Looks good with the new DK3 sticker. If I had the 3 DK games I would like a sticker too if one was missing.

Great job with the website. I love those videos. Are you planning on making the Punch-Out work as a Super Punch-Out!! game?

John, I'm loving the Vs. videos. This is a system I've only recently become aware of, and it's neat to see play on the various games.

Have you considered getting a tripod for your camera? I think you'd have less trouble if you could just lock the thing down and play for a minute or two, instead of trying to play one handed. And you'd have less of that 'shakey-cam' feel.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the new videos and dip switch settings! Clu Clu Land looks awesome!

FYI, they had a dualsystem cab at CAX with Vs. SMB and Vs. Top Gun. You would have liked it. Used to be a Vs. Baseball based on heavy screen burn on both monitors.

Keep the videos coming. Lovin' it.

Tom, I didn't delete your message. The comment system I installed is weird. It treats johnsarcade.com and johnsarcade.com/index.php as different pages. So, I have two sets of comments on the same home page. Not sure how to fix it!

If you got to KLOV.com and look up Wickedbass, he is selling the Punch-Out!! freeplay ROMs.

I haven't seen many nice Donkey Kongs for sale lately. They do show up, but are in demand or no one is selling right now since the Steve Weibe madness. I suggest checking Craig's List daily. Use Crazedlist.org to search many areas around you. I do see a lot of Blue Nintendo Vs. cabinets that were at once Donkey Kongs. It's possible to restore one back to DK but that'll take some work. Good luck!

John one more question...Where did you get that awesome Donkey Kong Cabinet? It looks freakin brand new. I cannot seem to find a cabinet worth buying without restoring the whole thing. I live in New England as well if that helps.

Hello, John. I enjoyed your website and I was hoping you could give me a little advice. I have been a big fan of the Donkey Kong series since I was 12 year's old and I was looking into purchasing an upright unit. I was hoping you could tell me your opinion of the Namco three-in-one DK/DK Jr./Mario Bothers unit. While I am sure you are familiar with it, can you tell me your opinion? Is it true to the original games? Would you advise me to go this route if having original equipment is not a must for me? In an ideal world I would have mint DK, DK, Jr., DK 3 and Popeye, but the task of finding and renovating is not my area of expertise and the whole process concerns me. If you are open to a phone call I would appreciate your input. If so, how can I reach you? Thank you for your time.

Hey I saw your site on the web and I was wondering if you might have some info on the nIntendo vs. system? I have both the red tent and the stand up unisystem. I moved some roms around and now three of my games wont work. Excitebike, Golf, and Top Gun are all doing nothing when I turn them on. I know the roms are in right as I have done this before. Could they have been erased by something? I have tried other cpu chips and other boards and I get nothing. My other games, SMB, mach rider, slalom, etc.. all still work fine. Just thought you might have some ideas, any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Great site! I found you through some message board posts about your 60-in-1 Ms. Pac-Man. I'm thinking of doing the same thing and like the Lizard Lick jamma-pac adapter because it doesn't require the separate power supply like some other adapters. How did you get the player 1/2 buttons wired up to act as the fire buttons? Like you, I don't want to modify any of my stock parts. It looks like there's a connector on the adapter to plug in the buttons, but what's involved on the buttons themselves? Any wire cutting/soldering or just plug-n-play on that end too? Thanks for any help!

John, a little tip to make you hate Shaun White less: Hit the down arrow on the D-Pad. You can then set a marker by pressing X, and warp to it by pressing B. That way, if you miss a coin or something by a few inches, you can warp back a few week and try again. Won't make you love the game probably, but you can regret your purchase a little less this way. :)
