Whats the cheapest mod to only play Pacman and Ms Pacman on the same board ? No speed up or other games , just Pac and Mspac .
 
I think there's a multi board out with all the classic pac games on it, I'm not sure if there's anything that just plays thos two
 
Souzilla/Madrits came up with a 4 in 1 (pac/mspac, slow/fast) that also saves top 5 scores for each game. Simple and cheap. I don't think there's a way to disable the fast variants. I'm very happy with it in my ms pac.

I was wondering about the accuracy. Can you tell me if there is any difference in game play from the original Pac/Ms. Pac boards?

I am running that hack with no problems. There is a cheat mode though and you need to make sure its disabled, otherwise youll find yourself running thru ghosts sometimes.
 
ive seen that board on ebay for $100. it runs on jamma though so its not plug and play on an original pac/ms pac

You can do the hack for next to nothing on an original PCB. Or find one already hacked. I bought mine direct from Souzilla but I'm not sure if he sells them all the time or not. I'm pretty sure Riptor does.
 
I'll second Mark's 6-pac (hudsonarcade on here). Cheap and you get a screen saver to boot. I'm an idiot, so Mark installed mine for me. Been running it for about a year now, no problems.

No high score save, though I really don't care. We use recipe cards.
 
I don't know who's hack it is, but the local classic arcade has one of those hardware ones with the toggle switches that lets you switch between Pac and Ms Pac, and turbo and regular. That one doesn't alter the AI, at least not on Pac-Man, as my patterns still work on regular speed. I have seen another one, I have no idea who did it, but it's in a Ms Pac at a local laundromat, it also included Pac-Man Plus, that one did alter the AI...I remember seeing the ghosts come out of the pen on Pac-Man Plus and go up the T. I'll have to go back and check out that cab again and see if I can see any info on the title screen. I didn't know much about add-on kits when I looked at it a couple years ago.

Riptor sells boards modified with the 4-in-1 that have the menu. If you have a board it is the cheapest mod. You get fast and slow of both games.
 
i have no knowlege or expierence in moding boards, but i do have an original ms pac thats already been set up to play fast only. id definatly like to be able to play all 4 versions on the one system
 
I have the 4-in-1 mod in my Pac, but maybe I am a little biased :)
It has high score save (top 5) independant for each game, free play/ coin with attract mode and on screen dip settings and can be done for free

I have also had the 96-in-1 in the past and love it http://home.everestkc.net/mdoyle/multipac.htm - $145 shipped

I have not played Spaeth's 6Pac but seems popular on here and easy to install - $75 not sure if it includes shipping or not

of course, the only difference is that it stays in attract mode after dropping coins instead of going to the "Press Start" screen

does it still play on quarters or is it free play?

man, i really want to put this in my ms pac now.

Thanks to Souzilla for this hack. It works great. I created a video of the working of the game and how the hack looks because I couldn't find one when I was deciding if i wanted to hack my board or not. This was really simple to do and the parts were much cheaper than buying a multi pac kit.
:-D
