NamcoPlayer Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) 45 minutes ago, jeremiahjt said: So the only way to play this one is through an emulator? Well, I looked and there is a custom 7800 cartridge at the AtariAge store, but only supports up to 32KB and less, and looking at the file sizes, Pac-Man 40th Anniversary Collection is 129KB, meaning that the game doesn't fit in with the custom 7800 cartridge. In case you were wondering, all you do is send a binary to AtariAge of what game you want to put on the cartridge, so nope. I think a cart is coming out soon, or not. Usually, all of the works made by Pac-ManPlus are usually can be bought via cart, like Pac-Man Collection, Super Pac-Man, Scramble, yada yada yada, so nope again. Plus, homebrews and hacks are not allowed without the creator's consent. Edited January 1, 2021 by NamcoPlayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Since I just pulled the trigger on getting a Concerto, I figure I'd try my hand at the 7800 HSC. I hope to be able to get some real hardware scores in soon, but for now, here's my paltry submission for PMC 40th: 25,320. This version is very hard! Took me several tries to get this score! Looks like the emulator saves screenshots as .bmp files. I'll convert it and post it shortly. Edited January 1, 2021 by Deteacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Any trick to getting the rom to run? I am using the ProSystem emulator and when I load it, it just goes to a black screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dauber Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) 45,120 Is there a version of this with sound that will run on the Concerto? The version linked here and the one from Trebor's pack both are silent for me. Edited January 2, 2021 by Dauber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like what is indeed happening, as the 'XM ENHANCED' logo wouldn't be there if it didn't 'detect' the XM/YAMAHA. Try this one, it's 'forced' to use the TIA sounds.

toiletunes Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Some people say Kaboom requires 100% concentration to play well, or that you achieve a trancelike state by focusing on the action. I feel something similar here. The gameplay is familiar, but the mazes are unknown. 34,570. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 So this version scores differently than Pac Man on the Bob D. Pac Man Collection for 7800? Because it looks like i could select the same modes. "Reserved" a concerto but my number hasn't come up yet. TY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know as well. I'm assuming we have to play the 40th anniversary version, but if the games are the same it'd be cool to play regular Pac Man Collection, since I actually have that cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll NEVER get me to believe that's TIA sound I'm hearing and not the onboard POKEY on my Concerto! Holy CRAP!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Oh...and updated score. 63,090 (Lucked out on a couple of bonus items and got all four monsters!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 30,610! Managed to hit the 30K goal. Now, if I can get to the 2nd intermission, I'll be happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
