tep392 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 It just occured to me that with the XM having High Score Cart funtionality built in, this game really needs to support it. I havn't done HSC before but I'm sure I can figure it out with all the references out there. I'm also thinking that I can make both the US and Japanese screen orders avaialable. Maybe controlled with the difficulty switch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tep392 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 I am interested, but will we be able to order later when the xm is out? I'll continue make additional small batches after this first run. It just might not be available on short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bones Brigade Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Just for the sound. The game doesn't require any extra ram. So in theory, if someone buys the cart as is, and has a spare Pokey chip around (like say from an extra ballblazer cart) they could reasonably hack it in there themselves if they had a proper schematic for wiring it up and decent soldering skills?

You would also need to include some address decoding logic. I'm sure it could be done but it would be an ugly beast. You might be better off trying to hack a Commando cart in the same manner that I hacked the Ballblazer cart for the 48k version I've done. I left the POKEY chip mapped in the same space as the ROM but wired it so it would activate on writes while the ROM would activate on reads.

Next question - does anyone around here still make or sell stock of the xboard? I want to play this as soon as I get it, but it sounds like this will arrive way before the XM begins shipping, and I haven't even pre-ordered an XM yet, which means if I do, I'm at the bottom of the list. I dont' want to wait until next June to play this if you're able to ship them out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This is an exciting surprise. Didn't the Coleco and Intellivision get recent 'true arcade' renditions of DK? Does this 7800 version have the potential to be the best cartridge release of Donkey Kong available? (on a classic system obviously) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(on a classic system obviously) It would be very tough to top the Colecovision version Eduardo did. It's top notch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
