That does look amazing!  :applaud:

I may have missed it, but what did you make the box out of?

The box is made of 10mm MDF. It measures 70cm x 50 cm (27" x 20"). I used the bottom part as a template to route two pieces of plexi. The black edge is just a aluminum corner profile painted black.

Again... this is so cool.

I think it's amazing that you coded your own version of the game itself.

My son saw the commercial for "Wreck-It-Ralph" the other day and asked if I could put it on his machine.  I told him the game didn't really exist.

Reading your thread makes me want to code my own.

Great job!  :cheers:

Joined JUST to test this and just say in the almost 25 years I have been in the Arcade Industry this is one of the most incredible Projects I have ever seen. (in scope and in execution)

That Said running solid 60 FPS on:
Phenom II X6  1090T Black Edition
16GB DDR 3 Ram
Geforce GT 240 (X2 in SLI)

Going to give it a whirl on the Media Center PC as well.

Wow!!! Every aspect of your project is unbelievable. The cabinet is beautifully done and the game looks spot on. Congratulations.

I tested the third version that you posted, and I got 58 fps in an i7 3770k (no overclock) with on board video. Are you still accepting beta testers? :drool

Anyway, congratulations again.

This is just getting better and better. I know I'm just repeating what others have already said, but for one person to execute the whole software/hardware thing is a rarity. The effort put into this is truly astounding and will no doubt be commended. So good to see someone going the extra mile!  :applaud:

Frames: 3597 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 59.950 - Min: 58 - Max: 62

Core2Quad 9800gt windows7 x64 4gb ram.

Runs much better on my desktop frame rate wise but looks the same to me. My monitor only does 1680x1050 so not 1080p. The pacman is off set so it is hard to tell where I am on the map. When I run into the other player and they bounce off each other, my player slows down to about half for the rest of the test.

Man, you are awesome, I wish I knew how to just program a game like this. Your wood working is amazing too. If you need anymore testing done, let me know.

This was actually done last year, but I have been too busy with other projects. Here is a video of the cabinet in action, complete with blinky buttons.

Yes, for sure. I already had one cpu player. Shouldn't be hard to make that 3. And I like the new statistics at the end of the game. And the crown of course

How close is your version to the arcade version then Sjaak?, i take it the ghosts and other pac-men have different behavior to the arcade version?

I have played the arcade version a bit, but i guess its too late to be a 'Beta tester' for this now  :'(??

Finally got to play PMBR at an arcade in Disney Orlando yesterday. They had two tabletops, and on one, two joysticks were set to eight – way. Pretty sad.

Really fun, though. I got to play it and Fix-it Felix with my nephew and I was bragging about Sjaak's builds.  :)

No, didn't get to play the deluxe version. I thought they had one there (Based on a video walk-through from a few months ago) but I may have just missed it somehow. Would've liked to try it out.

The game is nowhere near completion, graphics code isn't optimized at all, there debugging information all over the screen. But you can move two blocks around a maze and bump into each other (use the arrow keys for one and aswd for the other).

The game only runs on 1920x1080 Full HD resolution, so you need a PC/Graphic card that can handle that. There will not be a version which supports other resolutions.

To run the game, you need the following runtimes
Microsoft .NET Framework 4
Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0

You might also need DirectX 9.0c
DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

For performance measuring you can use Fraps

And of course you need the game as well.

I would like to get some input on all the various machines it runs on, so if you get it running, let me know what processor/graphic card/windows version/directx version you have and how it performs.

I've only seen three versions of the game on this thread. The game is running perfectly fine on my computer. I'm running an i7 2600K with a GTX 570 Superclocked HD. The resolution was not a issue for me either. Any word on when we can get proper playable version of the game? I know that your currently working on Banana Royale, to avoid the Namco copyright problems, etc.

Sjaak,
         finally started building my pacman-battle royal replica. I know I contacted you asking how to mount the monitor...(been slacking off all summer). But here's a quick pic. Will start a thread soon.
I do have some more side pieces cut, just not in this pic.

Not sure I want to mount all 4-joysticks permanently, maybe have a removable side control panel when in use.

Working on a version of the software with customizable graphics, sounds and levels for the Banana Royale contest. I did some testing with alternate graphics.

What if Pac Man Battle Royale had been released in 1987.......
