THE PLAN

BELOW ARE THE RULES FOR SUBMISSION TO TWIN GALAXIES FOR DONKEY KONG . Since I have small children and cannot travel to competitive gaming venues to be verified by a referee , I'll first submit A VIDEO in the 900,000's . Once I'm on the board and have a verified submission,ill then have to make an attempt to have a referee see me play live. Then,I can make a record attempt.


Variation:

Points [Hammer Allowed] [Default,TGTS]

Platform:

Arcade

Rules:

Dip-Switch Bank: 

1-7 = OFF 

8 = ON/OFF [Upright/Cocktail]

Note: The above Dip Switches, are not only the FACTORY DEFAULT settings, but are also the correct Twin Galaxies Tournament Settings for this title and will provide the following settings;

Number of Jumpman: 3 
Score Level for Extra Jumpman: 7,000 Points

Added 02.15.2008:

All submissions for scores exceeding 1,000,000 points must be video recorded (no live feeds), and they must also be witnessed by Walter Day or a Senior Referee.

Since board certification is not yet widely available, players scoring under 1,000,000 points are not required to have their boards checked for their ROMsets. However, players exceeding 1 million points must have their boards certified by Twin Galaxies. This requirement is necessary to prove that gameplay employing advanced "point-pressing" has been achieved on regulation boards.

Note: these verification requirements are subject to updates based on the continuing research and experience of Twin Galaxies and its Referees and Technical Advisors.

 

I will use this to Attempt the Arcade World Record!

I bought the below donkey kong JR. machine from an AD on craigslist .  It functions good , but i had to replace the power cord and a sound board and the T-molding for a total cost to me of $300.00.  I have been in search of a donkey kong board .
As soon as i get  a donkey kong board ,  
ITS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!

John Lopez scores 1,050,400 on Donkey Kong



The above is a screenshot of a donkey kong "Kill Screen " ! achieved by me , JOHN LOPEZ .
i used the Twin Galaxies settings as below :

Variation:Points [Default,TGTS]
Platform:M.A.M.E.
Rules:ROMSet: DKong

As far as I know , I am one of only a handful of people in the world that can achieve this .
The all time world record for donkey kong is 1,050,200 set by Billy Mitchell .  The M.A.M.E (multi arcade machine emulator)  world record on donkey kong is  917,600 by Ross Benzinger   .  So now i'll need submit a score to Twin Galaxies .
