Title: Donkey Kong 5 by Yong Yong
Post by: Barver on September 27, 2010, 09:38:06 PM

I've become confused about DK5. There's one from Sintax and one from Yong Yong. Has there been video or anything from the Yong Yong one? I can't find anything, and thinking about it I don't think I ever have. It's dumped or not?

My memories drawing a blank, I feel like I'm only just learning of its existence though it feels like I used to know what it is. I find this ROM on google called Donkey Kong 5 [c][b1].zip, but the ROM doesn't work in Visual Boy Advance, assuming it'd be the same result in other emus too.

there's a shot of the title screen here:

and the box/cart/manual:

AFAIK the ROM is either a bad dump, protected, or it uses some kind of weird mapper (the [b1] would suggest bad dump, but you never know). I've certainly never been able to get it working in anything anyway, and  I've never seen a video of it.

Ah, I remember that box. I guess it really still is unknown, I swore I'd seen it before.

Thanks for clearing that up. Now I'm very curious what it is!

"Donkey Kong 5 [c][b1].zip" is definitely Yong Yong's version, not Sintax's. I thought at one point it might've been Sintax's, but looking at it in a tile editor... yeah, definitely Yong Yong.

And yeah, I wonder whether the fact that it doesn't run is because it uses a weird mapper-- I know Super Mario 3 Special had similar issues till Brian Provinciano hacked it to work with a normal mapper.

I think it's pretty obvious what the game itself is just by the title screen: awful. :P Also, is there any possibility that Provinciano can hack this game to get it to work as well? Either that or obtain the cart and give it to CaH4e3 to dump or something.
