Anyone have a board for the original pac man? I've found a place that has an original Pacman cab and everything, but someone stuck a Ms. Pacman board in there. I'm assuming i can just replace the one board and it will work fine?
Or, if anyone has a multipac board for sale, i'd take that too.

Hi
If you have a working original ms pac board DO NOT buy a pac board, they are the same board :)
you should buy that 96-in-1 kit I mentioned that would let you play all the games.
Ms Pac was just an upgrade to already existing pac board basically, you can easily convert it back to a pac board by buying roms, hell I could probably convert it for it , but the kit is awesome and would give you the option of playing many variations.

I believe I have a fully tested, working, ORIGINAL MIDWAY Pac-Man board (with the fast pac mod--one that I could replace with the original speed). I need to double check to ensure I havn't already sold it and forgot though.
$190 including UPS ground insured, trackable shipping with signature required delivery to any of the 48 continental states in the U.S.
I also have a Pac-Man Plus board available for $180 shipped with the same terms as above. (This is the one with disappearing ghosts, pop cans and grape fruit, maze disappears, etc.. the followup to Pac-man. Same Pac-Man board but with a daughter card (blob) and new game and graphic and color PROMs.
But the other poster is correct. So long as they didn't put in a pirated/bootleg Ms.Pac board or done horrible hacks on the board to run Ms.Pac illegally, then you don't need a new board. HOWEVER you do need to replace 6 chips on the board to play pac-man, and remove the daughter card and move the CPU back to the main board.
I can post info if you need it. However a complete picture of your board would be needed before I could provide any help.

What he said,
I have a Pac Man that come with a non working board. I found a guy on eBay called, phingston, that traded my board for a working one for around $70 I think. when two bits wanted $250 to repair my old one!!

Is there a site that I could go to that has the 96 games so i could see what they are?

The 96-in-1 is not legal to own (it violates Namco's copyrights) but here is the site turned up by google:
