https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/02/donkey-kongs-famed-kill-screen-has-been-cleared-for-the-first-time/

This famous kill screen can be optionally fixed by a cheat from mame included in current raine versions anyway, but the article is still interesting ! Extreme way of playing just to pass this kill screen without actually fixing it... !

And here is how this bug is fixed by the cheat, with some heavily commented z80 code : http://donhodges.com/How_high_can_you_get.htm

About the next page from the article about the pacman bug : this time the fix is still needed and the cheat is correctly converted for that, you can enable it before starting the game if you are crazy enough to try to reach level 255 !

last edit : finally the dkong kill screen fix still had a bug because of the converter. It's now fixed in git, along with cheats for
fatfurspa.txt
fatfursp.txt
p47j.txt
p47.txt
samsho2.txt
sgemf.txt
superspy.txt
truxton2.txt
(the txt extension is the extension for raine scripts). These are all in git, along with the fixes for the converter.
