DKC Atlas Forum

I fail to see the point of updating the first post constantly, as it is quickly becoming impossible to tell when stuff has been said, etc. The point of a bulletin board is to post new information, preferably in its own post. Also, I challenge you to do something with an expanded DKC rom, to prove th...

A common issue with older LCD displays, and apparently very common with Game Gears. -Repair Guide

Certain things just deteriorate with age and some consoles are notorious for developing faults, i.e NES, XBox 360, etc.

Did you download the source code instead of one of the compiled binaries? That's the only thing I can think of. Best just to get MameUI instead.

MAME iz difficult... :shock: As far as I'm aware, the official MAME stuff just has a very minimal GUI, so I'd recommend something along the lines of MameUI , which is one of the better known frontends for MAME. I forget why, but I think I use mameplus , which is just as pretty. Tutorial: 1. Downloa...

Most of this is stuff you didn't ask for, but I've scanned it all anyway... Manuals: Donkey Kong (GB) Donkey Kong Land Donkey Kong Country (GBC) I've also included scans of each cartridge, and the DKC (GBC) box.

something In the example I gave I imagined that the parents and the children would be genetically identical (perhaps people isn't the best example, maybe single celled organisms?). It's my opinion that in such a scenario, perhaps a hundred, or a thousand or however many generations down the line, t...

If you have variation, differential reproduction, and heredity, you will have evolution by natural selection as an outcome. I completely agree, but my point was that there are two different things to begin with in these examples. Surely these beetles or moths or whatever else share a common ancesto...

I did, of course, manage to find the relevant strings for DKC2 and DKC3: 99 00 8D 6D 09 D8 9C 6B 09 A9 01 00 22 4E C6 BE 80 2C 2C 6F 09 30 06 A9 3C 00 8D 6F 09 B0 0C A5 2A 29 03 00 D0 18 A9 99 99 80 0B AD 6B 09 C9 99 00 - U&J 1.0 99 00 8D 6D 09 D8 9C 6B 09 A9 01 00 22 59 C6 BE 80 2C 2C 6F 09 30 ...

Before the industrial revolution, a certain species of moth was white as well as the trees it lived on. After the industrial revolution, the trees turned dark, as did the moth. 'Tis not what I'd consider to be Evolution, but natural selection. This example might make it clear why there is a higher ...

The "banana counter", is the counter at the top left of the screen which tells you the amount of bananas you have. By default, once you exceed 99 bananas, the counter resets to 0. This is an explanation of how the counter works (or how it seems to work), and how to alter the values it uses...

It is possible to reach the end of the level when it becomes night, and return to get Rambi-

Because when you die from falling off a cliff or something, you can use the balloon to fly back to the beginning of the level, or if you die from getting hit, you can use the helium inside the balloon as a temporary painkiller, which lasts long enough to get you back to the start of the level. Why a...

Yes, you're absolutely right. I would never have realized.

I can sort of see your point, but I've always viewed the main site and the forum as two entirely separate things. I always get the feeling that no-one has as much contempt for this forum than you, so please, try to stop criticizing at every opportunity. The main site is fine, but apart from a few oc...

I'm curious about the favicon the site uses. If you look close it looks like a butterfly. So, I'm wondering if there's some fascinating story behind it, or what?

I've noticed less and less people are going on here regularly. It looks like this website is slowly but surely losing all of it's popularity. Wrong. Quality over quantity, any day. Most of the people who frequent this place are friendly and dedicated, so I'd say there is a great balance of people a...

God only knows how many scratches are on his copy. You'd be taking the same chance by buying it used. Back in the PS1 days, I bought almost all of my games used, because I had practically no money. Most worked perfectly, even with a few scratches, but there were a few that had a lot of problems. I ...

That's understandable. I haven't played the PS2 incarnations, but Spyro 3 for the PS1 is one of my favourite games ever. Remember the PS2 is backwards compatible so there are plenty options that way. The Final Fantasy series of games is very highly regarded, so you might consider some of them. If yo...

It shouldn't be anything to do with the processor or the clock speed, unless you've got an older processor that doesn't support MMX. It's probably something entirely different that you're missing, software-wise. Go here (link) , to get a small program called CPU-Z. Run it, and it'll tell you the mod...

I've been playing around with this for a few hours and I haven't got any results. The key differences so far are the different layouts for several levels. Some are partially different, some are the same, and some look half missing. It seems to vary a bit, but sometimes the objects seem almost identi...

Minor hack of Super Donkey Kong 3 (V1.0) (J). Available as an ips or ups patch. SDK3-ips-ups.zip --Insert description below-- Well, it's a glitch caused by hacking, sort of.. Certain objects seem to cause this to happen, although the same objects have a habit of crashing the game or the emulator. Ho...

Thanks for those kind words.

Well, by pure coincidence, I did just happen to see the topic for your translation.

The only drawback is that it seemed a little bit, non-existent, which turned out to be a bit of a problem...

Hmm, well I've had this for quite a while, so here it is... This is an English translation of the SDK3 Editor, by Kingizor. Available from Mediafire, as a zip or rar .

Feedback: In the drop-down menu, you can't scroll with the mouse's scroll wheel, or if you hold down the up or down keys. Are you going to implement something like this at some point? When I right click on the program in the taskbar, I don't get a menu or anything. And I think it's taking something ...

Alright, here is most of what you asked for:

All of the maps in DKC2 and 3, including Krematoa and the Lost World.
Funky's Garage (DKC 1, 2 and 3)
The Banana Hoard
A Banana Bird cave
Swanky's Bonus (DKC2)
Klubba's Kiosk
Wrinkly's Save Cave
Bazaar's General store

Mediafire

Yeah, don't compress the audio. You would need a special, impossible to find build of Lame that does it right.

Just don't select the "compress audio" option. You can always recompress it later with another program if you need to.

All you need to do is put MEncoder.exe in your zsnes folder.

I think it comes with the Mplayer program, but here's my copy. - Mediafire

I'm not sure whether you need the correct video codec(s) installed to use it.

Yes, the above post qualifies as the stupidest ever to have been posted...

Should my handwriting be Bold, italic, or underlined?

I sort of agree about the name thing, but I think we're just being picky. I mean, DKC un, deux et trois are set in their time, an important part of our past. Calling the new game DKC Returns , might annoy a few, and quite rightly so, because it would seem that someone is trying to revamp the series....

I've always preferred my SNES. If anyone were to ask me which I preferred it would always be the SNES. I've always felt the SNES experience lasts longer, perhaps because quite a lot of snes games featured saves, especially for some of the more epic titles.

Rom size is 4,194,816 bytes.

Is there an easy way to fix this?

I don't know why, but I seem to get the exact same problem, and I'm sure I haven't done anything wrong. I don't have DKCRE 0.0.60, but I've verified the rom I'm using with NRST, and it gave me this: (V1.0)(U)(!) - before CRC32 - C946DCA0 MD5 - 30C5F292FF4CBBFCC00FD8FA96C2DE3B (Patched) - after CRC32...

Probably a regional change. Nothing's different on google uk, yet.

Google usually try something out in one place first before forcing it on to the rest of the world.

Here's an article about it with pictures. link

Quite tricky for me to pick one because I love the entire game so much, but then again - Floodlit Fish. It's just far too long and dark and dull. It seems worse because it's surrounded by pretty interesting levels like Pot Hole Panic and Kong-Fused Cliffs.

The problem with water levels was that you couldn't do anything but swim carefully to avoid enemies you can't defeat, unless you had Enguarde. This is probably the reason the underwater levels seemed slower (notice Mario games have had the same drawback). However it does add another style of gamepla...

I pretty much agree with all that, I suppose my point is, well, these are different times now, different developer and ultimately a different game, I'm just interested to see how it turns out. I couldn't help being just a tad annoyed by how much was introduced in DK64, but at the same time I'm very ...

I'll start by saying I feel like the only person here that is not going to purchase this game any time within the next 10 or 15 years. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to its release and the reactions across the community. I personally cannot think of this game as a sequel to the DKC trilogy that ...

Uh, is this okay?

DK has pet insurance in case anything ever happens to Diddy.


Where do DK's animal buddies disappear to when they finish a level?

When he's giving Cranky a haircut.


Why does K.Rool hover with a sort of jetpack/helicopter thing in DKC3?

I dislike Kaos Kore slightly more than Razor Ridge..
