Crazy Kong Part II 2023 Revision for MAME

(1/2) > >>

Sock Master:
I thought it'd be fun to post MAME ROMs for my updated version of Crazy Kong Part II.

It's not actually supported in MAME or HBMAME yet but if you put the ckongpt2a.zip file into MAME's roms folder it will take the place of one of the existing variants of Crazy Kong (ckongpt2a) and you can run it (you'll also need the parent rom ckongpt2.zip) ...if you use the command line version of MAME anyway.  example type "mame64 ckongpt2a" in the command window:

C:\games\mame>mame64 ckongpt2a

For anyone interested,
Crazy Kong Part II 2023 Revision is an updated version of Crazy Kong Part II.  It plays exactly the same as before but this version fixes all kinds of graphical bugs and glitches from the game, re-introduces many of the animations that Crazy Kong is missing from Donkey Kong and even adds hammer music.
But the gameplay is the same, including all the tricks that you can do in Crazy Kong like the floor skip, hammer drop and avoiding barrels when you're at the top of the ladders.

Here is a video comparing the two versions side by side:

The long answer?  The original version of Crazy Kong was a hack job and they wanted to get it done as fast as possible.  The available colors are hard coded in the color proms and even if you change the program code, you can only select from the limited sets of colors that are in the color proms.
The first version of Crazy Kong simply used Crazy Climber's color proms.  So the choice of colors was limited and not very close to Donkey Kong.
After that, it looks like several different sets of hackers/pirates all took turns at improving the game a bit and by the time of Crazy Kong Part II someone had tweaked the color proms to be a little better so it's a bit improved, but still kind of based on Crazy Climber.
With more time and effort the game could be made to look even closer to Donkey Kong - colors, graphics and animations.
