Cranky's Barrell test problem in Donkey Kong 64

[Curious]

First and foremost I would like to offer my thanks to the authors of this excellent emulator. A big thanks to smiff, Olax et al for their greatly informative N64 emulation sites which have been invaluable in getting to terms with the emulation scene. Lastly, I must say how much I enjoy this forum. The advice and time given by each person is very much appreciated by me.

Now apologies. My first post is another Donkey Kong 64 question. I have a similar problem to demonmind in his thread "a sinking feeling about Donkey Kong" However I have passed that particular test. My problem lies in that I am unable to thro the 5 oranges. Each time Donkey Kong approaches an orange, the orange moves as if it has been thrown and this happens for all 5 oranges. I then awit for time to run out and I have failed the test.

I have a good rom Donkey Kong (U) and am using the latest version of Project 64 V.1.4 with the all the updates kindly provided by Smiff in his Resources Thread.

I fail to see how it can be a Control issue as I was able to pass the other tests using the Z button.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Oh! my Specs are:

PIII 1 GHZ
Windows ME
128 RAM
ATI Radeon
40 GB HD

God I just read my first thread!!! Perhaps I should have asked if anyone would have a save state just after completing Cranky's Barrel test?

[Slougi]

Calm down, it's been only 2 hours since u posted. I am sure someone will give u a solution in the next 24 hours

[Curious]

Thanks Slougi. Patience is a virtue.

I played the particular part of the game without any problems. perhaps you should change input-plugin, or set the counter factor back to 2 ( must do a save state before as the intro freezes in cf2 mode). what about gameshark codes ? Just download the new pj64 cheat database and activate "maximum oranges for donkey kong".

[Curious]

Thanks Mantis,

I will try this and let you know what happens. I'll pretty sure I have the latest version of the cheat database but will double-check. I have tried changing input plug-in from the latest version of Jab to N-Rage and the same thing happened with the oranges. Very strange. Incidently, I experienced the same problem while using 1964 v7.2 with the 7.3 patch.

Anyway regardless. Thanks again Mantis for getting back to me. I will let you know soon whether it works or not.

[Curious]

Just to let you know I've tried the suggestions Mantis gave me yesterday and no success. The new Cheat Database does not have activate "maximum oranges for donkey kong" code and I have been unable to find a code for this to add to the database.

For those of you who passed the barrel tests which input Plugin did you use?

Is this game as Smiff suggested sometime ago not fully playable?

If someone could offer me a solution or a save-state just after completing the barrel tests I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you for all your help and sorry to bother you with something as trivial as this.

[Curious]

Er...Could I ask for a Save State for Donkey Kong 64 (U) please.

If anyone has one just after completing Cranky's Barrel Tests I would really appreciate it and perhaps be able to return the favour.

Thanks

Hi!

Did you check your private message folder lately?

I have to apologize, i did not noticed that the newest pj64 cheat database still not contains the dk64 cheats. Actually i use cheats )(listed below) imported from 1964emu cheat database they're all compatible with the us version.You need to apply them as new cheat in the gameshark codes menu.I have written a notification to pj64 cheatmakers about this topic, it seeems they hsaven't implented it yet.

Savestate will be sent but for this specific state of the game you must wait till next week.(must visit my home)

set the counter factor to 3, not 4 and 2.
