ROM hack to make Pac-Man (fast) have working intermissions?

Has anyone done this already? The intermissions work properly with the Ms. Pac-Man speed hack version, but not with the Pac-Man speed hack version. Curious if anyone has made it them work properly in Pac-Man.
 
I think Spaeth fixed them for the 6 Pac. It never bothered me enough to fix it.

I'm not positive Spaeth's hack is publicly available but I've seen it referenced on a site with Pac code disassembled. I was thinking about playing around with some of the pac code hacks eventually, so if I get Jason's 4-1 mame driver I may try to put that hack in. I'll try to remember to let you know if I ever do, Gary.

I found that code on the web. I don't have the link handy on my phone. I may go ahead and try to apply the change to the regular speedhack and then worry about getting it into Souza's ROMs.
 
Finally got around to this morning. I fixed Souza's 4n1 to have normal intermission during speedhack/fast Pac-Man. It's a bit different than the Widel's 96-in-1 fix (posted a properly checksummed version in another thread) since Souza modified the code to run speed hack and regular out of the same code with conditionals.

I'll test in my 4n1 board tonight and post the changes for Pac-Man's birthday! Didn't realize it was the birthday until after I had done the patch. :)

Thanks Jason for making misfit mame support 4n1! Made this all much easier.
