VS Nintendo Red Tent | Dual Upright Multigame Kit
Upgrade documented compatible original Nintendo VS Red Tent or VS Dual Screen Upright hardware with a multigame system that supports up to 8 games per side, on-panel game switching, head-to-head play, and supported 4-player configurations.
This kit runs on the original Nintendo VS arcade PCB and preserves the original hardware platform, controls, timing, sound, and video. It is not an emulator, reproduction game board, or generic multicade replacement.
Compatibility & Requirements
PPU and Game Pak Selection
The games available to your Nintendo VS cabinet depend on the PPU installed on the original PCB and the selected Game Pak.
Current product selections cover PPU references 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, and 2C03B. Identify the PPU before ordering by checking the reference printed on the chip, which is commonly located under a heatsink.
Side A and Side B can use separate Game Pak selections when the hardware configuration supports both installed sides.
VS Nintendo Red Tent Game Paks by PPU
Select the Game Pak that matches the PPU installed on each side of your VS Red Tent or VS Dual Screen Upright. Each daughtercard supports up to 8 games, allowing up to 16 total games when both sides are equipped. Available games vary by PPU and Game Pak configuration.
PPU 0001
PPU 0002
PPU 0003
PPU 0004
PPU 2C03B
