Fixed again. I forget to change code behind C (for L3 round) instead of D (for Stage ID). It was spelled mistake. It works this time.
richiewrong 22 May 2019 20:14
Did not work for me. Achievements show in config options, but do not unlock.
stfN1337 29 May 2019 08:52
@richiewrong: Which ROM and which emulator?
shroome 5 Sep 2019 17:15
I am using RetroArch - ProSystem core works great here. Thanks for the set

What happens to deathless achievements?
stfN1337 22 Feb 2021 12:08
Demoted deathless achievements because I can't fix them. I'm sorry. :(
RossWyatt 24 May 2021 01:05
Mario just doesn't move the way I direct him to in this one. It's surprising but he moved better in the 2600 version. I'll be pressing up, and he'll just be still on a ladder and a barrel will inevitably hit me lol
FeatherLemons 15 Nov 2022 22:39
This wasn't the worst Donkey Kong port, but it wasn't the best either. I have no idea how the barrels work in this one, and the spring in the second level is just pain.
Aros2k 3 Jul 2023 12:49
You need to hit left or right to move at top of a ladder, just going up seems to leave you on it.
I liked this one more than Colecovision but nowhere near Amstrad version. this is hardest port I have played so far. Very nicely designed and fun set, thank you :)

Mastery #423: Those springs might show up in my nightmares, joy.
randresen77 30 Mar 2024 13:54
This version is alot harder than the nes version.
BattousaiCenci 5 Apr 2024 02:30
Springs in l4 is almost impossible to pass
delocation 16 Apr 2024 14:40
Only complaint is how bad some of the sound effects are. Pretty challenging version though, seems like the flames are a bit faster here?
stfN1337 16 Jun 2024 01:35
1800 peoples played this set. Wow, that's awesome. :)
Neosquid 21 Sep 2024 03:33
Ima be honest, I got lucky on those expert springs.
I closed my eyes and went for it and got lucky... TWICE!
Zyvyn 21 Sep 2024 17:54
God I have no idea how the hell you deal with the springs. I can't even get past them on L3 of Standard
Zaechus 23 Nov 2024 08:12
You have to run under the spring immediately once it bounces over you (while under the "i" in the score text).

This version of DK just makes me laugh. In most console ports of DK, there's some degree of weird charming jankiness. But, this one feels unique. Maybe it's the music. XD

L4 Springs tip: Run past the ladder to the next safe spot on the top platform to the left of the ladder. Now when the spring goes over you, you have more time to get up the ladder because the spring is still on screen for more time.

Around 2300 gamers played my set. That makes me happy. :D
