I got my DK3 Fixed yestarday and now I'm getting around too doing the DK3 High Score save/Free play Kit?

Mikes Did'nt give me any different information on how too install this kit from others like DK,DKJR
But these DK3 Boards are alittle different from those

from the DK,DKJR High Score save kits i was pulling the Z80 chip.

now with the DK3 Kit I'm seeing 2 of these kinds of chips.

LH0080A Z80A-CPU-D 237AE

Other one

LH0083A Z80A-DMA 238BE

Both of these are right by each other on the DK3 Board.

Thankyou too anyone that helps!

Happy New Years Eve everyone!
 
Brian,
One is the Z80 CPU and the other is the Z80 DMA.

Remove the Z80 CPU and install your kit there. Here is a pic from Braze showing you exactly which one is which.

TY Dave for responding. I figured it out. I found out this is only a High Score kit not a free play kit. It does not have all the other stuff that DK,DKJR has.

They're right next to each other on DK and DKJR too, but they use a different DMA controller. Pretty stupid that they used a DMA controller at all, since my code mods have shown it's not even needed.

Z80-CPU is the one you want to swap out.
 
TY Hudson for responding. I figured it out earlyer. I thought i had installed it wrong there is no Boot Screen or anything too know its really there.

Why it does'nt have free play and sounds when the game is not being Played? I think you would sell more of these if they had them!
