Ms. Pacman Question
SnoopKatt:
It's just a Ms. Pacman, but I figured that Pacman would probably run on it as well. That second PCB looks pretty close to what I have.
Thanks for all the input guys! Maybe I'll look into one of those Jamma multi-game boards.
JODY:
There are several chips / add on boards to turn a Pacman or Ms. Pacman into a multi-game board. The games then run on the original hardware. One example is Mike Doyle's 96 in 1. I have one of these installed in a Ms. Pacman cocktail. http://home.everestkc.net/mdoyle/multipac.htm
There are others that have fewer games. Mike is working on a newer version of his board to keep high scores separate for the fast vs. regular versions of games. You do not need to replace the original board or Mame it to get more games. To run on original hardware, you are limited to what will run. Also, most games are not as simple as just changing a ROM. There are color PROMs needed to get the right colors, etc.
These chips / add on boards do not have the emulation issues, sound problems, etc. experienced by the JAMMA multi-game boards.

Hey guys read the OP posts. He is not asking about MS Pacman and Pacman. He is asking about Dig Dug, Donkey Kong and Space Invaders. No multi pac board is going to help out here. He has already figured out that multi pacs are possible.
SnoopKatt:
It's all good; extra information is always useful. Thanks!

Pac to JAMMA adapter and a 60-in-1 is the cheapest and easiest solution to get you what you want.
