Donkey Kong Junior High-Score Save

Overview

Now Donkey Kong Jr. is about as much fun as the original, so this it made sense to look at this as the next highscore save. As the hardware is virtually identical it made the porting and code modifications thankfully quite straighforward.

Again I've tried to documented both the hardware theory and the software for the complete upgrade, including the source code.
