I searched desperately for the source/RE, didn't find it but ended up doing the RE work myself. My z80 converter was greatly improved too, which allowed to create a faster conversion. That's one of my favourite games, with Pengo.

Considering that the Amiga 1200 is from 1992, the original machine from 1980, and that the port has been made 44 years later, and based on access to the original code and graphics through MAME ROM dumps, I think it's an excellent version. But please, more original games.
@jean-francoisfabre417019 күн бұрын
Thanks for your comment. I did NOT have access to the original code, I had to do most of the RE work myself. Also, the graphics for the AGA version were reworked by Toni to have more colors. Note that ECS barely can run this as it requires dual playfield and a clever color optimization to run on 8+8 colors instead of 10+11 or something in the original. This machine isn't particularly powerful, but if you take Galaga from 1981 you'll see that the specs are amazing, and the amiga can't cope without fast memory. About making original games, I'll leave that to others.

@@jean-francoisfabre4170 Of course, I imagined it was a technical challenge to replicate the arcade on machines like an Amiga 500. With a 1200, it's relatively easier in terms of color. Thanks for the clarification.

@@MrJorgalan Yes, most of the time, it's (almost) too easy to port games to A1200 with 16+16 dual playfield, 8 sprites with separate palettes, blank border. But the aim of the ports is for real hardware people to play with, and a lot of people still have only ECS. So if I think that some game is challenging, I start by ttargetting the AGA chipset, then I see if I can create a ECS version (like Moon Patrol)

This is amazing. And believe me, I know what I’m talking about when it comes to arcade DK … interesting to see that those upper ends of DK’s ladders at the barrels board are visible. Arcade DK explicitly erases these two parts (you can shortly see them tough when the screen is drawn). Does this also have the pies board (introduced as second board at L=03)?
@jean-francoisfabre41706 ай бұрын
The new version doesn't display the upper girders at all (as erasing them with sprites is wasteful). Not sure of what you mean by "pies board"? You mean "pie factory" level. Yes, this version has it. And newer version will let you choose an alternate order of levels like in Crazy Kong

Looks great. I think it would be cool to have a port afterwards that ups the graphics ante while keeping everything else the same. MANY years ago there was a DOS based arcade emulator that did this. I still have it on an old hard disk somewhere, but I cannot remember for the life of me what it was called. It did it with like 5 different games and I'm pretty sure Donkey Kong was one of them. Or maybe adds the Donkey Kong Remix levels variation.
