DK Spooky Remix Halloween Tournament 2018

[bensweeneyonbass]

Arbor Day Remix! You can just keep the hatchets for hammers and make all the ladders tree trunks. And I guess the barrels could be acorns

[GILLYKONG]

Plant a 🌲 Remix. I can just see Giuseppe ripping limbs off as he's climbing the trees made of ladders 🤣. Thanks everyone for playing! Time to pack up the tater tots and play something else for a while. Thanks to John & Nina for this Spooky spooky game. And the DKF for being a great place for us Kong heads to hang out!!! JC & Jry much luv!

Just posting a little update.  Apologies for the delays in receiving your t-shirts - they should start arriving today or tomorrow or shortly thereafter if they have not already.

Canada Post has been on strike... seriously.   The t-shirts took longer than expected to arrive here, and they're taking longer than expected to get to their destinations.  Expect them in your mail soon!

Cheers!

[syscrusher]

Sorry i am new to this, i found the Christmas Remix rom but have had no luck finding the Spooky Remix Rom. If i am stupid tell me because i have looked everywhere on this forum and i have 20 years computer experience. If someone could link me or point me to the rom i'd appreciate it.

Not commenting on your intelligence, but the file is attached to this post:

If you are talking about the very first post by Xelnia? the only thing that is even downloadable or able to select is the misfit mame set. Maybe my browser is blocking it but i don't see anything and i have 2tbs of hyperspin roms i've collected and put together. so im guessing it's in plain site or not showing up at all?

[kucarachi]

nevermind....fair enough the intelligence remarks but it was very tiny and hard to see...and i usually only hear that from my gf.  But it was there so thank you.

Any way to run the Remix on Open Emu? For iMac folk?

[dnb642]

Maybe its really a wish. I wish there was a simple, easy to install Kong dedicated MAME. A one-stop shop for all the kongs, and all the remixes that Sock chooses to release. And whatever brilliance Sock has yet to dazzle us with.

Thats what I was hoping for. And yes, you could just load only Kong roms into MAME. I just thought a Dedicated Kong MAME would be nice.

This is essentially what I'm doing.  I'm running Retropie on a Raspberry Pi 3 in a cabinet.  Retropie has an "Arcade" mode that allows you to run different emulators for the roms in the roms directory - eg, I can have dkongpe.zip (Pauline Edition) running under lr-mame2016 and have dkong.zip (Donkey Kong) running under advmame-1.4.  The only requirement is that each rom name has to be unique because they're all in the same directory.  This why I was asking my question about file names earlier.  I can't find an emulator that will run Spooky Remix under any other name except dkongx11.zip. (note: the emulator has to run under Retropie, not Windows for my setup).

Here's the games I have running so far and the emulator I'm using for them.  All on one cabinet.

dkong.zip         Donkey Kong (US Set 1)                   advmame-1.4
dkong3.zip       Donkey Kong 3 (US)                         advmame-1.4
dkongx11.zip    Donkey Kong Christmas Remix           lr-mame2016
dkongf.zip         Donkey Kong Foundry (Hack)             lr-mame2016
dkongx.zip        Donkey Kong II - Jumpman Returns    lr-mame2016
dkongjr.zip        Donkey Kong Junior (US)                   advmame-1.4
dkongpe.zip      Donkey Kong Pauline Edition              lr-mame2016

dkongx11.zip    Donkey Kong Spooky Remix              lr-mame2016   This is the problem.  It will run under lr-mame2016 easy enough but I can't do it because the filename is the same as Christmas Remix.

Hope that makes sense...

Hey Sokratz, did you ever figure out a solution to your problem (running DK Christmas and Spooky from the arcade folder)?  I have EXACTLY the same setup as you and found this post last night because I was having the same problem.  Based on the responses that you received, they were not understanding the problem but I was.  I do have a solution so if you still need it, please let m know and I will post it here.  It's late now and I'm too tired to type all that out.
