Donkey Kong Jr. Remix High Score Save Kit Compatibility

Confirm whether your Donkey Kong Jr. arcade PCB is compatible with the Donkey Kong Jr. Remix Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit with Trainer. The daughterboard supports documented compatible U.S., Japanese, and most bootleg Donkey Kong Jr. board sets while retaining the original arcade PCB and processor installation platform.

Before You Order
Hardware: Documented for compatible U.S., Japanese, and most bootleg Donkey Kong Jr. arcade PCBs; uncommon board revisions should be checked against the current installation documentation
Processor: Requires a compatible Z80-family processor and supports documented NEC D780C installations
Installation: The processor must be installed in a compatible 40-pin socket; if it is soldered directly to the PCB, the correct socket must be installed before the Remix daughterboard can be fitted

Choosing the Correct Donkey Kong Jr. Remix Arcade PCB Upgrade

The Donkey Kong Jr. Remix Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit with Trainer is a daughterboard upgrade for documented compatible Donkey Kong Jr. arcade hardware. It is not a separate Remix arcade PCB or replacement multicade system.

Compatibility depends on the actual Donkey Kong Jr. PCB, processor type, and CPU socket installed in the cabinet. The product supports documented compatible U.S., Japanese, and most bootleg board sets, including supported NEC D780C processor installations, so the original hardware should be identified before ordering.

Donkey Kong Jr. PCB Compatibility

U.S. Donkey Kong Jr. Board Sets The Remix daughterboard is documented for compatible U.S. Donkey Kong Jr. arcade PCBs. Confirm the processor type and socket condition before installation.
Japanese Donkey Kong Jr. Board Sets Compatible Japanese Donkey Kong Jr. board configurations are also supported. Uncommon PCB or ROM revisions should still be checked before ordering.
Many Documented Bootleg Board Sets Unlike some Nintendo-specific upgrades, Donkey Kong Jr. Remix has documented support for many compatible bootleg Donkey Kong Jr. PCBs. Because bootleg hardware varies, identify the board and processor before assuming compatibility.
DJR1 Installation Example The current installation guide illustrates a Nintendo DJR1 board set and identifies the processor socket at position 7C. Do not assume every supported bootleg or alternate board uses the same physical location.

Donkey Kong Jr. Remix Processor Compatibility

Donkey Kong Jr. Remix uses a compatible Z80-family processor removed from the original arcade PCB and transferred to the processor socket on the Remix daughterboard.

Supported installations include documented NEC D780C processors. This is an important distinction from some other Donkey Kong-family Remix products, so the actual processor marking should be read before ordering.

If the existing processor is not suitable or a replacement is preferred, use the product page to review the currently available Z80 processor option.

How the Donkey Kong Jr. Remix Daughterboard Installation Works

Locate the Compatible Processor On the DJR1 board set illustrated in the current installation guide, the Z80A CPU is one of the large chips on the top board and the processor socket is marked 7C.
Transfer the Processor to the Remix Board With cabinet power off, the compatible processor is carefully removed from its socket and installed into the empty processor socket on the Donkey Kong Jr. Remix daughterboard. Pin 1 orientation must match the documented markings.
Install the Completed Daughterboard The assembled Remix board is inserted into the vacated processor socket on the original Donkey Kong Jr. PCB. Header pins, processor orientation, and daughterboard orientation should be checked before cabinet power is restored.

Donkey Kong Jr. Remix Pre-Order Compatibility Checklist

1. Identify the Arcade PCB Determine whether the cabinet contains a U.S., Japanese, or bootleg Donkey Kong Jr. board and identify any visible PCB or revision markings.
2. Confirm the Original Game Board Works Verify that the Donkey Kong Jr. PCB operates correctly before installing the Remix daughterboard. Existing arcade PCB faults should be repaired first.
3. Identify the Processor Read the markings on the installed processor. The Remix product supports compatible Z80-family processors, including documented NEC D780C installations.
4. Check the 40-Pin Processor Socket Confirm that the processor is already installed in a compatible 40-pin socket. If it is soldered directly to the arcade PCB, a qualified arcade technician must remove it and install the proper socket first.
5. Review the Installation Guide Check processor orientation, Pin 1 markings, daughterboard orientation, and header-pin alignment before removing the processor or restoring cabinet power.

Original Donkey Kong Jr. ROM Support

Donkey Kong Jr. Remix retains access to the original game. When the original Donkey Kong Jr. option is selected, supported program ROMs installed on the original arcade PCB can be used.

This makes the original board and ROM configuration part of the compatibility check rather than treating Remix as a completely independent replacement game system.

After Confirming Donkey Kong Jr. Remix Compatibility

Once the arcade PCB, processor type, 40-pin socket, and installation requirements have been confirmed, use the individual product page for the complete Remix stage content, Trainer Mode features, score-saving choices, included components, current pricing, processor options, and ordering information.

This category is intended primarily to determine whether the arcade hardware is suitable for the Donkey Kong Jr. Remix Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit with Trainer before an order is placed.
