Title: Jr Pac Man Speed
Post by: ramos8414 on August 31, 2013, 10:53:31 pm
Is there a Jr pacman speed up hack rom. Or is there a way to automatically enable the speed up hack using the Cheats.zip?

Same question was asked here. (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,95446.msg1004529.html#msg1004529)

But more info on how to get it to work can be found here. (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,113641.msg1303560.html#msg1303560)

You get checksum errors as described here, (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,93556.msg1303558.html#msg1303558) but when you use a front end I believe it doesn't care.  I ended up running the original in my gamelist with this hack, and then a clone at normal speed.  (or vice versa can't remember).  That way there are two different versions on my gamelist in my frontend.  The fast version (with 3 lives) and the slow version (with 5 lives).

FYI, fast Jr. Pacman was recently added to Mame. Rom name is jrpacmanf I believe. No fancy tricks needed anymore! ;)

It didn't work.

Would you be able to use the new version of MAME 0.149 for that game - figure if you use the new MAME version thenthe new ROM would work but not sure whether having 2 different versions would work for you.

I think I will upgrade to mame .149 when I have time.
