General Donkey Kong Discussion / Re: Searching for quality board screens

Something like this? This is a 2970x4200 pixel snapshot from MAME.

mame dkong -snapsize 2970x4200 -snapbilinear 0

Then press F12 and look in the "snap" folder in your MAME folder.

General Donkey Kong Discussion / Searching for quality board screens
« Last post by Nelson Pandela on Today at 07:03:36 am »
I'm searching for high-resolution images of the 4 different boards. My plan is to print them as A3 posters and use them for discussing tactics before or after playing. I tried looking on Google but couldn't find anything of printable quality. I also attempted to take screenshots from MAME, but they always turn out black. Has anyone else had this idea and found a solution? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot i am new here and i hope i am following all rules, cheers to the community!

Hi, everyone.

I guess I have very little experience, and am not very good. I’m not sure if I’ve ever gotten past the first stage, having played more consoles than arcades growing up, with few exceptions. I wasn’t alive in the ‘80s, but would love to get better at Donkey Kong, Jr., Mario Bros., BurgerTime, games of that era. The game from that era I’m probably best at is DigDug, having reached Level 8 2-3 weeks back. I can probably get to Level 2-3 on BurgerTime.

I work a demanding job and the arcade with a lot of these games is about a bit more than two hours away. I would love to spend a whole Saturday there the next time I have a Saturday off of work.

I’m not looking to get any high scores or set any records, just to get better and reach as many levels as I can.

Thanks, everyone.

Welcome to DKF! Don't worry about scores and world records...just play what you want to play, how you want to play! And don't be afraid to ask questions. Along with the DK games, we have some some fantastic, world-record-level Dig Dug and Mario Bros. players that hang around here too.

Cool. Thanks for the support. I just want to have fun with this - take it seriously enough to get better, but not too seriously and just have fun with it while improving at the games.

why do people continue to care about this?

I find it entertaining, but also sad how he apparently has nothing better to spend money on than lawsuits.
