Does anyone know how to modify the game text temporarily? My friend bought a Ms. Pacman for his girlfriend and is using it as part of his marriage proposal. I know many people have modified the game in ways but I was wondering if someone would modify a chip for me so that the game displays a specific text.

That's a cool idea. :) It's beyond my ability to do, but I would think it wouldn't be terribly hard for someone with code knowledge to do. I'm guessing you'd have to know which rom contains the programming for the on screen text and figure out how to modify it. Hopefully someone here knows.
 
Don't know if this will help, but there is a nice program editor where you can change ghost names on Pac or Ms Pac, perhaps your friend could do something with it. Here's the link: http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~msilvius/sillyarcade.htm
The editor is contained in a zip labeled Pacname5.zip. Instead of changing the ghost names he'd have 4 lines of text where he could write something, I think you only get 7 characters per line though. For example on the 1st line he could put "Mary" 2nd line "would u" 3rd line "marry" 4th line "me?" If he figures something out I could burn the chip for him.

you would probably need to modify the ROM itself.

LMK if this program does not work, i might be able to help. what timeframe?
 
You can use any hex editor to do this... just make sure the string has the same number of characters as thr original
