Proto:Disney's Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers (Windows)

This page details one or more prototype versions of Disney's Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers (Windows).

To do: Post a patch that will make the prototype launch on modern PC's. A patch for the final version exists, but it doesn't work with the prototype. The executable Donald.exe is full of references to debug tools and a menu. Is it possible to activate these? Note that it runs on the same engine as Rayman 2.

The Donald Duck Demo was included in various demo discs from Mickey Mouse magazines and more. It has several differences between the final. Only 4 levels can be played in the demo. It can be downloaded from here: http://kuribo64.net/board/thread.php?id=3352

General

• The game's executable is 2157 kb in size while the final version is just 681 kb.

Proto	Final (US)

• Donald Duck Goin Quackers was simply named "Donald Duck Demo" and it also had a simple copyright.
• The logo is quite different because the name of the game has not yet been determined.

Proto	Final

Proto	Final

• Only three languages could be selected
• Gyro's house looks different and unfinished, with less decorations and different textures and models.
• A floating star was visible at the selected text, just like the butterfly from Rayman 2's menus
• The clock displayed the flag with a pole in the proto.
• TV in the background constantly shows the test pattern in the proto, while in the final it only shows it in the picture settings.
• There is no menu music
• Videosettings didn't exist yet.
• No loading screen for the menu is present and shows the titlescreen instead.

Proto	Final

• The HUD had a more mechanic design that was changed drastically in the final.
• The golden warp pad was absent in the HUD.
• The font of the numbers was different, less detailed shaded.

Proto	Final

To do: On the final game's data, the string "DDPC991119-v0002" can be found at the top. This may still be true here, on the proto, since the Pause Screen doesn't show the full image in-game. Add extra information regarding the "off-screen" information if that's the case.

• The pause menu had a different background, that still exists in the final game's data.
• Some of the unused loading screens from the final are used here.
• The stars had a different design:

Proto	Final

Proto	Final

Proto	Final

• The One-Ups had no animation yet and were static.
• The warp pads had a different animation; It changes to black instead of changing back to the gray texture, when entering it.
• Evil books sometimes glitches and still wake up when collecting the toys.
  • They also happen to be transparent at random times.

Level Differences

First Avenue

Proto	Final

• The electric areas were darker and some planks were thicker.
• Some walls and fences were changed and some lamps were moved around.
• Many of the enemies had a different model, including the painter and the criminal trash can.
• The background was also absent and used a light blue color instead.
• There was a bug where the red star that was above an electrical box is invisible.

Proto	Final

• The car had a different design. In the final, it was changed to a blue and red theme to present Scrooge McDuck's car.

Proto	Final

• The little balcony to the room with the golden warp pad is not present.

Urban High-Rises

This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

• Some textures were different.
• Shading was less detailed.

Haunted Hall

This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

• Uses an entirely different song, as the actual theme was probably not composed yet.
• There were fewer morning star obstacles
• The moving camera effect is not present.
• The frankenstein's monsters had a different, less detailed model
• Same goes for the skeleton hand platform, which also lacked some shading

Creepy Corridor

• Used an early version of Eerie Alley's theme, as the actual theme was probably not composed yet.
• The flailing morning star obstacles were a lot faster
• The area with the golden warp pad was not present.
• Wooden signs from the coffins had different textures:

Proto	Final

Audio Differences

Music

General

In the final version, the songs are divided into individual segments, usually from 2 to 4. The songs are either set so that the first segment loops twice before the second segment starts, or the second segment doesn't start until you reach a certain point in a level.

In the demo, however, even the segments are divided into even smaller segments, which are each only up to 4 seconds long (something that is also the case in Rayman 2 which runs on the same engine). Some of the songs in this demo, like First Avenue's theme, loop some of these individual mini segments twice to make some parts of the song a little longer. This was completely removed in the final version.

First Avenue

Proto	Final

The music has a slightly different instrumentation, a longer melody in the beginning and a different crash noise heard at 1:01 (0:54 for the final) that was changed in the final, but can still be heard in the Nintendo 64 port.

The song itself is as long as the final version, but due to looping mini-segments (described above) the song was a bit longer at the beginning.

Urban High Rises

Proto	Final

Percussion was missing and the instrumentation was slightly different. A crash noise can be heard at 0:49 that was removed in the final.

Eerie Alley

Proto	Final

The instrumentation was simpler and lacked some ghostly effects and echoes.

The part between 0:31 and 0:38 was removed in the final version, but can still be heard in the buggy N64 port.

Haunted Halls

Proto	Final

The music is completely different. It appears to be borrowed from the PlayStation version.

Unused Graphics

Early Window

An early version of the window textures that was quite simple in design.

Wooden Wall

Some wooden fences with a "Future" sign.

Early Donald Textures

Simpler textures for Donald's eyes. They can also be found in leaked files from the Nintendo 64 version.

Early Rayman 2 Leftovers

A big number of graphics of an early Rayman 2. Some of them still exist in some proto and final versions of Rayman 2.

Early Icons

•

HUD

Most likely an early HUD. The wooden vertical meter can still be found in an updated form unused in the final version of Rayman 2. The last 7 icons also exist unchanged and unused in the final. The horizontal yellow and red bar were later used for the music and sound settings in the final game.

Shoot Effect

A shiny shooting effect which is meant to be copied and flipped around like this:

Early Graphics

Early Boss Icons

Proto	Final

The boss icons all had a lower pixel resolution. Some of these were later used in the Nintendo 64 version.

Early Dialogue Icons

• 

  X_Daizy_nz.gf

• 

  X_Gladstone_nz.gf

• 

  X_Gyro_nz.gf

• 

  x_merlock_nz.gf

Some early dialogue icons. Gladstone's icon got even updated in the final and went simply unused there too. Daisy's icon was later used for Donald's sleeping animation, where a dream cloud appears with her head in the cloud.

These can be seen in pre-release screenshots.

DiLog300_origin.gf

The title screen without the "Donald Duck DEMO /1.1" text.

Polices.tga

An unused font, possibly for debugging features. It also can be found in an early Rayman 2.

Unused Text

The executable is full with developer messages, error strings and debug texts. Interestingly there are also mentions about a "Dynamic Mode".

Developer Messages

You are not allow to use another group to the default

You try to release the default channel (0), you not allow to do that !

Strange, the number of free was not valid.
The debug function TestMalloc has repaired this data.
Please warn the developper of Mmg to fix the Bug

Strange, you have request a free with a NULL pointer, please change that

Strange, you have request an allocation of 0 Byte, the return value Will be NULL, please change
Can not free the Block (in Mmg_fn_vDeleteblock)
The number of requested allocation are too high, the debug information memory is full

Can not allocate (the block is full)

The Static memory address is not valid (not referenced in the debug table), or using a wrong static block

The dynamic memory address is not valid (not referenced in the debug table)
Can not allocate dynamic memory (in fn_p_vDynAlloc),
the system function for allocation failed (return NULL)

Impossible to Allocate the block (in Mmg_fn_vInitblock),
the system function for allocation failed (return NULL)

Can not free the dynamic memory
You can NOT use this function with this kind of block: block without Free management

The last Allocation Overwrite the Remain check Key, just after the p_cMaxMen

The size of the allocation is not compatible with the alignment requested duing the initialization of the block
Problem the Mmg_M_SetModeAlloc is not appropriate 
Example: you try to use Dynamic memory but Mmg_M_SetModeAlloc is set for the Static memory

You have selected the Dynamic mode.
But __DYNAMIC_MALLOC_ALLOWED__ is not defined

The Mmg initialization have to be done before the Erm initialization

Malloc system failed in Mmg_fn_vInitBlock function

Malloc system failed in InitMmg function

Malloc system failed in FirstInitMmgModule function
Sorry, too much channels are used

Invalid number of channel

You've try to access to the memory through Mmg module.
But the memory have been locked with Mmg_fn_vLockAlloaction!
There is no static memory

The BlockId is impossible

The moduleId is impossible

The address is not a static address
The static block that you try to use, is not valid, it's should be not well initialize !

The virtualAlloc function failed (return NULL). Is that enough memory ??

There is too many allocation

Overflow after an allocation

Overflow before an allocation

Overflow after a static malloc

Overflow before a static malloc
Overflow after a dynamic malloc
Overflow before a dynamic malloc

the dynamic memory allocated is not aligned
(from the 'malloc' system function, in fn_p_vDynAlloc)

Alignment error of the beginning address of my block
(from the 'malloc' system function, in Mmg_fn_vInitblock)

The block tested by testMalloc is not valid, it's should be not initialize !

X:\cpa\tempgrp\MMG\CpaMmg.c
Because 0X%X it's not multiple of %d

the size requested (%d) is not a multiple of the alignment(%d)

The key expexted should be 0X%X, but we have 0X%X

the is not enought memory(%db) for the allocation size requested (%d)

there is no free space enougth big (i.e. %db)
,even with the 'added debug information' memory
