*Nova Paleta de cor para o level "BOOGIE BIRD".

* Glitch correction of red zinger catching the game on level "BLUE-TAIL TROUBLE".
* Glitch correction catching game to complete the level "DEEP TYRES TROUBLE." (This glitch was happening because of the tires (tires) that had over level so to avoid it redid the concept level, now called "DEEP DANGEROUS DOORS".

Just got done the 1st world of the game and I have to say this is a very nice hack :nicework: . Its not too difficult and each level has been changed and looks unique. Even the bonus rooms were changed too. Thank you very much LucasRangel for creating/posting this hack :)

Sem dúvidas um dos melhores hacks que já joguei, sendo até digno de ser semelhante a um próprio da franquia pela originalidade dos níveis.
Existe alguns bugs e glitchs que não influenciam em praticamente nada se for jogar pela diversão.
O único problema que achei, não é crítico, mas torna chato, por exemplo, alguns níveis mesmo depois de completa-los, no mapa ainda conta como não pego os Kremcoins, e alguns só passam a ser completos com o "!" após completar outros mundos. DK coins não teve problemas.
Só tenho uma pergunta... Apenas me falta 1 Kremcoin para ir ao último nível de Lost World, mas tem 2 níveis que estão incompletos: Reptile Rise (encontrei 2 bonus) e Endless Elevator (1 bonus). Poderia me dizer se há mais algum bonus nestes níveis? Já estou a 2 dias refazendo elas e não acho.
Ah, já aproveito para dizer que estou orgulhoso que seja um brasileiro a ter iniciado este excelente projeto.

I only have one question ... I miss just 1 Kremcoin to go to the last level of Lost World, but has 2 levels that are incomplete: Reptile Rise (found 2 bonus) and Endless Elevator (1 bonus). Could you tell me if there's a bonus in these levels? I'm already two days redoing them and do not think.
Oh, I take this opportunity to say that I am proud to be a Brazilian to have started this great project.

Muito obrigado, fico muito feliz que tenha gostado. E sobre esse glitch dos kremkoins ,creio que isso é uma coisa que eu não possa mudar, a não ser que eu deixasse cada level com a sua quantidade de bonus original mas como eu estava querendo explorar a hack o máximo possível resolvir mudar alguns bonus de lugar, enfin vou fazer uma lista com a quantidade certa de bonus em cada level. E o level que esta faltando kremkoin é o Endless elevator, pois o reptile rise é o unico nível que esta sem o "!" quando completo.

Olá Lucas, tem como vc fazer o patch no formato "ips" tbm? Aí poderei postar um feedback pra vc.

Arquivos .bps não rodam de jeito nenhum no meu PC devido a um conflito com o Visual Studio. Abs.


Esquece, consegui aplicar o patch graças a um app de android. Vou jogar depois posto feedback.

Hello Lucas, how you have to patch in the format "ips" also? Then i can post a feedback pra vc.

.bps files do not run at all on my PC because of a conflict with Visual Studio. Abs.


Nevermind, I managed to patch thanks to an android app. I will play then post feedback after.

To achando foda o hack. Só achei que a dificuldade aumentou muito súbitamente do mundo 1 pro mundo 2, mas os design das fases são sensacionais. Moedas DK bem escondidas, só achei 3 até agora. To na 1ª do pântano.

Só ocorreram apenas 2 bugs críticos (tive que resetar a rom pois to tentando jogar sem savestates)

Um deles na 2ªa fase do 2º mundo, após pegar o barril de invencibilidade fiquei preso pra sempre na abelha vermelha.

Outro foi na 4ª fase do 1º mundo, onde dixie ficou parado forever na linha de chegada. De resto ta beleza.

Google Translate

To finding effing hack. I just thought that the difficulty greatly increased suddenly the world 1 2 pro world, but the design phase are sensational. Currencies well hidden DK, found only 3 so far. To the 1st of the swamp.

Only there were only two critical bugs (had to reset the rom as game as trying to play without savestates)

One in 2ªa phase of the 2nd world after picking up the invincibility barrel was stuck forever in the red bee.

Another was in the 4th stage of the 1st world where dixie stood forever at the finish line. Moreover it's beauty.

Windows (and Linux) make their programming code accessible for everyone to use. C++.

Mac doesn't always give out its programming code for fear of reverse engineering and hacking... in the wrong hands, that is. And that is a completely off-topic story.

The bps patch format requires that the file to be patched is the same as the one the patch was made for. Some patchers can ignore this rule, but it's generally not a good idea to do that unless you know what you're doing.

In this case the ROM to be patched should be the clean, unheadered v1.0 USA version of DKC2. Any deviations such as the presence of a copier header, interleaving, corruption as well as damaged or alternate versions of the ROM will trigger that error in beat.

Im am at World 4 in this game, and the dangerous doors level is glitchy as crap. I was at the end of the level, and a door somehow hit me and I died, and got a game over. Another problem is sometimes the door will just close itself back, and it forces you to sacrafice a monkey. Other than that the rom itself is the best dkc hack out there, but its just really glitchy at times.

-English-
So, there's this bonus room that I can't understand. It's on Traumatic Tunnels, on K. Rool's Keep. There's one Klobber TNT and a Kannon off-screen. The bonus says that I should "Destroy them all!", but nothing happens once I defeat these 2 enemies... did someone had the same problem? Is this a patching error?

-Português-
Então, tem esse bônus que eu não to entendendo. É na fase Traumatic Tunnels, no K. Rool's Keep. Tem um Klobber TNT e um Kannon fora da tela. O bônus diz que eu devo "destruir todos", mas nada acontece quando eu derroto esses dois... alguém teve o mesmo problema? Isso é um erro de patch?

Joguei sua rom hack até o final do primeiro mundo e devo dizer que está ótima.
O fator de explorar me fez ficar viciado, não é como um DKC2 linear, só ir reto e pouca exploração.
Fico feliz de encontrar um brasileiro que pratica hackear DKC. (Se algum dia puder me ensinar, ficaria agradecido haha)

DarkFeposo, fico muito feliz em saber que gostou, e também existem brasileiros que curtem esse tipo de trabalho. E te digo, que pode parecer complicado, mais na verdade não é, os programas que eu usei são muito intuitivos, e práticos de se usar, eu aprendi sozinho fiquei "fuçano" no programa ate descobrir tudo que ele pode fazer, e depois é só soltar a criatividade, eu realmente gostei muito disso, e quem sabe mais no futuro volto a criar outra hack.

Comecei a jogar agora essa hack. Achei muito boa, excelente e muito diferente das outras que só focam em aumentar a dificuldade, tirando às vezes a diversão e exploração como disse o cara ai. A dificuldade realmente aumenta muito no world 2, mas nada impossível, deixando "desafiador".

O único "defeito" que achei foi a fase "Blue-Tail trouble". Ela é muito chata, não se trata de dificuldade alta ou nada do tipo, só é chata mesmo.

Gostaria MUITO de ver uma "continuação" ou outra hack semelhante. Parabéns.

I beat the hack, some levels are very hard, but very well done...some bonus are impossible to beat and other are buggy (some kill them all bonus, the kremcoin not appear). well, i joined 30 Dk barrels, 75% ... and only left 2 lost world levels for play (krazy kremland and krool´s keep). By the way...where is the Dk coin in level 2 of the first world?

Try out patching it onto a "1.0 U" rom of DKC2.
Can confirm, the latest patch works with it. :)

Hi everyone. I really want to play this hack. I got some healthy, working copies of DKC2 SNES roms, but when I try to open the attachments in LucasRangel's post of this thread, this happens:
DKC2_hack_problem.PNG
DKC2_hack_problem.PNG (12.59 KiB) Viewed 218408 times


It's been years since I've patched a rom, and I've forgotten how. Can I use Lunar IPS (the tool used for SMW Central hacks)? Is ZSNES the best emulator? I can't move on to the next step until I have a working patch for a rom.

Thanks in advance.

The attached file is a RAR archive. Typically people would use 7zip or WinRar to open these to extract the files within.

The message you're getting is due to some other software running on your computer. A few minutes of Googling suggests it might be some kind of administration software, i.e. something an organization such as a school or business would put on to restrict what you can and cannot do. Avoid, if possible.

The patch itself inside the RAR file is a BPS patch which is not supported by Lunar IPS. Suitable patchers would be Beat or Floating IPS.

ZSNES is still as glorious as it ever was, but these days some flavour of bsnes or Snes9x tends to be preferred in most situations.

I chose floating IPS. However, when I tried to choose an output file,
FloatingIPS.PNG
FloatingIPS.PNG (32.93 KiB) Viewed 217032 times


I got the error:
FloatingIPSerror.PNG
FloatingIPSerror.PNG (2.6 KiB) Viewed 217032 times


Does that have anything to do with choosing a .smc file as an output file?

BPS (and UPS) patches have a checksum check to ensure that the file being patched is the correct one. The idea is that most older ROMs (i.e. smc) would be distributed with an unnecessary copier header that would interfere with patching.

So you'd want to use a ROM that does not have a copier header. Typically you'd want to use a tool such as NSRT to remove that copier header from your ROM, then try patching again.
