Donkey Konga

[Game Boy]

I think the verdict is that it definitely doesn't save with Freeloader. I've experimented a fair bit with it myself this evening, but no joy.

Anyone know where I can get a switch fitted to my US cube before Monday?

[Mr Ono]

The boxes for the additional controllers are identical to the game and controller pack, which is a bit confusing.

It could well be that PA took the games out of the Packs leaving the drums. Remember they initally had problems sourcing spare controller only sets.

Anyone have a Controller only set from Lik-sang confirm this?

I've heard two things now...here and on mIRC
1. It doesn't save at all if you use a freeloader on a pal cube.
2.It saves if you have formatted the card to japanese standards...if you have another jap save on it in other words.
Which is true?

[The Mole]

Yeah thats what i need to know. People over at gamefaqs seam to think that it WILL save using the Freeloader if the card is Japanese formatted.

If this turns out to be true i need a BIG favour some some kind sole on these forums

Yod@ on Rllmuk should be able to do it. He's normally very fast with Xbox modchips, so switched by monday shouldn't be a problem, unless the christmas post gets in the way of it.

Does anyone else have sore hands after playing this game?

this would make sense, I guess they would then repackage up the proper additonal controllers with the spare games and sell them on.

a fair point has been made on another forum regarding the saving problem : datel will proberly release codes for the ar so you can unlock everything. i know its not the best solution but at least this you can still see what the game has hidden away. i hate cheating on a game but if needs must

i haven't seen anything to suggest the issue with konga is any different to that with mr driller: drill land. there is no workaround for drill land...

a memory card written in jpn format cannot be read by a pal or unmodified us cube, whether booted with freeloader or not. so statement 2 cannot be true.

My copy arrived today. Have to say that I am enjoying it so far bu a menu guide would be very helpful.

This game is fantastic, can't wait to get another set of drums for a drum off.

Just realised, that after you pick a song, you can change the beat, to like a Donky Kong style sound. So once you've bought them, you change them there!

I don't understand what the the menus are, when you go one player. Thereslike 6 options. The bottom 3 of COOL in the name and the top three don't. Whats that all about? Whats the differance?

See Page 3 for rough menu guide...

From what i've read form other places (i've not got mine yet) that menu is like this:


EASY

HARD

EXPERT

EASY-COOL

HARD-COOL

EXPERT-COOL


I think COOL just means you don't get shown what tp press, you have to do it by memory or something.

By Memory? Are you sure? I played one on cool. And the icons were there... I swear they were...

I've been using the rough guide. Cheers chaps.

Great game isn't it? Can't wait for a second set of bongos!

[tankplanker]

with cool they are barrels, you have to work out if they are left, right, both or clap from memory.
