Multiple Donkey Kong boards in one cabinet

There's also the risk of ESD damage due to switching these signals manually.

The joy/control panel would proably be ok... but I wouldn't want to switch the active signals (video / sound) or power with these switches.

I would not want to swtich anything live power or video wise using a printer port swtich.
Just mean you going to have to power down until it discharges then swtich over to power back up.

maybe a Nice LED to indicate which board has power and when It has discharged..

How did you deal with DK2 using the same button combination (P1&P2)
to switch via dk and dk2 and clays switcher also using P1&P2? I'd love
to have a full nintendo row but I just dont have the room.

If you don't set D2K to freeplay, it won't switch using P1/P2.

I my case a relocated the power switch to the front of the cabinet and turn off the game and then flip the switch and repower the game.
