Donkey Kong 2 DOES work with MAME 140-Hi!!

however, it is way too difficult.

Yeah, I hated it right away. The difficulty, to me, is due to poor level design.

If the difficulty was toned down I think it would be a really great game.  The level design is OK but there are a few things I'd change for sure.  I don't want to discourage anyone from creating similar hacks in the future though - it is a great thing for our hobby.  I always wondered why there weren't more sequels to these types of games - how hard would it be to release another Ms. Pac-man game with 4 new stages?  The graphics could stay exactly the same!

I feel the same way.  To this day, I'd pay for sequels to those games of the golden age. Especially if they kept similar graphics, sounds and gameplay. Something tells me that if it was easy to do, we'd see a lot more of it.

I made the mistake of downloading a Frogger "sequel" for one of my consoles.  Although it had today's graphics, the gameplay was just horrible.

I think it's possible that having it in mame may increase the game's profile and lead to more sales...

doubt it, i downloaded it with an update and didnt know it was on sale.

But unless you've got an original DK or a repro I don't think you are the target market.

Does anyone know how to insert a single rom into a maximus arcade playlist?   I downoaded donkey kong II last night, and although I can play it through MAME, I can't get maximus arcade to recognize the game (I have it setup to eliminate clones and what not...)

Any help would be appreciated.  The game itself is frustrating enough...

Is this the same as dkongx in Mame or is it a newer version?  I tried it some and didn't like it.  I sort of expect arcade games to start out easy and get harder not start out hard.
