Title: Install Popeye in a Original DK Post by: drkmatter on May 04, 2014, 06:00:36 pm I'm Looking for help on how to install a popeye Pcb with my original Dk Cabinet - I have working Dk board set right now its not using the edge connector
any help would be appreciated Title: Re: Post by: Tighe on May 04, 2014, 06:07:40 pm You realize that the game will play sideways?
Other than that you just plug it in using all the connectors just like DK is plugged in. Title: Re: Install Popeye in a Original DK Post by: drkmatter on May 04, 2014, 06:24:42 pm The DK board has 8 separate headers while the Popeye board has none just an edge connector
Title: Re: Post by: Tighe on May 04, 2014, 06:49:27 pm All, OK I have the multi connectors DK. You need an adapter
You said you aren't using the edge connector... So I am confused as to what you have and want to do. Photos would help. Title: Re: Install Popeye in a Original DK Post by: drkmatter on May 04, 2014, 07:12:04 pm Dk board looks like this (http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/128/1281327819.jpg)
popeye looks like this one (http://www.crazykong.com/pcbs/P%20-%20S/Popeye.pcb.jpg) all of the headers are missing Goal would be to play popeye in my Dk Cabinet thanks Title: Re: Install Popeye in a Original DK Post by: UnwoundS3GA on May 04, 2014, 07:50:49 pm You will need to buy a Nintendo 2-Board Harness Adapter -- http://cambridgearcade.dyndns.org/?q=node/68
You will then plug your connectors on to this board and connect the edge connector to the Popeye pcb. And you are done!

Popeye might be a better pairing with a Vs board or with Mario Bros (control panels would be different of course). Vertical Nintendo games would include DK, DKjr, DK3. Vector Labs has a switching system for Nintendo cabs where you could run Popeye in a Vs setup or all 3 Donkey Kongs in one cab, for instance. It's a somewhat pricey & complex, but really nice system

That said, my Popeye board has the header connectors on it so that is why I was confused. As for Mark's adapter, he is very slow to respond to orders, and I tried for months to get that from him. I ended up buying the adapter from arcade shop: Arcade Shop's Nintendo Pass Through Adapter: http://youtu.be/n8_Zw9ood9o Title: Re: Install Popeye in a Original DK Post by: iankellogg on May 05, 2014, 10:31:54 am I also can't stand mark's PCBs. half the time you have to grind off the cut out because he didnt do it right.
