I'm sorry... I'm not trying to be cruel, but you clearly have no idea what you are doing....
Why don't you step back, pull out the Pac schems, and try to understand what the hack is first. Read the ROMs that came on the board and figure out what it's running (my guess is that it is a bootleg MsPac set, but I think we already covered that in another thread).
Yep your right I don't know. That's why I am asking questions. How that could be seen as cruel idk at least you gave some advise. That's progress as far as I am concerned. Anyway I am reading the instructions that I have and to this point I have followed what they say I belive.
Here take a look at some of them...

These images are used for converting a Pacman board to Ms.Pacman using
2532 EPROMs.

I think I have followed the instructions to the tee (so far)? This is where I am to this point. Now....

Here is where it gets confusing at... I will post the whole set of instructions!

* The Pacman/Ms.Pacman CHEAT works like this:
- Hold down "select Player 1" button to make you invisible to the colored pacman.
You can pass right thru any attaching pacman.
- Hold down "select Player 2" button to speed up (only works in normal ROMs;
if you are using the fast ROM images, this option does not work).

So what would be the next step to get mspac running? Dave says I have 4 to many roms? Ok but I only see two based on the instructions above. The 2 extra were already solder to the board in row 5 before I touched it. I asked if I should un solder them and remove all the jumper wires?
Then Dave went on to say that I have two extras in row 6 meaning 6K & 6L okay but as a refer back to the instructions they are required?
Mabe somebody else can shed a little more light based on the instructions? Clearly it is a little confusing and not newbie proof. I belive I have followed the instructions to this point. I also have a board thats up and running garbage that did not work at all. So thats not to bad so far and I know I still have a few kinks to work out. Oh where did I go wrong???
Flame away!!!
