Updated: 7-12-09

Below is a list of Nintendo Vs. games and the needed PPUs to get them working. PPUs are completley interchangeable but the colors will not be right if you use the wrong one. This is not a 100% complete list of Nintendo Vs. games. There are several games that were only released in Japan or were released in very limited numbers in the US. Some of these games include Vs. Trojan, Vs. Urban Champion, Vs. Kung-Fu and a few others. If you have any information about a game not on the following list of games, please contact me!

I have also listed games I own and the games I am looking for. If you have any for sale, please contact me.

This page is constantly updated. Please keep checking back, I seriously love this system!

Be sure to watch the newly added videos where I try to explain how the Nintendo Vs. PCBs and games work. If you are unsure how this system works, I hope these videos prove uselful!

In addition to the custom PPU shown below, each of these works with the RP2A03 CPU. This chip is readily available at MikesArcade.com.

7-12-09: I added all the known dip settings for the games. These are all correct now and not backwards. Enjoy!

6-28-09: I discovered that the Duck Hunt PPU is RC2C03C and not RC2C03B. I know for certain these PPUs are not interchangeable as different colors will be produced if you try. This is interesting as the MAME source and most sources say the Duck Hunt PPU is RC2C03B which is not true. I have two original sets of Duck Hunt PPUs and ROMs and the factory labeled "Duck Hunt" PPUs are BOTH RC2C03C. So, I am not sure what the story is with that. I also am not aware of any other games that use RC2C03C.

This is a great page, I am looking at getting one of these, and that was my first question: "How easy is it to swap out games?". You explained it very well, and had the great idea of pre-loading each card with games for easy switch out. I love the idea, and I hope to get my dual red tent soon.

Thanks for your hard work!

How about a downloadable collection of the vs red tent instruction sheets that go on each side under the plastic. I would scan and email the ones I have if you want. Just an idea. Later.

Thanks for the great vs website--tons of useful info found here. FYI-Your page of dips for vs baseball is missing the GAME/TEST option and the SW banks are reversed. The manual page is correct. Also, your 'contact' link email just bounces back. Do you have a source for PPU chips or just ebay + networking? Thanks again, and the vids are great to evaluate a game before buying!!

Hi, I just bought 2 red tents yesterday and learned just about everything I know from your site and videos. However, when I put RBI in one of them, it made a little sparking noise and the whole daughter board smelled terrible. This also happened with the CPU 2 times, and they smelled terrible, and nothing had come on the screen any of the 3 times. Did I short circuit them, can they still work? I don't think I did anything wrong, I placed all the roms correctly on the daughter board...Also, the red tent I put it in worked fine with excitebike earlier, but now I'm afraid to test it again in case it ruins the game.

Hi,

I have just purchased a set of pcbs. Amongst them I have a MDS-04-CPU and a MDS-05-CPU and a playchoice 10.

Can you tell me, are these games equivalent to NES games or arcade games?

I buy most of mine from Ebay and from networking with other collectors. I suggest joining KLOV.com and post in the "Wanted" forums.

Good. Where do you buy these? I can't find any of them... anywhere.
John
09 May 2009, 18:51
No, you do not need to solder to add or change games. The chips are all socketed and are easily removed with small flat screwdriver or just by hand.

Do I need solder for adding new games? Cause I'm converting one of these to a Donkey Kong and want to save the PCB and stuff to convert something into on of these one day.
John
20 Apr 2009, 14:24
Yes, for Vs. Tennis you need (12) ROM chips, 2 PPUS chips and 2 CPU chips to make it work. It's a Dualsystem only game.
