We've got like 26 pacman boards around, and I'm trying to get a few going. Due to all the info out there, it's not so bad, except for one problem I keep running into. If I try to put a normal (not speed) f6 rom into a board, I always get ROM 1 BAD. It's possible that all the F6 normal Roms we have are bad, I suppose. But I've got like half a dozen of them. It seems odd they would ALL be bad. These are games that work just fine with a speedy ROM in them. The first board I brushed off, because it had Hangly Man ROMs. But I've tried another 6 or 7 boards, and 4 or 5 will work, just not with the F6's I have. Don't have a burner that can do 2532's, only 2732's. And switching the pins around seems kind of a pain in the butt. Am I missing something obvious? I'm running Ms. ROMs, but that shouldn't matter.
 
Legit Roms. 6 in total, four and two in two columns. Although, they're not masked, so....? Could find one with 8 sockets, if that would help.
 
Using the original Pac-Man ROMs and the auxiliary board, or the mod where the aux board is eliminated and all the roms are present on the main pcb ? Which might have been what HudsonArcade was getting at as well.

There are 6 ROMs on Row 6? There is no daughtercard?
There should only be 4 sockets on the main board if it's a standard legit board.

In that case you have a Ms. Pac running the bootleg ROMs that run on Row 6 with two extra sockets. A regular Pac 6F won't work for that, as the bootleg ROMs are different to accommodate the Ms. Pac patches.
