fakecortex Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 It's fun to learn all the "new" parts that keep me on my toes. Like how if you're eating dots, Blinky will catch up to you like no one's business, a lot faster than the arcade. 70,930 2nd random (pretzel, orange) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Mostly pears and bananas, luckily. I did get an apple and a pretzel too. I'm just starting to get good at avoiding the ghosts on those random fruit boards. A couple times, I was lucky enough to grab 2-3 ghosts on those super short power pills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After i rolled the score, i returned to free style, that saved me from playing for days and rolling dead from my chair. Just tested the pattern with the NTSC ROM on my PAL Jr. 2600, because a friend of me didn't succeed with this pattern on his NTSC setup. It seems there are differences in the ghost movements between the PAL and NTSC ROMs, the pattern is not very successful on NTSC, even with the "changes" i made to the pattern it's hard to make it thru level 5-10 and almost no chance in the 11s. Has anyone tested this pattern on a NTSC setup? The main change, i did to the pattern, is around point "D" at the first page: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Pac-Man: Rollage! I looked at the pattern in that book, but it didn't work for me. I had to devise my own. Took forever, so I'm glad it's done. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerpoco Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Well, I guess I'm gonna try to play-got a million things going on, but I'll try to find the time every week, no promises on grinding or anything. Pac-Man-7889 I may look into patterns, was totally playing freestyle, but beat my PB by over a thousand, so is a good start I suppose. I'm just not too good at this port. Best of Luck, Everyone!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 6 hours ago, nads said: Awesome! Did it take you 3hrs too? I think it took me a little longer because my pattern hardly allows me to hunt for ghosts. I grabbed what I could if it was in my path. The only time I got the vitamin was if it popped up at the end of my run. I was probably averaging between 400-500 per board. I'll shoot a video of my pattern and post it later on today. I'd like to see what everyone else came up with too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Here's a pic of the pattern I used for the fastest boards. The wafers left over you can grab by using the tunnel at the end of the run and there's no pattern to that. Other than that, following this pattern got me to rollage. Keep in mind that the blue and pink lines are power pill approximate duration times. It's not exact, but you get the idea. Hope it helps. It's not the cleanest pattern. There is a fair amount of backtracking, but it does work. Edited May 13, 2020 by Deteacher 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern works great but I can never seem to clear up the last few wafers without losing a life, those ghosts are just too fast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I just keep going up and down in the tunnel until they are all clumped together. It can take a few trips through the tunnel. Keep at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
