Got my DK2 kit today! It "fixes" the Ladder Cheat?!
So yeah I'm giddy like a school girl, when I finally got my DK2 kit today. I have a cocktail that I had to modify and add a socketed Z80- which I did about 8 months ago in preparation for this day. When I got it, I had it installed 15 minutes after I opened the box.
Now my 4 board set is the original ROM set that allows the ladder cheat. It says "1981 Nintendo" on the title screen. Now after I install the kit, it now says "1981 Nintendo of America" on the screen, and doesn't allow the ladder trick. It's probably a good thing though because I used the cheat as a crutch anyway, and without it I should get better. I had never realized that it "fixed" this, so just thought I'd share it. I did a little google searching and couldn't find any info about this, but I'm sure it's somewhere on the net already. If you already knew this, then well, good for you.
Anyway here's the kit!
So who else loves their DK2/High Score kit? I still have yet to play DKII, as I've been busy filling Donkey Kong with High Scores.
