A few general questions regarding Pac/Ms. Pac games?
What is the purpose of the Filter Board in pac-based games? I have one in my cab and cannot tell the difference between running the game with or without this board. My manual states that it is "optional" and a "service option". What does this mean?
Also, a question regarding EPROMs/PROMs on various pac-based boards. I know that all pac-based boards use the same mainboard with different EPROMs/PROMs or daughter boards on them. Are the two "piggyback" boards generic and interchangeable on all machines or do they differ? I recently acquired a non-working Glob board and am trying to fix it. Can I take the piggyback boards from one mainboard and use it on another with another?
Finally, outside of the EPROMs/PROMs that are changed out with various pac variants, are there any other differences between the other components on the main boards?
I am fairly new to pac games, so if this information is already out there, I apologize. Links would be appreciated. I have done a lot of surfing, but can't seem to find the info that I am looking for. I check BR's FAQ section and other common sites.
Thanks,
Dane
