Running DK Spooky Remix in Retropie
dnb642:
FWIW I was having similar problems and did get Spooky (dkongx11.zip) to run on Retropie lr-mame 2016. Since I already had DK Christmas (also dkongx11.zip) running out of the arcade folder I had to create a separate folder (Donkey Kong Spooky) within the arcade folder and put the Spooky (dkongx11.zip) file there. That's not all though, I also had to take a copy of dkong.zip and put it in the Donkey Kong Spooky folder as well. Once I did that, it is all working now.
I am having two other problems though and although this is probably not the best place to post it I will share in case anyone else is having the same issues. These issues are only with the Remix games (including Pauline Edition) running in lr-mame 2016. It may be a global lr-mame 2016 issue, but I don't know because all my other games run in advance-mame.
1. I've built my control panel with 2 joysticks and whenever I use the 2nd joystick, down position (mapped to keyboard key F) the game pauses and the screen blacks out for a couple seconds then resumes.
2. I cannot get high scores to save in these games. All of my advance-mame games save, but the Remix games do not.
Any help with my issues are appreciated as well.
Cheers

I want to get this running on retroarch too. I wish mame would just support the remix roms. It would also be nice if there was a simple guide with all the rom links necessary to play each game. FYI I got the Christmas version running when I open the dkong rom. Not sure what's going on there. BTW my first post in the forum, so thanks so much for creating these awesome new roms.

Hey -
So new to the forum, and the remix versions of DK!
I have Spooky and XMas remixes running in my Arcade1up modded Retropie cab - and they work great, but I'm curious if there is a way to access the DIP switch menus in either FBNeo or MAME so you can change the number of lives, Extra life score value, etc? Seems like that is disabled - at least in FBNeo.

lr-fbneo exposes all the dipswitch options of any given game as Core Options. See Setting Core Options - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Core-Options/#setting-core-options
For MAME, typically you would plug a keyboard, hit the <tab> key during the game and select DIPs option.

Thank you. I'm aware of how to access the core options in FBNeo and TAB menu in MAME.
When you do that with these two games/clones/hacks there is nothing there to configure. Are these options disabled programmatically?
Since these are hacks/clones of DK II, I would have normally assumed you would be greeted with config menu built into the game that you normally see at startup, but that appears to be disabled too.
