Amen. The time I've spent building old versions of MAME. I have a mountain of Donkey Kong replay files from top players. Game replays are only guaranteed to run under the version used to record them, so get ready to build binaries if you want to watch old replays.

Interesting distribution method of the source code (zip file uploaded to mediafire), any reason not to go for a git hosting service like Codeberg, GitLab or even GitHub?

I’ve never heard of this game, so I’m particularly interested in how it played. Unfortunately, the article still leaves some questions unanswered.
