- 0.29: Accurate colors in Donkey Kong 3 (well, not really) [Tim Lindquist, Nicola Salmoria]. Nicola Salmoria fixed high score saving in Donkey Kong 3. Known issues: The colors come from a bootleg board. They might not be the same as the original version.

- 0.16: Matthew Hillmer submitted a new palette for Donkey Kong 3. It is not intended to be correct, but at least it gets rid of the annoying checkerboard effect.
