buttons for 2 players
I Love Your Theme! Did You Make It Yourself? Where Can I Find It!
Maybe if I hang from the ceiling on my side I could play it?
Not only that I want you to do a review of another Atari arcade that I love and that is a racing game it's rush 2049
John, I have a DK JR, but need to swap out to a switching power supply. Will a edge connector adapter be able to direct voltages and will a DK Country PCB accept the same voltages, thanks Jeff

Do you think that could work with a DK(D2K) and Radar Scope?Nevermind,its work too with Helifire and Space Firebird :)
Hi John! Just Wanted To Let You Know I Clicked The Subscribe Button For One Reason! HEY GUYS WE ARE IN THE BASEMENT! Awesome Stuff Man! :D
How on earth do you get your games down in the basement from the garage??
dumping the missile command! say it ain't so.
Great videos ! Question ....if i have a dkj board upgraded to double dk, can i still use the edge connect adapter and rainbow cable to hook up to dk3 so i can play all 3 in one cab? Please let me know and thanks in advance for your advice...
CRAP!! your right ,just like Mario Bros. God, I feel stupid!! THX jon
I guess DK, DK2, DK3, and DKjr??
Also, if you can reply to this. Is it possible to put super breakout and missle command in the same one using a similar setup to bring back missile command?
So I’ve tried contacting the Cambridge Nintendo switcher guy, (I need one) but I get no response to emails, I don’t want to just send money. Does it still exist? Thanks
Two people on each side of the cabinet , or a dolly mover? Because I can imagine those games weighing over 200 to 300 lbs. Lol
Can you pick up Atari's roadblasters I love roadblasters
isn't there a 4/1 switcher for DK?
I am also interested in the DK2 option. I have DK with Dk2 addon. Would this work if I picked up a DK Jr. board???
yes, it will work.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent :)
John is there any new's on the switcher
Will Popeye pcb ,3 board set, work in a DK?
Popeye is a horizontal monitor.
Do you have a specific link to the items needed. Both the edge connector adopter and the material to hook up two pcb's in the same cab. I am afraid that I don't know what I am looking at.
e-mail mark here: cambridgearcade.dyndns.org/?q=catalog/3 - he can hook you up.
