In addition to the Gauntlet conversion I recently picked up, I also acquired a DK that had been converted into Herbie at the Olympics. To the dismay of some, Donkey Kong has sent Herbie packing.
This is what I'm starting with:
This shouldn't be quite as big an undertaking as the Gauntlet restore. Here's the list of what needs to be done:
- Obtain DK roms and z80 (DONE)
- Marquee
- Bezel
- Control Panel Overlay
- DK Side Art
- Vinyl Kit
- new t-molding
- clean the buttons!
Big thanks to ballytablewiz for all his help in getting it converted back to DK.

On top of that, the side art went on TERRIBLE, had bubbles everywhere. I ended up just pulling it off and I'll have to order a new piece. So frustrated with things at this point.
