Andromeda Stardust Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Honestly, I am torn between both versions of DK. DK VCS has better audio and more cutscenes; DK Arcade has more accurate levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Um, I don't know what I did, but somehow I think the ROM glitched it up. After I died, I swiped my finger across the numbers at the top of the keyboard starting with 1. .... The backspace key on that row in Stella will, "Emulate 'frying' effect" which is what appears to have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xybot67 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Honestly, I am torn between both versions of DK. DK VCS has better audio and more cutscenes; DK Arcade has more accurate levels. Why be torn? Just buy both like I am planning on doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I want a custom double ender with both DK versions! Can a anyone build me a double ender with 32k ROMs? Assuming both games get finished, I'd be willing to pay top dollar for a one-off of both games! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming both games get finished, I'd be willing to pay top dollar for a one-off of both games! Our DK Arcade 2600 requires a Harmony or a Melody circuit board. The other one can be put on a 32K board with a Superchip RAM, or a Harmony or Melody because Harmony & Melody run Superchip games. So a double ender can be made. If you get one made I require pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just played this... very cool, and very challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TrekMD Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 A double ender cart would definitely be an awesome way to release the two homebrew DK games for the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nopaybob Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Game rom isn't working on my emulator or Harmony. Maybe try downloading again , I just got the harmony and both of these fired right up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I did, just getting a bunch of color bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It uses DPC+, so you'll need a recent version of stella. Same thing with the Harmony firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I did, just getting a bunch of color bars. Toggle the power switch rapidly with no cart in the bay and it will do the same thing. Dirty connector pins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevEng Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It could be, depending on when you purchased it. Harmony came out months after DPC+ was released, and there were a few more firmware updates since then. You can get the latest Harmony software from this thread.

Greg2600 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yep, was on 1.04, now 1.05 and it works. Thanks! Man this game is hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yep, was on 1.04, now 1.05 and it works. Thanks! Man this game is hard. I'm glad you can now enjoy it Is it hard in a good way (challenging), or a bad way (frustrating)? Should it build to the difficulty it is now, or should higher levels be even harder? (I like screaming at the game when I am 1 scan line away from the top of Level 2 or Level 3 and I get killed!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It's a bit too frustrating I'd say. I'm no Billy Mitchell, but it's a lot more difficult than even the arcade. The barrels are a bit too aggressive, although I can trick those. The pie level is impossible. The pies are very fast. I always like the difficult progression from the Coleco DK 2600, albeit with only 2 levels. Just my 2 cents, but I would prefer progression, as I can barely get past level 2.

We'll adjust the difficulty in the final release. For now, do as in the video and go up the ladder to the right of where Mario starts, and wait for the 2nd pie to pass. Then get on the conveyor belt and move over to the right side - you'll usually only have to outsmart one fireball then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 May go with this boot screen. Still batari Basic...Non-animated screen, but this screen plays that tune of Kong climbing.(The bytes disappear quite fast! However I just discovered another optimize technique to free more bytes.)Discuss, please! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are dead and living a pre-Heaven world of our own creation. These Donkey Kong games wouldn't really work on a real Atari 2600 back on earth. We're just imagining that they do. You'll understand after we all go into the light. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorTat-G Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Looks awesome so far! However, I do think climbing ladders should be a bit faster to match the original arcade version's speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
