Donkey Kong is a platforming game, in which you play as Jump Man, trying to rescue Pauline from a giant ape, Donkey Kong. Jump over barrels, fireballs and springs as you climb your way to the top of a tower to defeat Donkey Kong. Collect hammers to smash barrels and collect some of Pauline's possessions for extra points. Donkey Kong is said to be the first real platforming game, and also created two of Nintendo's most popular characters, Donkey Kong, and their mascot, Mario.
Problems that may occur with any NES title on Dolphin are listed below.
DirectX with NES Games
Most NES games suffer strange graphical issues when using the DirectX backend with some graphics drivers; notably NVIDIA. This is a driver bug.
As of 5.0-4869, the D3D driver bugs can be worked around by setting Ubershaders to Exclusive/Synchronous (Ubershaders). It's unknown what exactly is going on with the driver that's causing Exclusive Ubershaders/Synchronous (Ubershaders) to work properly.
This seems to have been rectified at some point, though it's unclear what resolved it.
