Donkey Kong Jr. Core

[kamshaft]

I'm just wondering something overall.

I know there's a DK Jr. core out there... https://github.com/gaz68/Arcade-DonkeyKongJunior_MiSTer

I installed it, it works. It doesn't seem follow from what I'm assuming a newer naming and path structure. And it seems abandoned.

My question is, how do core(s) get added to the official page? This core seems to be off on it's own.

I sent the author a note but haven’t heard back. I can try to update it.

Doesn't make use of the mame folder to use the normal zip files.
That would be cool and maybe add it to the official cores page too.

What do you mean? It‘s using the dkongjr.zip in your configured MAME folder. It‘s working like any other arcade core.

On that site there's no .mra file. And I had to compile the rom as stated in the notes.

Okay. It’s not on the GitHub site but it must be out there because I have it. Unfortunately I can’t remember where I got it...

The MRAs are on github as pull requests

Found the MRA's (Thanks!)

I hate this part.... Now to track down a compatible ROM! Ughh.

Just use the merged MAME romset.

I have had great luck with https://edgeemu.net
Select "MAME .216 ROMs" from the drop down and put the Name field from the MRA, in this case "Donkey Kong Junior (US set F-2)" in the search box. Click on the ROM and download the ZIP (dkongjr.zip). In some cases you need to read the MRA file "rom index section to see if it requires an additional ROM set

The mra needs crc in it. I am almost done with the official release. I need to fix the coin dip - not correct yet.

The official repo has an mra and rbf.
