8k Atari Pac-Man

Recommended Posts

I actually managed to pass through a ghost!

 

I can live with the maze the way it is, especially given the much more forgiving collision detection. Really just needs a better sound for the dot eating.

 

There's an older pac man hack I did on this forum ages ago where I changed it. Unfortunately, I don't know what byte I changed, as I was just playing with the code in Hack O Matic.

Here's a fix to deal with unknown flipflop status. The cart needs to initialize in bank2. If by chance the program booted in bank1, it would have crashed. This was corrected previously in Hack'Em by simply adding a start vector to bank1 as well...so I added the code (6 bytes in each bank) to this hack as well.

 

Program changes...

 

;* = $D000

START1:

      LDA    $1FF9                  ;4 switch to bank 2

      NOP                           ;2 take up the slack

      NOP                           ;2

      NOP                           ;2

 

;* = $DFFC

      .word START1

 

;* = $F000

      NOP                           ;2 take up the slack

      NOP                           ;2

      NOP                           ;2

      JMP    START                  ;3 jump and initialize ram

Hey Nukey Shay ever thinking of hacking a UPDATED Ms. Pac-Man or better yet a already hack Pac-Man Arcade (aka Pacman26) with Pac-Man having him have a real Death sceen like from the arcade and not like Ms.Pac-Man death?

 

I tried making sense out of Ms.PacMan before...and I didn't get very far :P Once I learned that there was little hope of making faithful mazes in it (because it's 1 row too short), I kind of lost interest.

Checked out the link, but that's for a proposal game cart, which I'm not interested in.

 

Yeah, but he hacked DK into an 8k game to make it work.

 

Still rather see it be worked into an expanded version of the game than just some proposal cart made for a specific someone. In other words, I won't even consider it. End of discussion.

Oh, come on 'Wiz you know they won't read through all of that. :P

 

I'm working on it now. It'll be easy to hack DK into an 8k cart. Then I'll have room to make a proper Atari proposal.

 

And later on, somebody can use the extra 4k to add the Elevators and Pie Factory!

Now someone just needs to add the extra levels.

What other levels besides those 4 are there? :P
