The Gobblet: The Ultimate Donkey Kong 3 Competition

[homerwannabee]

I've tried to make DK3 a little more Gobbly (draft)
 Maybe the flowers could be cranberries (I don't know much about Thanksgiving !)

Wow, that is fantastically awesome.

The difficulty needs to be put in the rules section on the website.  You know there's going to be a dozen people who play on default.  GL!

The full game settings will show up on the landing page once the tournament starts, along with the marquee, etc.

The settings that I currently have are:

Mame Romset: dkong3
Lives: 5
Bonus Life: None
Medium difficulty

Is that correct?

[TheSunshineFund]

Might need to add a clarification about which difficulty to use if you are using MAME vs arcade as they aren't 1-1.

[Barra]

I think someone whined to MAMEdev and the difficulties were updated recently to match arcade

For MAME it's HARD

Wait, what?  So you're telling me there are two difficulty settings?  So MAME 223 is Medium, and MAME 183 is Hard?  Is that what you are saying.

Makes me angry that they screwed with the settings.  It was already confusing.   

[homerwannabee]

So MAME 183 it's hard

For MAME 223 it's dip switch setting (3)

For Arcade Dip switch setting (3)

[homerwannabee]

OK, my very first ghost score 451,200


So yeah, the competition has started.

 

[homerwannabee]

2nd ghost score.  About as ugly a 500k game you'll ever see.  504,700   Edit:  Not to late to join in on the fun.

OK, upped the score again. 537,200  Still haven't had a breakout game just yet.  It'll come.

[homerwannabee]

Someone asked if they could use MAME 224.  I decided that this would be OK.  I don't see why this would be a problem.  But yeah, if you have 223, use that.

[homerwannabee]

OK, finally something a tad bit better.  My ghost score 588,600

Oh, I forgot about the bounties! Perhaps the 473k one is feasible, but seems even that may be out of reach. There should be a bounty for just beating the current WR holder's ghost score too!

Fwiw, I don't know if creech's chat rant referring to 'dsync' or whatever was actually a reference to glitches in my inp, but I did find mame 223 was glitching/freezing for me during gameplay. I just installed 223 for this, and it had never happened on 106 which I usually use. I installed 183 and played that some today, and don't think that one is glitching for me like 223 was doing. So not sure, but seems 223 has glitch problems.
