Double Donkey Kong Remix Installation Instructions

PCB. With it installed, it expands the available games to include Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior,

Donkey Kong Remix, Donkey Kong Junior Remix, Donkey Kong Deranged, Donkey Kong Trainer and

Donkey Kong with Pace calculation.

This kit may also be installed into regular Donkey Kong or Donkey Kong Junior PCBs but only the

respective gam es from their respective PCB types may be played (Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Remix,

etc... on a Donkey Kong PCB. Donkey Kong Junior and Donkey Kong Junior Remix on a Donkey Kong

Junior PCB.)

This kit also adds high score retention, optional free play mode

and individual settings for each game.

Double Donkey Kong Remix Installation Instructions:

Locate the Z80A

CPU chip on the Double Donkey Kong PCB. The Z80 is one of the 3 large chips on the

top board of the main PCB set. The Z80 socket has 7C marked in silk screened print next to it. With the

power turned off carefully remove the Z80 chip from it's socket. If there is a high score kit installed,

carefully remove the kit from the Z80 socket and remove the Z80 chip from the kit. On a DDK high score

kit there is also a separate select wire connected to the kit. Clip or desolder this wire. This select wire will

need to be connected to the DDK Remix kit. There is a length of wire with a small connector at one end

supplied with the DDK Remix kit. Solder the two ends of wire to each other and cover the exposed section

of wire with shrink tubing or electrical tape. If soldering is not practical or possible, twisting the two

exposed ends of wire together should also be sufficient.

Carefully insert the Z80

chip into the empty socket on the DDK Remix kit. Take note to place the chip in

the correct orientation and also please leave the protective foam on the bottom of the Remix kit to protect the

header pins from being bent while handled. There should be an indentation or marking on the Z80 chip to

indicate which side Pin 1 is on. On the DDK Remix PCB there is a round marking in the silk screen outline

around the socket and also a printed asterisk (*) to indicate where pin 1 is on the socket.

Once the Z80 CP

U has been inserted into the DDK Remix kit, the kit can be plugged into the empty Z80

socket on the DDK PCB. Make sure to orient the DDK Remix kit so that Pin 1 lines up with Pin 1 of the

socket on the main DDK PCB. The chips on the DDK PCB and the DDK Remix kit should have their

lettering/markings oriented in the same directions. Gently press down on the kit until it's seated in the main

socket. It should not be difficult to push in and care should be taken to ensure that the kit stays level while

be ing pushed into the socket as the header pins can break if they are bent.

Connect the select wire to the DDK Remix kit. There is a single pin on the top of the DDK Remix kit where

the connector at the end of the select wire will fit into. The select wire does not need to be connected when

this kit is being used with a normal DK or DK Junior PCB. It is only necessary when being installed into a

Double Donkey Kong PCB.
