Get all games from http://www.madrigaldesign.it/sim Please submit your comments, bug reports, etc. before 16th November! ...and spread the voice with friends, websites, media, etc. Thanks
MADrigal Posted November 18, 2017 Author Posted November 18, 2017 Hi all While I am about to complete the testing of all games (scheduled for release on 4 Dec), I found some time to prepare my new game - which is schedued for release on Christmas Eve. The game is Donkey Kong Game & Watch "Special Edition". The game is the same as the original multi-screen handheld, but... well look at this picture below. The game runs fullscreen only, the sprites are very large so you can play very well on any desktop of 1024x768 and above. The wallpaper works best at 1920x1080. Obviously, the user can replace the entire graphics at will. Minor changes to the source code of the original game were implemented, e.g. the ACL function has been removed, and the scores are multiplied by 10. I may end up adding a "game start" tune to the game, and a few other features. If you have any specific requests, please just ask. FYI the below screenshot was taken at 1366x768, so not all of the original artwork is visible on it.
MADrigal Posted November 18, 2017 Author Posted November 18, 2017 This is a screenshot of the entire game graphics. Still work in progress, however 99% complete
gigapig Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 This special ED looks fantastic, looking forward to trying it out.
MADrigal Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 Hi all!!! The time has come to release the final version of all (59) games to the newest Standard 5 format. This update was announced over one month ago and follows about six months of hard programming work and one month of intense beta-testing and refinements. During this time, i have been working closely with very talented programmers and graphic artists who helped out a lot. In addition to all the features of the "beta versions" published in October, the new releases feature new functionalities and bug-fixes. For example, it is now possible to switch full-screen and windowed modes from the on-screen menu or by pressing F12 in-game. Today's news is not just about the release of all Windows versions of my games. Thanks to the effort of great guys like Andre Leiradella, HCF Retrocoder and KMFDManic, all games are now fully playable on more than 15 platforms including Android, Apple, Raspberry, Linux, PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, WiiU and the newest NES and SNES Mini consoles! The list of new files updated during the past few weeks is impressive: 1) Standalone simulators - All 59 games for Windows - version 5.00 (many of which with source code) - All 59 games for RetroArch/Libretro - portings by Andre Leiradella, based on Standard 4 sources 2) Collections - MADrigal CD Collection for Windows and ClrMamePro DATfile - version 59.S5 - MADrigalPSP for Sony PSP and PSVita - version 1.0 by HCF Retrocoder, based on Standard 4 sources - MADrigal for NES and SNES Classic - version 2017-11-05 by KMFDManic, based on Standard 4 sources All files available for download at the usual downloads page. * MORE NEWS * MADrigal's Simulators has gone social! The brand new Facebook page will provide updates on the world of handheld simulators on a regular basis, so get connected! A new article and video review of this project was recently published on Emumovies. The article is now available for download on the usual Press Review page. * WHATS NEXT? * There are quite a few new things coming up in the next few weeks. Just a couple of teasers attached: - MADrigalX (scheduled for release mid December) - Donkey Kong Special Edition -(scheduled for release on Christmas 2017) ...so you better stay tuned! :-) URL: http://www.madrigaldesign.it/sim/
MADrigal Posted December 24, 2017 Author Posted December 24, 2017 Merry Christmas everyone! Ho! Ho! Ho! What better way to celebrate than playing your favourite classic videogames under the Christmas tree? And when they are completely free, the games play even better! :-D As announced a few weeks ago, I am today releasing my very own re-interpretation of Nintendo's most iconic pocket game: Donkey Kong Multi Screen. This "Special Edition" application simulates the gameplay of the old classic Game & Watch with a few minor changes. Even though the gameplay is almost the same, the graphics and audio experience is quite much improved: everything has been re-designed from scratch! The game features four stages, each with custom-made images and sounds effects. Tweaking the included "config.ini" files, you have the power to create and add your own images, remove any of the existing, change the order of the stages, make the game play your own sound effects, or... whatever you have in mind! :-) The included stages are listed below: 1. "Sunset City" features black LCD graphics on a black skyscraper on a cityscape background. The graphics is an adaptation of the beautiful DK Wallpaper designed by Old Game Box a few months ago. 2. "Panorama Screen" is inspired by the beloved colourful electronic games of the same series, released by Nintendo in 1983-1986. The graphics feature coloured sprites on a black background and show how the game would have looked if it was released as a Panorama Screen game. 3. "Coin Op World" utilises graphics from the classic arcade coin-op Donkey Kong (with adaptations from me). Sound effects also come from the original arcade game. 4. "Classic G&W" is the real pocket game displayed very realistically, to provide the real experience of having the game on your crowded desk. It utilises the photo of a real Game & watch as pictured by my long time friend Roberto Mayrhofer. The below image shows two of the four settings and one intermission screen, shot at 1366x768. Note the game requires screen resolution of 1024x768 as a minimum, however the bigger the screen, the better! Best results are obtained on 1920x1200 desktops. Read below list of new files released today: - Donkey Kong G&W Special Edition version S5/5.00 - for Windows only - MADrigal CD Collection version 60.0 - for Windows only - ClrMamePro DATfile - version 60.0 The files are available for free download from the usual downloads page. I wish to express my gratitude to Old Game Box and Roberto Mayrhofer for providing portions of the game graphics, and Mike DX and Paul Rahme for providing a few sound effects. This game could not be the same without your help! :-) URL: http://www.madrigaldesign.it/sim/
