ten-four Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Eduardo... You are just one in a million that take care for us ColecoVision fans all over the world. That MegaCart looks very professional. Hi Pac, -see you in August 2007. You are the best to clone the early arcade-games we CV people loves...

opcode Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi guys, Just a new update: - Pac-Man is currently in beta. - I finished checking the Ms Pac-Man code, it's quite stable now. Sound was completely revised and I can say it sounds as close to the arcade game as possible for a CV. Truly beautiful. - Ms Pac-Man still needs some maze graphics rework but it should be done by the end of this month. After that Ms Pac-Man is also going beta testing. - This time we are taking extra care to have proper beta testing, so in addition to myself, we will have three other guys play testing Pac-Man Collection for more than two months before it gets released. - Both games will be merged and migrated to the MegaCart next month, so Pac-Man Collection is still pretty much on schedule for its August release. It has been a long, long development, and I apologize for it taking so long. But it is almost here now guys. Eduardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hey Ed, for some strange reason I tested the demo of PMC in "ColEm 2.0" and the game worked fine. Even with an actual joystick being enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hey Ed, for some strange reason I tested the demo of PMC in "ColEm 2.0" and the game worked fine. Even with an actual joystick being enabled. What does this demo do exactly, and more importantly, what does it NOT do? Does it let you play both Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, or does it just display the root menu of the cart, with game selection options disabled?

NightSprinter Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Well, it's more importantly what the demo rom does NOT do. I know Ed is aware of it, but in every other Colecovision emulator the game would refuse to boot to the opening demo screen (character introductions) if the joystick was set to a real PC controller. BlueMSX actually refused to run it outright with or without a PC joystick assigned. If the PC controller was disabled, the demo ran fine. Marat Fayullzin's ColEM is so far the only one that ran it WITH a PC game controller just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV Gus Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 How is this game going? And how can you make Ms. Pac man look better then it does in your website? Buy this game, people! 3 for 35 bucks?! You don't do better than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 How is this game going? And how can you make Ms. Pac man look better then it does in your website? It won't look any better, but it will sound much better. I personally tried the latest private build of Ms. Pac-Man recently, and the sound output has been improved tremendously. I guarantee you'll enjoy Ms. Pac-Man for the music and sound effects alone! Aside from that, Eduardo is working hard on getting PMC ready for its mid-August release. We're on schedule so far.

CV Gus Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 What do the other mazes look like in Ms. Pac man? His website only has that one. Are the dots different colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 What do the other mazes look like in Ms. Pac man? His website only has that one. Are the dots different colors? The mazes are all the same as the arcade version, if I'm not mistaken. Diffferent colored dots? I never noticed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV Gus Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 No, no, no, I mean what do they look like, the colors? The colors of the dots in the one in the maze in his website (the first board) are white, are they always white in the other 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opcode Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Still can't display the color pink /nitpick After making more than a billion dollars in quarters, Pac-Man and the ghosts bought a private island in the Caribbean. That is why they all look so tanned now. Eduardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hello... Well, I am sorry to inform that all work on PMC has been halted since late May due to health problems. It seems like I am starting to recover now, so I should resume work sometime soon. I am not quite in the mood yet, and maybe I will need a couple of weeks till I feel emotionally recovered. Right now I feel like I have aged 20 years and cannot see much fun on anything. Eduardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opcode Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hi guys, Good news: major development of Pac-Man Collection was completed today. The game now uses the MegaCart and includes all 3 arcade games. We are now entering beta, which will probably last till January or February. Packaging was sent to the printer in Brazil 2 weeks ago, so everything looks promising for a release in February/March. Here is what you will get: - Cartridge, box, manual, everything professionally printed - Two arcade-perfect ports, Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man, PLUS a few surprises - The biggest ColecoVision game ever, uses the new MegaCart and 128KB of ROM We will start reservation for Pac-Man Collection soon. First 80 or so pre-orders will receive a special edition pac-yellow cartridge. Road Fighter was completed a couple of months ago, cartridges have been assembled and we are now waiting for the package to come back from the printer. Probably will see a release in January, once we receive the printed package. Screenshots, movies, pictures, etc to follow soon...

duncantoml Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 That's great news on both games. I can't wait! I'll be watching for the reservation list for Pac-Man Collection. Got to have one of the Yellow ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Here is a picture showing the MegaCart PCB (created by Bryan) and a Pac-Man Collection cartridge (label is a mock-up, as we haven't received the final labels yet).

NightSprinter Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Put me up for a reservation on the game as well. Would be nice to see a version of the two games for the good ol' CV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
