DK Remix Kit
Great addition to any DK for free play, high score saves, and the additional games! Don’t forget to check out the Ultimate 3DK kit. I eventually upgraded my DK to the 3DK kit on release day. Worth every penny!

Z80 8-Bit Microprocessor (40-Pin CPU) The Z80 is a classic 8-bit microprocessor widely used in arcade machines from the late 1970s through the 1980s. This processor served as the main CPU in many arcade PCBs, executing game code, processing player inputs, and coordinating communication with memory, sound hardware, and video circuitry. The Z80 became one of the most popular processors in arcade hardware due to its reliability and expanded instruction set compared to earlier CPUs. Because of its widespread use, the Z80 is commonly found in a variety of classic arcade games and remains an essential component when repairing or restoring vintage arcade boards. This processor uses a standard 40-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) and installs directly into a compatible socket on the arcade PCB. Replacing a faulty CPU can often resolve boot failures, lockups, or other operational issues in aging arcade hardware. Key Features Z80 8-bit microprocessor Standard 40-pin DIP package Common CPU used in many classic arcade PCBs Handles core game logic, timing, and system control Ideal for arcade PCB troubleshooting, repair, and restoration Used In Arcade Games Such As Donkey Kong Galaga Donkey Kong Jr. Frogger Galaxian Dig Dug Xevious …and many other classic arcade titles Installation Notes Installs into a standard 40-pin DIP socket on compatible arcade PCBs Ensure correct notch orientation when installing the CPU Recommended for technicians performing arcade board repair or restoration *Manufacturer brands or markings may vary.
Donkey Kong Remix Instruction Magnet This magnet applies and removes easily. It adheres to any ferrous metal (steel control panels, coin doors, etc.). For non-metal surfaces, use double-sided mounting tape (not included). Specifications Size: 3″ (L) × 2″ (W) Finish: Soft-laminated top Back: Strong magnetic backing
8035 8-Bit Microcontroller (Sound CPU, 40-Pin DIP) The 8035 is an 8-bit microcontroller from the Intel MCS-48 family that was commonly used as the sound CPU on classic arcade PCBs. This processor manages audio control, timing signals, and communication with the sound hardware that generates music and sound effects during gameplay. In many arcade boards, the 8035 operates alongside the main game processor and is dedicated to handling audio-related tasks. By separating sound processing from the main CPU, arcade hardware was able to deliver more complex sound effects and music while maintaining smooth gameplay performance. The chip uses a standard 40-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) and installs into a compatible socket on the arcade PCB. Because the sound CPU is critical for proper audio operation, the 8035 is often replaced during troubleshooting and restoration of classic arcade boards. Key Features 8035 8-bit microcontroller from the Intel MCS-48 family Commonly used as the sound CPU on arcade PCBs Standard 40-pin DIP package Handles audio control, timing, and sound hardware communication Ideal for arcade PCB repair and restoration Used In Arcade Games Such As Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr. Donkey Kong 3 …and other classic Nintendo arcade titles Installation Notes Installs into a standard 40-pin DIP socket on compatible arcade PCBs Ensure the notch orientation matches the socket when installing Recommended for technicians performing arcade PCB troubleshooting or repair *Brand or manufacturer markings may vary (for example NEC 8035 or compatible equivalents).
40-Pin Socket Specifications This 40-pin DIP socket is designed for reliable installation of integrated circuits and arcade daughter boards that use a standard 40-pin layout. Using a socket allows the chip or module to be easily removed or replaced without soldering directly to the PCB, helping protect the board during upgrades, repairs, or troubleshooting. Pin Pitch: 2.54 mm (0.100″) standard DIP spacing Total Pins: 40 pins arranged in two rows (2×20) Mounting Type: Through-hole (THT) for secure soldered installation Compatibility: Designed for standard 40-pin DIP integrated circuits and modules Installation Benefit: Allows ICs to be inserted or removed without repeated soldering Use Case: Ideal for arcade PCB upgrades, ROM installations, and repair work The standard 2.54 mm (0.100″) pin spacing matches the layout used on most classic arcade PCBs and DIP integrated circuits. Once soldered to the board, the socket provides a stable connection while allowing the chip to be safely inserted and removed when needed.
