Reds1f14 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 How hard would it be to make a multicart with several updated Pac-Man Games? Do like the Pac-Man collection that is on the 7800 for the 8-bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do like the Pac-Man collection that is on the 7800 for the 8-bit. It's not a bad idea. This one isn't even finished yet though. I do plan to do something similar with Jr. Pac-Man too.

+MrFish Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Updated the fonts the other day. Player score, ghost points, and text messages around the pen... a few other tweaks. Ms. Pac Enhanced (Beta 3-5-2016).xex 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks, I'm just toying around, really. The score should end up being in hi-res. But I like how it looks for the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 I adjusted the color of the title screen to be the proper yellow, instead of that greenish yellow. I've been meaning to change that for a while. I also tweaked a few things on the cut-scenes...

+Larry Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Just curious... I took out my original cartridge and compared its game play to this version. This version starts at a much faster pace. Not complaining -- just thought it seemed fast, and confirmed it with the original. Presume that was intended? -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Just curious... I took out my original cartridge and compared its game play to this version. This version starts at a much faster pace. Not complaining -- just thought it seemed fast, and confirmed it with the original. Presume that was intended? Not only does it start at a faster pace, it continues at a faster pace. The slowness was one of the complaints with the original, especially when compared with the 7800 version. Tep392 did up some tables and matched the speeds of all the levels as closely as possible with the arcade version. Another thing that was done was to make the delay when eating a dot a closer match with the arcade. The original Atari version was hard as nails due to having the delay set too long. This makes the new version much more playable. Not easy by any means, but you should definitely be getting higher scores with this version. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Tep392 did up some tables and matched the speeds of all the levels as closely as possible with the arcade version. Just to expand on this a little bit. Tep392 actually used a documented disassembly of the arcade version in order to derive the necessary adjustments needed for this version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 One more update to the bird on the "Act 3" intermission that I did last week: Ms. Pac Enhanced (Beta 3-13-2016).xex Some of you may have a hard time getting to the point in the game where you can see it (you must beat 3 consecutive Banana Levels). So here are a couple of vids; one of the original version and one of the new version: Act 3 (Original).mp4 Act 3 (New).mp4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Perhaps it's just me, but on the Act 1 and Act 2 intermissions, the intermissions seems to cut off too early. Is anyone else seeing this? I'm using the latest version under Altirra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Wow!!! Been playing some of the betas in emulation, but what a joy on real hardware. Looking forward to having this on cart to complement my Pac-Man cart from Tep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Made Ms. Pac a little more rounded looking, as per the graphics hack I've been working for the 2600 version Mr. Pac also gets a little more rounded shape for the cutscenes, to follow suit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suspicious_milk Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Really love this update ... just bumping this thread 'cause I know some folks missed it (which is a shame). Great work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Thanks, I'll have to get back at this someday. Interesting, I was looking at the behavior of Ms. Pac with the bouncing food as compared with the blue ghosts. She can sit still, let a blue ghost run into her, and it will be eaten. But, she can't do the same thing with bouncing food; she has to be moving in order to eat it. This lines up with how things work on the arcade machine. So, hats off to Atari for getting this little detail right. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
