You continue to make this look easy!! Another great video mate. I want to emulate Donkey Kong, but maybe I should settle for Crazy Kong instead. I made a synthesiser about 5 years ago for Mac and iPhone, i intend using it for the sound for PacMan and Galaxian (my next game). Do you have an end project in mind for all these games, are you going to build an arcade cabinet to run these in?
If you programmed your synthesiser using Objective C, that is very impressive, I could never get my head around that language. A synthesiser is impressive in itself, not a simple task. My target is to get as many emulators running on a Raspberry Pi Pico as I can with a keyboard so retro computers and arcade machines can be used on a VGA monitor with keyboard. As all projects it tends to be cascading quite a bit.
@@DevelopIT i did it in Swift, but Objective-C used to be my favourite language. I hated it the first time i used it, however it really grew on me and i came to love it. Once Swift was introduced i never looked back. I am an iOS App Developer by trade, started out as C programmer in the early 90s. Your project sounds awesome, my side projects tend to never get finished, usually i go back to them after a year or so though. I have been building an arcade machine for 8 years 😂
@@ConfusedNDazed I made a Mame upright over a decade ago, the joystick has been broken for years, so many things in the queue to get done. Hope your project goes well.
I believe Crazy Kong was a ROM conversion for the PCBs for Crazy Climber. Which explains it's weird palettes and sounds - I guess those were in hardware. But this would mean you could get another game emulation done very easily!
@@DevelopIT There's a line on the wikipedia entry for Crazy Kong about it. "Both run on modified Crazy Climber hardware; there are other versions that run on Scramble, Jeutel, Orca, and Alca hardware." So maybe it depends which particular Crazy Kong romset you made your emulator for whether Crazy Climber will work or not.

I'll check out the Crazy Climber ROMs, thank you.
