DKC Atlas Forum

These three auctions were the only ones available on eBay.. no German ones, though.

Anyone here have any German friends who might have a chance to snoop around old Video Game stores and check for it?

I don't really know.. maybe it's just human nature to think that if some beta element would've been in the game, it'd be better..
Can't really contribute.

Yeah, I used the map viewer and kept using Alt+Print Screen. I also hacked the level starting points in the ROM to be able to get to those inaccessible places (like lots of solid space). Maybe the header format is the same for DKL2..? I can't relative search, but you should give DKL2 a go and searc...

I dunno if this qualifies, but I've got some creepypasta written down from some months ago. All of the stories below written by Anonymous. I’ve always had a terrible fear of being submerged completely in water. Not that I can’t swim or anything. My dad made me learn; he said I almost drowned when I ...

Sounds great! Also, about the castle gfx; maybe it's just a rare coincidence where raw graphics are a better choice than compressed? Sounds far-fetched, but I've seen it a few times before. Metroid Zero Mission's title screen is compressed with LZ77 and the compressed file is actually bigger than th...

That's.. pretty stupid.

Here in Finland there is no rule nor regulation that one should stay out of school regardless of snow level or temperature.
Currsee you Americaaaa :fistshake:

Heh, just kidding. Awesome job though.

I dunno, it looks pretty clear and conceivable to me.
Maybe hover-on display tags that help you know what's going on?

You do realize there's a free, cross-platform alternative to Office?

Do you have a specific reason why?

Gloomy Gulch. Scared me a lot when younger. Also, Kreepy Krow.

I doubt this discovery is worth a new thread.. Maybe we can discuss this further in this topic?
Nice find, though!

Superb! Absolutely smashing!
Your awesomeness is getting typical so I'm running out of compliments.
But yeah, you know, good job as usual

That is huge. What's with the unreachable area on the top right? Bonus level?

Oh, right, bit 0. Good call. Fixed now! EDIT: Also, notice how header bytes 2 and 3 are always the same.. Guess they're connected too somehow. EDIT: The last two unknown bytes could be the point of death in a pit! I changed it to FF FF in Footloose Falls and upon falling to a pit, I never really die...

First of all, the spark that lit up this fuse for DKL3 ROM hacking was none other than our very own Blaziken257 , whose noble hacking effort bore fruit and eventually grew into a small document consisting of the Header format of Donkey Kong Land III. He has also made a Colorization hack and document...

This is quite an outstanding discovery! I'm sure there are other hidden gems there somewhere..! Seriously, this stuff is amazing..! EDIT: Oh yes, the running TNT Knocka is there, too! There was some speculation of its existence in the game, and there we have it. DOUBLE EDIT: What kind of a code is t...

I'm a Mac user, been one for my whole life.
I'm running a white 2GHz MacBook primarily.

4chan alright.
I'm not very sure how people consider it non-funny. People have different humor values and in my opinion, it is amazing that someone dares to write such nonsense on a school paper.

Yeah, it is inevitable. But I wouldn't be crying over a loss of one life when you've got over a 100 in reserve

It's pretty cool, thought I prefer jumping on the Krushas, if you get what I mean

Get a job.

It's pretty cool.

I just ignore the nay-sayers. ;) There are nay-sayers about this project?? :D But seriously man, you've done an awesome job. You are arguably the best reverse engineer I have ever met. On a related note, those physical layers below the three bananas are walkable, but also jump-through from below. I...

That's really cool..! Sprite placement system has already been figured out, too, so theoretically all that remains is figuring out how the sprites themselves are built.
Unless you're willing to use ripped sprites.

Congrats.

I am stunned. Very awesome work..!
You better document this well, though. I can't run DKCRE just now but would love screw around. :>

Superb! Waiting eagerly for results.

Your emulator must be flawed.

Some dude on 2ch already got it.
Big image right there

Looks very dull. You should give it a bit more contrast.

Mitä mieltä olette DKC-atlasista?
:>

Oh, alright. Sorry about that, just wanted to make that clear. After all, there might be differences in the 'VC ROMs', so checking them out would make sense. I know Super Mario RPG's VC version was modified a bit.

Not really, no. I'd love to create a graffiti of the classic Donkey Kong scene to the nearby train station's tiled wall.

WiiWare titles and Virtual Console ROM Images are .WAD files. You decrypt them with WADTool and eventually get yourself chunks of files, often named DKC NTSC 000.des or something like that, often ranging from 000 to 007. The biggest of these .des files is the ROM, compressed. Use U8 Tools to decompr...

Tough luck, as downloading commercial ROMs legally is impossible.

I can almost guarantee you that the lower 'glitched' font is the same font, but loaded in the 4bpp format.
If you get a chance, whether was it in Tile Molester, YY-CHR, or whatever tile editing tool, try setting the format to 2bpp. It will be the answer to your problem.

Unless it's a part of DK's intentional lack of brains, he's going to his right, not his left.

I play them just for the same reason I play any game: entertainment.

This stuff's great.
Every track is awesome.

words Oh, I see now. Thanks for clearing that up. :) Still, I'm expecting lots of documents.. Dunno if you worded that badly or something, but surely you don't mean.. If someone needs to know something, I might give details such as specific ROM data and how to read/load it .. right? That makes it s...

It is also available for Mac OS X and Linux.

No, I won't be releasing source code. If someone needs to know something, I might give details (such as specific ROM data and how to read/load it), but this isn't going to be an open-source project. what Do you have a specific reason why you wish to keep this project closed? Not only are you smushi...

.. what did you expect, then..?

Either way, great job. Could be a bit darker but still a good job.

I dunno how you managed to screw up that bad, but hear my word, PNG is the best format you will even use for sprite comics.

I had a real good time. The mask scared surprisingly many people.

Heart? Broken?
Naw, haven't really felt that way.

There are no Halloween traditions here in Finland, but I am going to a 'halloween' party this one dude's having.
I'll be wearing a Tom Cruise mask.

Free, easy to fold, and best of all; scary!
