Been working on a Donkey Kong hack for a while, finally showing it off (DK CIFRA)

So I've been messing with Donkey Kong for way longer than I'd like to admit and it turned into something kind of big. It's called DK CIFRA and it runs in RetroArch with the FBNeo core.

Basically it's still Donkey Kong, but I added a bunch of new stuff:

- 8 boards now. The classic four, plus 4 new ones I made (Wire Walk, Crumble Keep, Lockdown, and Kong Blast, where you spray Kong into a fire)
- 4 difficulty levels
- you pick up coins and spend them in a little item shop (double jump, speed shoes, hammer, bubble, etc.)
- bonus rounds between levels
- a "Dark Jumpman" that chases you on Rivets, which is kinda evil
- achievements, with a page you can open from the title screen
- 10 letter names on the high score table, and it actually saves
- New music. Some Original, some ported over.

Couple things are different from the video I posted:

- the "100 random levels" thing is gone. There's still random layouts but it's a smaller number now, I had to cut some to make room for the achievements
- achievements took over the spot where Records used to be on the main screen. The records are still in the game, but now you only get to them from the push start screen

Mostly just proud of it, so thanks for looking! If you've got any feedback, I'd really like to hear it.
