TheBman80 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Does anyone have any working ROMs boards or boards without ROMs there willing to sell? I have been trying for a while now to get a Pac man board or even an Ms Pac man board. They always go for a lot on eBay even nonworking boards go for a lot I would be happy just to get a working ROM set for these games. Does anyone know a website that sells ROM chips or does anyone have any they want to part with? If I could just get a working ROM set I could buy an inexpensive board off eBay that doesn't have ROMs. This is such a great game I really want to have my own (me and just about every other arcade collector in the world). I just recently started playing Pac man on Mame but it’s just not the real thing. I think it’s much better on a real arcade monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I would advise against buying a baord off ebay with roms missing. Most likely when you plug the roms in, it will be broken. Not a certainty but it has happened to me many times. You will have to pay a premium for a working board. There is simply no way around it with this title. The Ms pac game still makes money on location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc they run around $50 for the pair. I sell them for half that but only in bulk. Also there are 2 color proms that aren't usually sold with the eprom set that will set you back plenty too. There is one way around the price if you know what you are doing. You can convert Make Trax or Eyes boards to Pacman. They have the falcon pinout though instead of pacman.

TheBman80 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Well I found and bought an entire working Ms. Pac Man ROM set now I just need to get some money together and get my self a working Pac Man ROM set. It would be great if I could find someone who has boards now but so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
