Hey guys, went to the Anaheim auction today, and got this Japanese DK Jr. which I'm pretty sure is actually a bootleg of some sort. I looked at the Japanese flyer and it doesn't show this cabinet...but rather a blue standard Nintendo cab.
OK, so the reason I bought this thing...the monitor. It's got a really nice monitor. However there are no real labels on it - so I'm not sure what kind of monitor it is. It's not a Sanyo...is it safe to say that this monitor doesn't have the color inverting thingie that Nintendo games normally have? That is - could I swap this monitor into another game w/ no problems?
If the cabinet is a bootleg, is it safe to say that the board is too? It's playing the Japanese version of DK Jr. The levels go Main-Springboard-Hideout-Chains...in order, never doubling back. It's got the Japanese designer names in the Top 5. However, the PCB doesn't have any Nintendo markings at all the ROMS have labels w/ big numbers on them (I saw that before on a bootleg Puckman). If this is a bootleg - would the pinouts be the same as a real Nintendo board, or different?
Here are some pics...you tell ME what's going on w/ this mofo!
Decent white cab:
