I got a donkey Kong a friend bought working but when you start a game it immediately goes to the level with pies and when you beat it you go to a level with elevators but it still says level one. If you die on elevator level it takes you back to the pies instead of staying on elevators. Is this a hacked rom, corrupted rom or something else.
Here is a photo of the level it starts on

Thanks in advance

What does the title screen say for copyright information? That will at least tell us if the machine has an older or updated ROMset.

There are many different unauthorized variants of the DK ROMset. I'm pretty sure I've seen ones that play the various boards within each level in alternate order. Seeing the "Pie Factory" level first doesn't seem too weird, if this is one of those alternate ROMsets.
