RangerG Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I loaded the Super Donkey Kong rom onto my Atarimax flashcart. The game plays, but then stops after the first screen. This happened with 2 different roms. I know this was an Adam game, but I thought it worked on the CV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Super Donkey Kong is not Super DK. The romfile you have is for Adam-only. Super Donkey Kong for ColecoVision is a hacked version of the enhanced game made for Coleco's Adam computer. Because of what was likely a means of cost-cutting by Coleco, the version of Donkey Kong they "gave away" with the system was scaled down to fit in about half as much memory as the ColecoVision can handle. When they did the Adam computer version of the game, they pulled out all the stops and made is much truer to the arcade. A few years back I discovered an in-house version of Donkey Kong and I titled it Super DK. This version uses all of the available memory space on the ColecoVision and while some minor bugs had to be worked out, I was able to get it to run on a stand-alone ColecoVision system. http://www.digitpress.com/reviews/superdonkeykong.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Thanks Nukey. So - is there a Super DK rom that plays on the CV that is freely available? Super DK Junior works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 AFAIK, the romfile is not public...since it's (still?) being sold in cartridge form. I thought that it was posted before, but now I can't locate the thread. Al? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Is this the same Super DK wherein the conveyor belt/pie factory board has no collision detection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corby Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Is this the same Super DK wherein the conveyor belt/pie factory board has no collision detection?

The problem with Super DK is the length of time between screens. Then you have the non-functioning level and all-in-all you're like "big whoop." I'll keep the cart as a collector item.
