      @markwkidd said in Donkey Kong Pauline Edition:

      It seems like there was a discussion about Donkey Kong colors which I was not much involved in personally, but I can't find it in the issues. Has there been some conversation about it or am I imagining this?

      I opened this one 6 months ago https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/issues/290 , it's pointing the related fix in fbalpha.

      I think the related change in mame is actually this one :

      0.141u2: Couriersud fixed a bug in palette_normalize_range which caused color distortion. The luminance normalization now converts r,g,b to y,u,v and normalizes y prior to converting back to r,g,b. This affects e.g. Radar Scope, Donkey Kong and Mario Bros.

      @mediamogul It was only fixed in 0.141u2, so afaik AdvanceMAME could be using the wrong colors too.

      Real colors look like this : alt text
      Previously they were redder.

          I'm not near my setup at the moment, but going by memory, I believe the colors were indeed much more red. Very good to know. I'll compare and post back to confirm a bit later.

            Thanks. I thought I searched the github repo for dkong ?? Oh well, the link is much appreciated. I've reopened the issue.

              I made an overlay file if anyone wants it. (Credit to someone else for the actual bezel art, don't know who.)

                Grant is a speed demon and has already added the Pauline Edition to mame2003-plus based on this thread. 🤩

                    @mediamogul Sorry, I'm a bit late and it looks like this has been sorted, but I'm using a modified dkong.zip rom under lr-mame20003. I updated the metadata in RetroPie to rename it Donkey Kong (Pauline Edition) after scraping. For original (not Pauline) Donkey Kong I just resort to using the dkongo.zip rom. All my roms are from romset 0.78.

                    So my samples are just in the usual place:

                    /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/samples/mame2003/dkong.zip

                    Both my modified dkong,zip and my dkongo.zip just use the same samples.

                      Great, now have to hope a binary mame2003-plus is going to be made available, at some point ;-)

                      I also want to eventually finish my old arcade overlay project I started a couple of years ago on the Retroarch forums. The last ones I worked on look like this.

                      One old knackered machine, and one normal machine. Made mostly for Mame PC, but work on a Pi.
