Ok, So I've decided to start working on my DK

The rom sets I've found don't seem to match up I know there is some confusion about which is what in mame, and my google fu and forum searches have left me even more confused.

I have a 4 board set

TKG3-06-CLK has TKG3-L 4MC NC RC SC
TKG3-06-Video has TKG3-V 5HC 5KC
TKG3-06-SOU has TKG3-S 3JC 3IC
TKG3-06-CPU has TKG3-C 5FC 5GCA 5HC 5KCA

So first is that the complete set as 5L on the cpu board is empty.
Where can I find this set to do checksums?

Thanks
 
The romset is the same, just in different board locations to the 2 board set. The Braze site has a reference table for the location differences, and yes it says that 5L should be unpopulated.
 
It appears I have the Japanese version, not the US version. So that much is now figured out. Had one eprom bad. Now to get the monitor working correctly.
 
I have a 4 board in box in my closet taking up space .. It works however the colors are sporadic , but the game play is good. I'm sure you can use it for parts and spares !

You could have the early U.S. rom set that has the ladder cheat. It's very likely being that it's a TKG3-06 board. The Japanese rom set is a lot different.
