The coaching and chorus modes are not applicable to DK Junior and were incorrectly set. I have rectified this now. Thank you!!

I agree with your observation. Now, when Jumpman faces a machine, Pauline will announce "Push P1 START for options or push JUMP to play". The screengrabs below show the announcement as Jumpman is approaching and then facing a machine. This feature is also displayed on the controls page (when in attract mode) and in the readme docs.

I was confused by that, maybe for the second time.

Notes have now been added into the settings file and into the readme documentation as suggested. Thank you.

It was a lot of fun to work on that chorus version. Glad you like it :cheers:

Version 0.28 of DKAFE is now available for Windows OS.
It includes a big update to my Galaga themed shooter hack "GalaKong". There is a single player and a CO-OP mode (were a second player controls the Galaga ship). I made various tweaks and bug fixes after watching 2 legends play a 1.59M point game on twitch:
Installing my DKAFE frontend is the easiest was to play GalaKong and all the other rom hacks.
Alternatively, you can download my MAME plugin. Instructions are at https://github.com/10yard/galakong

I have made an update to my Galakong hack to make it more beneficial to hit multiple targets with one missile.
1 hit = 200 points
2 hits = 500 points
3 hits = 800 points
4 hits = 1200 points
The 4 hit maximum is new. When achieved, a love heart is displayed with a bonus sound.
Here's a really short video showing me hit 4 barrels.
I am thinking to make my own dedicated cab for Galakong. It would require a DK control panel which is adapted to have 2nd player (for the CO-OP mode) with 2 way directional controls and a fire button. I'll post about that project in a new thread.
