And if so, what is the procedure after making the killscreen in regards to getting all the info needed for verification?

@OST - Even a crappy laptop or PC should be enough to run the MAME version of DK, which IS accepted here.  You can even use your 8bitdo stick! Those things rock by the way!  Just make sure that if you go the MAME & PC route, you read the rules for the submissions!

Looking forward to seeing you crush some DK, and get on Twitch and added to the streamers list.  It's awesome watching people's progression!

I think switch scores should be listed maybe in there own score board... I know there is a score board on the switch.  Would make things more interesting .

Hi everyone,

One of our friends in Japan has relayed information from an acquaintance at HAMSTER, the developer for Donkey Kong on the Nintendo Switch.


--- Quote ---All arcade archives titles developed by HAMSTER are working with custom emulation originally developed in-house. So it's not a MAME derivative or using core or anything like that.

The details of the program are also confidential matters for development, so we apologize that we cannot share much information.

HAMSTER and HAMSTERs President are happy to see Arcade Archives Donkey Kong being discussed on Donkey Kong Forum.

He also said that he would be honored if the Arcade Archives score was recognized by the forum and its members.

If you have any questions, we will do our best to provide as much information as possible.

Actually when I started playing DK I did it on my crappy laptop using MAME, but someting about it wasn't right. I constantly had a feeling that the game was runnning at a slower speed than the DK machine/cabinet at my local Arcade. Then a friend of mine showed me DK on his Nintendo Switch, and also there the game was faster than what I was used to when playing on MAME. So i bought a Switch and now the game runs perfectly. I don't know what's wrong with my laptop but getting the game to run as it should using MAME seems impossible to me.

I've been doing some good progress lately and now my PB is 770.000 which encouraged me to buy an Elgato HD60s+ capture card and start recording my games.

I think the main issue is we don't know exactly what's going on under the hood. It seems like most players feel the emulation is accurate, but I think a more objective approach would be needed. And, of course, the joystick/evidence requirements would need some serious hashing out. But don't be discouraged. We don't accept them now, but there's no reason to not have a good conversation about it.

Thanks for the answer. I'll keep playing and recording games if in case you one day should accept them.
