It is AMAZING. 

 

Contact tep392 via PM. 

 

Echo groundtroopers comment.  Tep392’s DK PK port is truly amazing.  Whenever we have friends over for a game night, I have to dedicate one of my 7800’s for this cart.?

I highly recommend the POKEY (PK) version.  The first time you plug in that cart, and hear that glorious POKEY sound, you will be instantly transported back to the arcade.

Yep, contact Perry (tep392). When I got mine about a month ago, he said I got his last board, and I'm not sure how often he restocks, but certainly worth a PM. It's $52 shipped and includes the cart w/nice label and a high-quality manual. You have to mail Perry a POKEY or Ballblazer donor cart on top of the $52 PayPal payment. Marc O. sells a matching box if that's your thing. Best of luck!

If this Pokey One thing works for other Homebrews I assume they could be used for this game as well?

 

I'm going to need a new copy someday but I'm in a game desert so no Ballblazers to be found here. 

 

I believe it has been confirmed by tep392 that POKEY One does work with DKPK.

 

I can't find the post right now though. 

 

---- EDIT ----

 

Here is the post.

I've been thinking about getting a PokeyOne for this game, myself.

 

Ever since I saw a video that featured Pokey sounds for this game, my original 7800 Donkey Kong sounds just make me cringe. 

I thought I read where PokeyONEs cost $40 per? You're better off going with the real thing for less.

Best Electronics still sells them for $20, but limit 1, plus shipping costs, so the price differential is less than it initially appears Plus, if you want more than 1 for homebrew carts, or want to use them in stereo POKEY setups in A8 computers, you’re out of luck.

If you can point me to a place that has them for less, I'm all for it.  But I've seen them go for that on ebay. 

Looks like cart-only stock is low at the moment on eBay, but you'll be able to get one for $25 shipped if you wait a week or two and make it a saved search w/notifications and pounce. $30 shipped if you're not as picky. I've seen retro game stores sell them for $5-10 because they don't know they're special haha.
