PacManPlus Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Crazy Kong has that bug, not? Yes, it's Crazy Kong, not Donkey Kong. I used to play that all of the time back in the day. I always exploited that bug, and the one on the cement factory screen where you can 'put down' the hammer (drop the hammer in the down position) and it will destroy anything that comes in it's path - even after it disappears.

san-d-2000 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 There's also a bug that you can jump out of the screen, first screen level 2. And there's an invisible elevator second screen level 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - never knew about these... I'd like to see those in action Also, I stand corrected about it only being Crazy Kong. I did some research, and apparently an *early* version of DK had the same bug about jumping off the first girder and through the floor. It was fixed right away, though. Don't know how many made it out there. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how many made it out there. Bob Thanks to MAME, cheats, and no fear of losing 25 cents, I found that Mario can jump through the floor on ANY level. However, if he doesn't go through the bottom level, he just dies when he hits the floor below him. I also found that trick works in Crazy Kong, by jumping off of the Oil Can. Mario can jump onto the oil can, as long as he is not too close to center. If standing in the right place, jumping to the left will allow Mario to bounce off of the wall just right and fall through the floor. Yes this does work on an older version of Donkey Kong. This version, funny enough, also has the same "How High Can You Try?", instead of "GET". The Colecovision version had a similar glitch. Walk to the first half ladder, go up the ladder and back down. Move Mario slightly to the right, so that the right ladder leg is centered on Mario. Jump to the right, and Mario falls through the floor. On the Original release, he would bounce all the way UP to the top level, following a slight delay. On later versions, they fixed it to just clear the level.

I would like to buy this game, but I'm not sure you get the expansion XM Hi Marco, Not sure if you understood correctly in the thread you posted in a few minutes ago prior to positng here: http://atariage.com/...50#entry2725025 XM expansions are coming, you have not been sent out yet due to health complications. No need to doubt a few minutes later if you are going to receive one after just praising in the other thread that you will receive one [Your words: "My XM will be over!"] XM are coming and this game is a must have purchase for it. Unfortunately you missed the first round of ordering. There will be another batch. Be sure to get your copy to play on your XM which you will be receiving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tep392 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 I posted another updated demo. Main change is to Mario's sprites. Both KevinMos3 and Defender_2600 did some great sprite updates but I ended up going with Defender_2600's. Thanks to both of them! I also tweaked Mario's speeds up/down ladders, which ended up being fairly complicated due to the way the code works. Jump distance was adjusted to be more arcade like. Cement container speeds were slowed down a bit to match the arcade as well. For the Japanese screen order option I modified the barrel logic so they don't go down a ladder when Mario is on it. Same as Japanese arcade machine. Last change was to clear objects when Mario completes a level or dies. There isn't a lot to do now except to add HSC support. My next, and hopefully final update will inlcude it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 FLAWLESS...The game is absolutely flawless. I cannot believe you added this too: "For the Japanese screen order option I modified the barrel logic so they don't go down a ladder when Mario is on it. Same as Japanese arcade machine." You sir, are 'Donkey Kong God'. BTW, how the hell did you stick a Donkey Kong arcade machine in the 7800? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU, PERRY! This port is perfect, and seemed impossible to reach this kind of accuracy and feel of the arcade on the 7800...It is truly spectacular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMos3 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) I posted another updated demo. Main change is to Mario's sprites. Both KevinMos3 and Defender_2600 did some great sprite updates but I ended up going with Defender_2600's. Thanks to both of them! I was away when Marco posted those so I didn't say anything, but I definitely like the work he did. He was much more thorough than I was, since I didn't touch climbing and barely touched the head. I like the new head much better. Excellent work. The only real concern I have at this point is the red used for Mario. It looks like he's using the same color as the hammer, Kong, and the dark color of the fireballs (a "2" color)... in other words, a color that is too orange/brown. I really think his red should go back to the "3" color he had originally so that it's a more true red (as red as the 7800 palette has anyway). Because most everyone is seeing this only in an emulator, I'll post some pics with the pixel aspect ratio semi-corrected. A real 7800 displays with a screen width approximately 80% the width of an emulator (same thing with the 2600). Stella lets you set the width so you can account for this, but Prosystem and EMU7800 do not; I don't know about MESS. So, here are a few pics with Mario in different positions representing approximately how it will appear on the real thing. You can really appreciate the arcade resemblance even more.

MESS aspect ratio and viewable area is accurate at default and even let's you manipulate the image however you want (Vertical/Horizontal stretching and cropping). This is another 'issue' I have with the Prosystem emulator, besides the no CRT/NTSC simulation. Prosystem's image display is too wide. Unfortunately, due to this 'new' cart/image type (The current Prosystem public release only supports it due to a lack of accurate emulation), MESS does not have support for it and the game does not run under it.
