DKC Atlas Forum

Yeah, every level does seem to start at 20 00. That translates to 0x0020 in raw hexadecimal, or 32 in decimal, so it seems you can't go 32 pixels to the left of the stage. You seem to have confused the endianness when editing the value, as you're increasing the X position by a multiple of 256 if you...

What were the values of FFA8 and FFA9 before you changed them, and what were they after?

I did find RAM addresses that control the camera's X and Y positions in DKL, but unfortunately, they're in the FFxx range in RAM, so there's no GameShark code that I know of, since GameShark codes, as far as I know, can only access A000-DFFF in RAM. However, it's still possible to edit any RAM addre...

I suppose it would help if I used bgb's disassembler to try to find something...

There's also RecordMyDesktop if you have Linux, if you don't mind it being output in the .ogv format.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this many replies! I didn't realize this song would be popular. One thing that make this song hard to discover is that certain songs, like the Boss Bossanova one, will only play in certain screens, like boss stages, bonus stages, the Klubba screen, etc. Other examples are Tok...

I've actually tried to look into this about a half a year ago, with some success. Since the levels are compressed in ROM, it's almost impossible to figure out the algorithm without assembly knowledge, and naturally, using a disassembler. bgb has a great disassembler/debugger, although I don't know i...

No, you're not dreaming. No, I'm not making this up. While some people know about unused music in DKL as well as DKL3, there is also unused music in DKL2! Yeah, I don't think anybody has known about this... until now. It's the Boss Bossanova theme in 8-bit, and you can hear it here: http://tcrf.net/...

One problem with editing Koco's palette is that the entire game uses a whopping eight sprite palettes that never change. So, changing Koco's palette is going to change loads of other sprites too. That problem also affects Dixie's and Kiddy's sprites, too, unfortunately. The only real way around this...

A few notes: - While the Kremkoin cheat in DKL2 will let you get into the Lost World, they still don't count towards your game percentage -- you still have to collect the Kremkoins if you want 100%. - The level unlock cheat in DKL3 won't get you the Bonus Coins, DK Coins, or Watches. Since you need ...

It involves editing pointers. Basically, pointers are integers that store the address of data, like the first letter in a string. Typically, there is a table of pointers either before or after the data; in DKC's case, it's before. Perhaps it will make more sense if I do an example. The string "...

Now that the 3DS has been out for more than a year now in the entire world... I'm curious to how opinions from different people have changed. As for myself... I'm still not convinced that I should get this thing. Yeah, there was a large price drop, and a few games... but it isn't enough to make me w...

I just tried this for the first time, it's nice. Must have been a lot of work with the ASM hacking (which I'm not very good at, and I've never even attempted it for SNES) -- it looks like it could have been an official game! I'm also looking forward to the DKC2 and DKC3 versions, although they will ...

I apologize if there is already a thread about this, but I couldn't find any. Anyway, I noticed that from the box on top of the page, there is some link that has a few DKC renders. While this is awesome, there are many more from the series in general, which I have. There used to be a page on DK Vine...

Breaking news! The Diddy Kong Pilot 2001 Alpha ROM has been released! Jump to release discussion Get the 2001 alpha here! Pre-release discussion follows: Many people who have played Banjo Pilot probably know that it was originally going to be Diddy Kong Pilot before Microsoft bought Rare and change...

¡Feliz cumpleaños, Kiddy14!

This is the most interesting YouTube channel that I've seen in a while. It has a lot of... rather interesting unique beta material from various Rare games, particularly Banjo ones. Check it out.

I'm actually kind of annoyed to hear rumors of a new system coming out. I guess it's not much of a surprise, since consoles generally last about 5 or so years, but every time some new system gets announced, I never look forward to the idea of having to shell out hundreds of dollars just to be able t...

Yeah, I'm not surprised really... although that implies that you've seen Nintendo screw up PC code in the past. Where you have seen that? I'm curious... But in any case, it works for me now. It worked for some people but not for others, and there were thousands (I'm not exaggerating) of complaints f...

So, as anybody who plays Pokémon Black or White knows, the Pokémon Dream World has finally opened after a long delay. I would love that, but it doesn't even work properly. Just look:

http://i53.tinypic.com/14brki.png

5 minutes =/= 24+ hours.

Yeah, I usually get my games at a Best Buy that's close to where I live. There's a GameStop nearby too, but not as near. Speaking of which, here's a game that I bought at Best Buy yesterday (a game that I was very excited about since last April): http://oi54.tinypic.com/15rebno.jpg I was even given ...

Wow, I can't believe that people are still arguing about this game. Sure, it doesn't have too many familiar characters, but the gameplay is solid. That more than makes up for it. For one thing, I like how the game is difficult and has a lot to do (like Time Attack or a certain unlockable feature). A...

So, I'm guessing that most of you have heard of the 3DS... it's the successor to the DS, with true 3D effects and has some DSi features like a camera. If you don't know what it is, then look it up on the Internets. Now, I'll introduce this topic in ways that most people don't... am I the only person...

Wow I've been so busy that I haven't been on this site in like 3 weeks... and of course I've been stressed partly because of that (although I've been feeling better lately). So... what did I miss? Anything?

So, I discovered this randomly from some other forum... when DKCR was released in Australia, someone from Nintendo set up a real life banana hoard! Here's a picture of it: http://www.wiinintendo.net/2010/12/02/donkey-kongs-sydney-banana-pile/ That's kinda funny to see... if I were to see a real bana...

Well, after playing this a lot, I have to say that I'm glad that I bought this. I got to every level in the game, and I have to say that it's addicting and that I really enjoy it. I unfortunately haven't had much free time in the past week, but whatever free time I did have, I spent playing this gam...

I got this game a couple of hours ago... and... it's great! I'm only on the second world, and it's already... hard. Tidal Terror is hard because there are giant waves that come crashing down on you, and you only have these tiny barriers (some of which get destroyed from the waves) to defend you. And...

I have a really hard time deciding this one, because they're all good in different ways. A lot of people like DKL for being the most original. After all, a lot of the levels have new gimmicks -- one level has you collect Kong letters as platforms, another has a giant shellfish chasing you, another h...

Great, thanks!

Yeah... I did post about that here, and the good news is that it's being worked on.

If you want to go to the Control Panel at least, you can click here.

That's a confusing and tedious workaround (not many people are going to think of doing that). But as long as it's going to get fixed then I'm OK with it.

Yeah... I just noticed today that the bar on the top of the page is missing. You know, the one with the control panel/private messages/log out/etc. links. It seems to be because of that Twitter thing (and I don't really understand why that's there in the first place -- I wasn't even aware that anybo...

OK, I see why it lags. Hopefully it will get better sooner rather than later... And I'll upload the various DKL3 images that I had uploaded on SMW, and I'll be sure to credit the site. Now for the main reason why I'm posting: Here's something that's bugged me ever since I've been to SMW. It's the le...

Cool, so it is going to be on NIWA! So anyway, I did make a few minor contributions (all of which have to do with the DKL series in some way, considering I know a lot about it given that I played them before any of the DKC games). I also made a very barebones userpage :P I wonder if it's OK for me t...

Are you guys joining the NIWA? That would be a really great idea, don't let them tell you it overlaps the Mario Wiki because it is a fullsized wiki on it's own. Yeah, I agree, that would be a good idea... NIWA keeps growing! Also, while Super Mario Wiki has a lot of information about Donkey Kong, I...

Yeah... nobody in my family was into the Halloween spirit at all this year, we didn't celebrate it at all... I used to like it more when I was younger, but I don't really enjoy it much anymore. I don't know why. Anyway, Kiddy14, how did I know that you were going to mention El Día de los Muertos her...

The first main series one, too...

Hey, can you do me a favor and look into my observations (from a few posts up) too? I posted that more than a year ago, but I don't think that you've seen it yet... thanks!

I'd rather not say much about this because I don't really want to start a flame war, except to say that I mostly agree with you... OK, now for the main reason why I'm posting: I just saw a second trailer when I looked at the Nintendo Channel on my Wii (yes, I didn't notice it until now, I don't want...

OK... here are my two cents on this. Before I say anything else, I will admit that I do not know much about this game, and that I haven't paid much attention to it except for a trailer and some really basic information about it. That's because I want to be pleasantly surprised by the game when it fi...

Yeah... I heard about them being trapped a while ago, but I don't remember where I heard about that. It's sad that they were trapped in there for months -- how were they able to eat or drink anything?! I hate to imagine anybody in that type of situation... but at least they're getting rescued. I rea...

So, if you've played DK64 before, chances are that you've heard of the rap at the beginning. And it seems that everybody who's played it likes to make fun of it. It's common to hear people say things like it being the worst rap ever, or it being the butt of jokes. Well, guess what? It was supposed t...

Yeah... As much as I liked DK64, I don't really want it on the 3DS. Mainly because Rare is nowhere near as good as it used to be -- if they made one, they would just butcher it like they heavily butchered the DKC games on GBA -- they'll downgrade the graphics, add more glitches (which won't be a goo...

Well, of course Retro isn't exactly going to be like Rare, and like you said, no company can completely imitate another; it has different people so it will have a slightly different vibe to it. But just because it's not exactly the same doesn't mean that it won't be just as good. To me, Retro is a g...

@Kiddy14: Oh, now I see what you mean. I kinda feel stupid for not realizing that before XD @Everybody else: Well, Metroid was dead for about 8 years but Retro revived it -- and revived it well. Some people, for whatever reason, were skeptical about Metroid Prime, but I never was, and although I fou...

I hope (and have high confidence) that Retro will do well, just like they've been doing in the past. I think that DKCR is going to be good. I also like their logo, it's better than Rare's logos (except for the 1994-2003 one). Although Retro may be the new Rare (for the most part), I very much doubt ...

I noticed that Rare changed its logo earlier this year, but I never got around to mentioning it (I was too lazy then I forgot). I have to say that it's even worse than the one that originated sometime around 2004! The font that is used for the word "Rare" doesn't have a nice vibe to it, it...

¡Feliz cumpleaños, Kiddy14! Yay!

(Sorry everybody for writing that in Spanish, I just felt like doing that... XD)

I'm not too crazy on that new Rambi look, but maybe that's because I've grown up with the old one. It also looks comparable to the generally bad Nuts and Bolts artwork. At least it looks way better than any art from King of Swing. And at least he's going to be in the game. (Now I'd wish Enguarde wou...
