OK, before all the know-it-alls pipe up with "but you can just buy the kit", yes, we know that.

Anyways, my buddy Jason Souza has written a freeplay hack for Donkey Kong. He doesn't have a KLOV account, or he'd have posted this himself. It's a two-ROM swap, and he's giving it away, like all his other hacks. Right now he's looking for "beta" testers, so if you have a DK and would like to try out his freeplay ROMs, email him at:
[email protected]

If people like it, he'll also do DK Jr. as, I guess, it's not much different.

You might also want to just drop him a line to say thanks for working on this stuff... he doesn't get anything out of it aside from the intellectual pursuit and occasional gratitude.

Regards,
Rob
 
I am in. Good to see an old RGVAC'er on my screen again.
 
If I didn't already have the Braze HS kits installed I'd volunteer. Tell your friend thanks for this - that's awesome.
 
Let me know how this works out. My DK is in limbo.

side note - If Vic is on these forums see if you can light a fire under Timmy.
 
I got a reply from Jason but it was blank with nothing attached. Does that mean I was rejected from the Beta?? :D

If it's just a ROM file, I'll need someone to burn them for me as well.
 
Will these ever be available for purchase in physical form?

I'm pretty sure that if you give the guy at hobbyroms.com the link to that download page, he will sell you any of the ROMs burned that you need.

Edit:Beat to the punch again...
 
It has been out there for a while and no one posted or sent me any bugs so I am not making any more changes at this time. People should play it in mame as I suggested and if it works for you then burn the roms or have them burned by hobbyroms.
 
Are the Rom location addresses the same for a a 4-board, as they are for the 2-board DK pcb?

I am not sure, these are for the 2 board set... I think c_5at_g.bin = 5K and c_5et_g.bin = 5F
