Nintendo High Score Save Kit self test compatibility?
Does anyone know if these high score save kits (either the ones from Mike's Arcade or from Braze) are at all compatible across boards with regards to the self test? Obviously, the ROM checks would fail if you used a DK kit on a JR board, but would the RAM checks pass? What about on a Mario Bros board?
I ask because it's hard for me to pony up $45 just for the purpose of saving my measly 90k in DK (and I use tokens so the attract-mode freeplay is not a bonus), but if the kit could also be used to diagnose the RAM on my DK JR board and the two non-working Mario Bros PCBs I just picked up, it becomes a lot more attractive.
Anyone know? Does it seem like it would work? Am I being stupid? Educate me!
