BornOfFire Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I recently installed a sit down Ms Pacman machine in my store and heard there was a code book that would allow the game to play in turbo, play as regular Mr. Pacman, extra lives, and more. Been searching the internet and just can't find it. I have read thread about people talking about a secert manual with all this stuff in it, but can't find it. Could someone please help. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you You might want to ask in the arcade coin-ops forum. May be a better chance of finding someone there who can answer this. And welcome!

Nukey Shay Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 No code book...but the game's DIP switch settings allow you to change the speed and number of reserve lives. Of course, you'd need to be the machine owner to access these toggle switches. Playing M.A.M.E. at home allows you to change them (as well as a plethora of other cheating options).

I heard from the guy who gave me the machine that there is a manual that has codes to play the orginal pacman on the ms pacman machine and also play in turbo mode and others. I thought if i search the internet i could find it. All I found was this http://www.toolprice.com/product/7787XX which says this "FREE- I will include a "secret" service manual that contains "cheat" codes for free lives, extra games, and hidden settings (like "super speed") in Ms Pac-Man (a $39.95 value FREE)" Someone at my shop said they saw someone playing the machine in turbo a couple of days so I know its out there.

jbanes Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 FREE- I will upgrade the video card to a super VGA (a $300 value FREE) Sounds like either a MAME reproduction cabinet, or a scam. If it's the former, then the "codebook" would simply tell you how to mess with MAME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News to me. But I still think it's complete bunk. Dav? If he has the ms pac/galaga aniversary edition then yes there is a joystick code to play regular pacman and the speed is adjustable in the dip menu. If you have the original ms pacman you can play pacman by removing the ribbon cable that goes from the 40 pin cpu socket to the ms pac daughterboard. Remove the cpu from the daughterboard and place in the main boards now empty cpu socket. The graphics will be a little off but you'll be playing pacman To change the speed on the original one you will need a replacement rom called a speedup chip. The difficulty setting will speedup gameplay also if it's too easy for you. In mame it lists it as a dip switch but on an actual board it's actually a solder pad you'll have to solder. I don't usually read this forum any more I'll try to check it more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awace Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) 1981 with Namco! If game is on coin play, insert a coin(s) to add a credit. Press any start button. The "start" screen will display, allowing you to choose Ms. Pac-Man or Galaga. Make the following moves with the joystick: UP, UP, UP DOWN, DOWN, DOWN LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT P1 (START!!!!!!!!!!!!!) If you did it right, you'll START PLAYING PACMAN The "start" screen will display, allowing you to choose Ms. Pac-Man or Galaga. Make the following moves with the joystick: UP, UP, UP DOWN, DOWN, DOWN LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT If you did it right, you'll see Blinky- the red "ghost"- turn from red to pink ("Pinky"), and hear a corresponding series of tones from the game ("extra life" tone). @ THIS POINT THEN ENTER THE SETTINGS MENU W DIP OR BUTTON! THEN REBOOT THEN LEAVE IN MSPACMAN/GALAGA MODE THEN RE ENTER DIP MODE CAUSE ITS NOT THE SAME AS PACMAN. GOOD LUCK! Press either 1 player or 2 player Ms. Pac-Man button to play regular Pac-Man. The regular Pac-Man game will display and play on the screen. Edited May 28, 2009 by awace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
