Here's something I've been playing around with lately (Daywane already knows about it). It's a bootable floppy image that runs Vantage and GameLauncher (kind-of). Right now here's what it does: Creates a ramdisk X Unzips Vantage to X Unzips GameLauncher to X Copies any rom zips you've got in the roms folder to X Copies any samples over to X Runs MsPacMan (if you've got the rom) Runs GameLauncher, then craps out. I can't get GameLauncher to run anything. I've been trying a bunch of different stuff, but no dice. Here's the floppy image: http://www.joymonkey.com/misc/vantage-floppy2.exe (no roms are included with this, you need to put compatible Vantage roms into the roms folder- you've got about 210kb for roms). Give it a whurl if you get a chance and see what you think. I'd love to know what the problem with GameLauncher is. ??? Sound should work if you've got a standard old ISA soudblaster. It doesn't touch your C drive, so it's safe to run on any machine. Edit: This disk would be great for those really old PCs out there, even the ones with no hard drive. I reckon it would run on a 486 with 8mb of RAM. If GameLauncher would work, that is. |

We'll see, this is still in the early stages of planning. Anyone have any good links to the pacman artwork? Detailed plans? PAcMame seems like a good sollution, we'll see. Any other comments are thoughts are welcome. Thanks, Doug. |

Go to Jakobuds site www.jakobud.com for the cabinet, and the art library http://www.localarcade.com/arcade_art for the art. |

Stop everything! Forget pacman. What you want is MOONWALKER. |
| the3eyedblindman:
HaHa, the original moonwalker sideart and CPO would be impossible to find, Ive looked online. A Pacman would be relatively cheap and easy to do though.. My debate is this, another debate I have is..Mrs. Pacman or Pacman? |
