I'm running Mame 132 and although I'm not getting any game resets I'm finding that the controls suck!!! They aren't responsive at all like they are in other games. If I make a movement before I get to a passage it moves ok. If I hit a wall and then move to one side it just sits there half the time. Older 4-way classics play perfectly however.

Haze:

that's more likely a game design issue than an emulation issue.  Modern games have more input lag, it's unfortunate and pisses a lot of people off but often comes as the result of more complex hardware designs and higher level programming.

Just had my best game, I didn't die until level nine or so, the one with the hedges, and then boom.  Too many damn ghosts.

I think the control problem is mainly with how pacman appears to move.  His turns are more graphic and fluid, instead of instant and sharp.

Plays fine for me though, but 5 ghosts is tough (especially that big blue bastard that splits in two...)

To be fair I just tried it with the keyboard only. And it plays fine. Earlier I was playing on my desk PC with a Playstation 2 controller using the analogue stick to move. This works fine for every other game in Mame (so far anyway) but for the arrangements in Namco Classics it sucks. Dunno why.  :dunno

275,540!!!

I got to a later level earlier, but the screenshot didn't take.  After awhile the fruit turn into this golden red umbrella looking thingy worth 5000 points, and your score really racks up.
