Let's start by saying some facts of what this Ultimate 3DK Multigame kit entails...
Do I need to send in my PCB to get the kit installed?
You DO NOT have to send your PCB in to get "upgraded"! You can save the shipping and install yourself in approximately 15 minutes! No soldering is necessary. Check out the new installation video guide. Who needs a PDF anymore? Sheesh...
Wait?!? I can install it myself? Yes.
Does the 3DK Multigame kit sound correct? [Click link for sound comparison video]
There are options that you, the buyer of the 3DK Multigame kit, can select in the interactive Game Settings menu, to allow for the best sound possible to your ears. We all know the original sounds, now you can play each game the way it should be. The "walking", "climbing", "falling", "jump" analog sounds are being used from DK on DKJr game inside the kit. There is also an option to use the NES version of sounds for DKJr analog. There is also a 100% accurate sounds, external module that is on your kit, this is set in the settings as default.
I've heard that you can only run both games on a DKJR PCB?!?
Well, you've been told wrong for many years. Some also said that DK3 won't run on a DK PCB too, again, that's not true. As you can now see on our YouTube Channel.
This kit plays on a Donkey Kong Junior PCB. Not a DK, not a DK3.
Let's get to some of the fun stuff! See below.
- Install Video - No soldering required, board modifications or special harness wiring. Plug in and go!
- Modern Menu - The coolest interactive game menu to date! You can also choose a standard game list menu
- Save your scores forever - We use a serial eprom, not a failure prone NVRAM or batteries that expire or need changed
- High Score Saves - Saves the Top 5 scores and initials for each game!
- Has separate score tables - Different high score saving for each mode (Donkey Kong/DKJr/DK3/Pauline etc)
- High Score Saves "Splash" Logo - Able to turn on and off between game changes/startup

Works perfect on my Jr pcb
Great stuff. Ordered and it arrived quickly. Followed the installation guide and was playing.
This is an awesome multigame kit!
Installed on my DKJR and was able to get to the Modern Menu and play DK3! Rearranged Eis just fun!
This is the best Donkey Kong Jr multigame save kit
Really like the standard game list. Rearranged Edition is so cool
Works perfect in my DKJR Cockrell cabinet
We love Rearranged edition!
This is the greatest multi kit ever invented!
My installation was easy. I read another review that said they had to solder in a socket. NOT HERE! Took about 20 minutes from start to finish and I was playing some Rearranged!
Works great -- but it will possibly require soldering
Despite what the description says, you MAY need to do some soldering -- or rather, desoldering, to install this kit. My DKJr board did not have a socketed 8035 - it was soldered to the motherboard. There was no evidence that this board had been worked on before (factory soldering job, no flux residue from repair jobs, etc), so I think it's safe to assume it came from the factory like this. I had to desolder it first, then install a socket prior to installing the kit. Check your DKJr board before ordering this if you don't have the proper equipment to safely remove soldered in chips. Maybe my board is an anomaly, I can't say for sure.
Homerun!!!!!
Always wanted a kit like the 3DKJr! Amazingly easy install (did it myself)! Great save kit with a lot of options!
Do I need to send in my pcb to get the kit installed?
You DO NOT have to send your pcb in to get "upgraded"! You can save the shipping and install yourself in approximately 15 minutes! No soldering is necessary. Check out the new Installation Video or the Installation Guide PDF.
Wait?!? I can install it myself? The answer is yes.
Does the Ultimate 3DK Donkey Kong Multigame Free Play and High Score Save kit sound correct?
What about the sounds?!?
There are options that you, the buyer of the 3DK Multigame kit, can select in the interactive Game Settings menu, to allow for the best sound possible to your ears. We all know the original sounds, now you can play each game the way it should be. There will be an additional modual at a later date after the kits release for those who choose...
I've heard that you can only run both games on a DKJR pcb?!?
Well, you've been told wrong for many years. Some also said that DK3 won't run on a DK pcb too, again, that's not true. As you can now see on our YouTube Channel. Click HERE
Will this kit be able to play on a 4 board DK stack?
Short answer is no. The daughter cards that are for this 3DK Multigame kit only fit on the 2 pcb stack. Will I change the layout of the kit to accomodate a 4 board stack? Possible, but, do not hold your breath.
There are other projects way ahead of a "cocktail stack" kit. Sorry. Will the 3DK kit allow you to play in a cocktail table? Only if you have a DKJR cocktail, with a DK 2 board stack inside. A normal DK cocktail does not have the room to put a 2 board stack inside. Hope that makes things clear!
Do I need a PCB Switcher and other kits to make this work on my DK PCB?
No.
This in all enclusive multigame kit that install on a 2 board DK PCB.
No more switchers, no individual kits. This will do it all!
How do I unlock the new Editions?
Unlocking the new Editions....great question. While I will not say exactly HOW to unlock each Edition to earn the ACHIEVEMENT of new editions to be added to menu screen, I will say they are only unlocked inside the Rearranged Edition... ;)
There is a vid on our YouTube channel showing how to unlock the Black Hammer Edition!

This is a standard in all of our kits! Click the button for even more Tips & Tricks!
How do I get to the menu settings?
With the power off on your game. Press and hold P1 while you turn the game on. Release P1 button when the screen tells you to. You are now in the main menu settings. This is a feature built into your kits so the menu settings are not accessible to your guests or family. Now, having said that, you need to enable this feature in the menu settings, or, disable if you want your kit to give you approximately 5 seconds every time you turn on your game.
Learn moreMy Menu is corrupt! What do I do?
This is the pic Adam had on his screen -
Let's start simple...
What does each daughter card do on the kit?
- 2e+2f = colors only | 2n = colors of characters (no objects!)
- 3n/3p = character set
- 7c,7d,7e,7f = objects (sprites)
Colors seem to be ok (so, not 2e-2f), Character colors seem to be ok (girders have the correct color) -> So, not 2N,
Charactes are ok (girders are girders) ->So, not 3n/3p.
Only the sprites are not correct, I would bet on the cable with the grabber off the 7c-7f daughter pcb or, just reseat the whole 7c-7f pcb
I see there are multiple high score save kits for the same game. What's the difference? Which one should I choose?
Great Question!
While all of the high score save kits save scores, have an on screen menu for difficulty settings and other features like attract sounds (Please see the description under each kit for full details)
There are usually 2 or 3 main types -
