Ms. Pacman Question

(1/2) > >>

SnoopKatt:
Hey,
I was looking at my Ms. Pacman tabletop machine (AKA the cocktail model), and I noticed the chips were removable inside. I have a EPROM burner that is probably compatible with the chips on there (I'm guessing it uses 2732 or 2716 chips?), and I wanted to see if I could put on different games, like Dig Dug or Donkey Kong. Is this possible? What type of chips would I need?
Thanks!

BobA:
Ms Pacman and Dig Dug are not even by the same manufacturer.  The boards share nothing in common so no the ROMS are not interchangeable.

The only way to get multiple games on a cocktail is to replace the board with a multi board or mame the cocktail.

SnoopKatt:
Thanks for the quick response! Good to know. Would other Midway/Namco games work, like Space Invaders, or is this PCB only good for Pacman/Ms. Pacman?

Thanks!

BobA:
Games of that vintage are for the most part defined by the PC board not the roms so changing roms to change games is usually not possible.  There are a few PC board where the game was upgraded to another game with roms but that was rare.

Wait, you have a board that has both games or this one? (Ms. Pac-Man)



For a ROM swap without changing the PCB, there is a speedup hack mentioned here.
