Anyone who knows anything about Donkey Kong PK - availability, how to obtain etc?

[Anyone who knows anything about Donkey Kong PK - availability, how to obtain etc?]

Yeah, and I've already bought one from Best Electronics.  I don't have it in me to pester him for more if he only wants to sell 1 per customer.  I can respect that policy.

I thought I read where PokeyONEs cost $40 per? You're better off going with the real thing for less.

 

If you can point me to a place that has them for less, I'm all for it.  But I've seen them go for that on ebay.

I've been thinking about getting a PokeyOne for this game, myself.

 

Ever since I saw a video that featured Pokey sounds for this game, my original 7800 Donkey Kong sounds just make me cringe.

For what it's worth, I'll buy any new doohickey for the Atari 7800.  👍 👾

[PokeyONE]

Is there a way to have the PokeyOne play the left channel, and then mix the recordings of both PokeyOne left and right channel output to a 100% PokeyOne rendition? 

(Not that I think I'm gonna hear much difference personally, but it would be cool to hear tunes that are 100% PokeyOne.)

[PokeyONE]

well, if there is a PokeyOne in there somewhere, I'm sold.  Both tracks sounded great to me.  I'd be very happy with either. 

[PokeyONE]

Is $40 really that outrageous anymore?

I'm seeing real Pokeys go for that on eBay now. 

The only place at all I know where to get them for less is Best Electronics.  I've gotten one from there myself.  But he lists it as "1 per customer." 

Is that one per customer ever? Or just one per order?  I don't know. 

All I know is.... I do want to get more Pokey-enabled 7800 games.  And if the PokeyOne works in them, and it is too difficult to find real Pokeys anymore... then that's the route I'll probably end up taking to get those games. 

 

If anyone knows of a better way of getting Pokeys, let me know.   I don't think spending a summer traveling around flea markets looking for Ballblazers is a good alternative.  *shrug*

Received my POKEY from Best Electronics today.  I sent an email on Sept. 10th and received the chip today, Sept.13th.😊  

 

 

I've gotten one from there before too.  I've always been very happy with Bradley's service.

I just confirmed that Donkey Kong PK works with PokeyONE.

 

Out of curiosity, is there any noticeable difference in sound between the Pokey One and a genuine Pokey?

Pac-Man Collection, which is my TOP favorite homebrew. I love playing Pac-Man triology - Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man mostly.

Recently, I played this 7800 homebrew on my real console and recorded my gameplay footage via camera, like this:

 

That was a lot of fun to watch!  

I love my Pac-Man Collection too, but I haven't played it much on Fast mode.  I'm gonna have to try that more!

[7800 XM update]

I'm only just learning about the XM module (and it's long road to creation) , but I'm very much interested in it. 

I don't see a lot of recent postings regarding it's status though, are they still coming out?

[Stranger Things...]

All I know is, if a Stranger Things pokey 7800 cartridge is coming - sign me up for one. 

[Pac Man Collection]

I've been playing it a lot as of late.  I love it!

My first college roommate is coming over to visit next month. 

We must resume our fierce Ms. Pac-Man championship competition where we left off back in 1998...

Probably not anytime soon, though we SHOULD get them eventually.  We have another 12-15 amplifiers to sell before we will be ready to buy another batch of the cases that yield the Supreme panels.

Thanks for the update!

I'll keep my eyes out until the time comes, then.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. We take it serious and do our best.

 

The area where we need improvement is faster turnaround. Edladdin work tends to queue up and be knocked out in batches in between traveling and building of products for our sound therapy equipment company and the third party clients we serve. I feel bad about it, but it can sometimes take a while to get everyone caught back up, which sucks if you're the guy that ordered the day I left town for two weeks. Thankfully the retro community is used to long lead times and has been very patient all along, so we are grateful for that. But its an area where we are actively working to streamline our fulfillment cycle.

 

Best rgds,

Do you know if you will have the Supreme 78 All-Play 4/8 in stock anytime soon? 

My old college roommate is coming to visit in September, and I'd love to have one of those for Ms. Pac-Man.  Our dorm used to have a dry-erase board with our high scores in the old days, it would be great to resume the competition all these years later.
