The game doesn't appear to freeze, it just keep rendering the same screen and won't respond to inputs. It is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for dkongx11 so i don't understand why it wouldn't work while dkongx11 works. Please test on mame/hbmame to make sure the hack isn't actually like this.
I tested it with HBMAME 0.214 and it does work as expected.
I also downloaded official MAME 0.214 but I can't get it to launch. I did attempt to rename it to dkongx11 but it still fails the ROM verification before launch. I am not sure how to get it to run in official MAME.
@barbudreadmon, the reason this game works with the other init (regular dk init) is that it loads the dk game rom instead of the dkchrmx's game rom. note for later: i think this might be a z80 or timing bug. so far (after a few days of work on this) I can influence the freeze, but I can't stop it.
Nice !
@dinkc64 - Christmas came early this year, I updated from source and let it blissfully loop for a while! :) Thanks a bunch for all the work you do on the core, it's simply amazing. Triumph, simply triumph!
This remix edition of DK is truly a fine piece of art, I couldn't give up on it :) Thanks for your support! best regards,
Look forward to the 2 new hacks i just added (GOTM from https://donkeykonghacks.net/), they seemed nice too.
When running Donkey Kong Christmas Remix (dkchrmx) you have to add credits and start the game immediately or it locks up.
Basically if it completes the attract mode loop once it will lock up at the start of the second loop. The only thing you can do is exit the game and restart.
If you start the game anytime before the end of the first loop it's runs fine.
It also loops fine if you play at least one game before letting it loop in attract mode.
I am running RetroPie 4.5.1 (896b34e1), FBNeo commit f92dd20 with default settings and Retroarch 1.7.6.
I also disabled overclocking and removed any shaders, backdrops, etc. while testing. The verbose log is posted below.
@barbudreadmon - Thanks for Donkey Kong hacks as there are some fun ones I've never tried! :)
