PacManPlus Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi: Being that Namco isn't really doing anything for Ms. Pac-Man's 30th anniversary, I pulled a quick one over this weekend. Please note: 1 - Unfortunately for this version, Ms. Pac-Man has a Blue ribbon and lipstick. That's what limited colors can do to you. 2 - The Maze Colors are off too, for the same reason above. This is another 'pokey detecting' program Enjoy! Bob MsPac320.A78 MsPac320.bin MsPac320P.A78 MsPac320P.bin MsPac320Pokey.A78 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, you once again do not cease to amaze. THANK YOU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I can't wait for a 7800 flash/sd cart of some kind... i know I could emulate, but I feel silly with my 78 right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr. Pac Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Awesome! When I play Ms. Pac 320 Pokey, it crashes after I eat 5 dots... Nice work, Bob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I can't wait for a 7800 flash/sd cart of some kind... I know I could emulate, but I feel silly with my 78 right there. It would be nice to test this stuff on a real Atari 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys! Awesome! When I play Ms. Pac 320 Pokey, it crashes after I eat 5 dots... Nice work, Bob! oops - same issues as the crash for Pac320 - the Random number generator. I've fixed that, (and a 'reverse' issue - they were still doing the 'Pac-Man' type reverse), and posted the new bins in the first post. Thanks again, Bob Thanks for the screen shots!!! (I always forget that) EDIT - There was a movement issue, so I again replaced the bins in the posts.

gorfcadet Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 What pallete is Ms Pac working out of? I've got color wheels spinning in my head. 78 color limits aside that is just amazing... I never would have imagined it back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Bob - one quick note, this has always bothered me, watch the intermission on Ms Pac Man arcade, when Ms Pac and Pac meet in the center, and both go up, when the two ghosts bumped into each other, there is a "knock" kind of sound when they hit each other and its been left out of every Ms Pac home version I've ever seen and for once, I'd love to see a home version have that one minor sound added in. BTW - the 320 versions of Pac and Ms Pac are incredible, need to get you out the final XM dev design to you to do some real hardware debugging...

Trebor Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Bob, I noticed the Act number is outside the 'Act box': Is this fixable or an unfortunately limitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Thank guys - The 'knock' actually is there in the Pokey Code, it's just out of time with the animation. I'll see if I can change that - I actually moved the Act number because of the transparency issue (or lack of it). The number wasn't showing up underneath the clapboard. Thanks, Bob EDIT - I have changed the animation to get the 'knock' (Pokey version only) as close as possible. It's still slightly off, but close enough. Updates in first post. Thanks!
