Probably a stupid Nintendo question?

Hi Tim;
The wiring's the same on some, but different on others. Dr. Mario was a
Vs. game, so the cabinet must have been rewired to be a Vs. cabinet. It'll
play any Vs. game, which means if you have different Vs. pcb's, it'll play
them, or the Vs. pcb that's in it (Dr. Mario) will have roms that you can
remove and put other Vs. roms on. Your other Nintendo boards like Donkey
Kong and Mario Bros, Popeye etc. won't work because the wiring is very
different.

Hello;
Yes, there was one for the Playchoice, but it wouldn't be in a cabinet
that says "Dr. Mario" on it, it would be in a cabinet with the playchoice
marquee, and there'd be more games... so since you didn't mention any of
them, I assumed it must be the Vs. version.

DK/DKJr. have the same harness, but I believe that Popeye has a different
power supply configuration, I've heard. The joysticks only a 2 way, as well
I believe.

Good luck!
