VS unisystem games

Thanks guy's heres why i ask,I had a deal kinda set up with another member here but he is five hours away so i was arranging transport as this was gonna be my christmas present.We were at diner a few nights ago when i over heard my wife talking about getting me "something" so i did a little snooping and saw she was bidding on a cab on ebay,i called off the deal for the other one and contacted the dude who was gonna bring it and told him it was off(we cant afford both).So when the auction ended she "surprised" me and showed me the auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/NICE-ARCADE...62+heUf5sroz9l6MhTtnDD8=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I already have a playchoice,i know game play is a little diffrent on VS but not enuf to excite me.Is there a rom hack like on playchoice to play diffrent games on the carts/boards? What i would like to do is turn it into a psuedoDonkey Kong i.e. marquee,control panel,bezel,side art and hopefuly a VS board with DK on it.

Ive been outta this hobby for the last year or so as my attention has/was been on my father,since his passing my wife has been trying to get my attention back on something to keep my mind busy and figured a project would do that,I got a good one with her i guess.

Sorry for your loss...

But congrats on the new find! One thing to keep in mind is that DK and the Vs system have different monitor orientations (DK is vertical & Vs. is horizontal). There is not a hack to play DK on a Vs board (as far as I know). If you want to play DK, you would need a new board set and a new harness. If you're also getting a marquee, bezel, CP, and possibly side art, that will probably cost you the same as getting a dedicated DK, not to mention that you would have to change the monitor orientation. It would be easier in that sense to convert the Vs into a Popeye or Mario Bros, but still pretty costly.

However, I recommend keeping the machine as is. There are tons of Vs. games to collect and play. If I had a Playchoice and a Vs system, I would focus on games that are different from the NES version. Super Mario is the best example. It is far more challenging than the NES version and, therefore, makes a much better arcade game, deserving of it's own machine (IMO). Or you could take your favorite Playchoice game and do a dedicated version (Castlevania, Dr Mario, Gradius, etc)
 
Also, just looked at the listing. The listing you won is a dedicated Vs cab for under $80. Lucky! I would love one. Please don't convert it to a DK. There are a million blue Nintendo cabs out there that you could get. I would trade you if you didn't live across the country.

since its that much trouble it looks like i'll have a VS cab,my dad gave me my PC so i guess its all in the family.Now to find some of you guys to sell me some games as the rest of my christmas present :) PM me if you got some for sale(or i could just look in the FS section).
