Ms pacman is actually pacman with a daughter board and different roms!?!
 
identical. correct. a diagnostic tool you can use if you suspect a bad ribbon cable between the boards is to unplug the daughterboard, and the Z80 installed in it, and place the Z80 in its place. if the game boots up properly to Pac-Man with slightly incorrect player sprites, then you know the main board is good.

far out, right?
 
Better yet, take the main PAC board and daughtercard etc and add the HSS kit. Wowzers!!!

No kidding...well that explains why I have this ms pacman daughter board as part of the bundle of boards I bought. It was loose while I have two pacman boards of unknown working order.
Things to do, things to do. I now officially have more projects then I know what to do with. I need to get cracking!
Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!

oh you should fix a bunch and document the process. pacman is another board (like centipede) that's a decent board to learn to fix on. I think centipede is more "friendly" to fix but pacman is also a great board to fix with good schematics and lots of 3rd party resources, and the boards are fairly inexpensive and there are tons of them around.
 
it's my belief Pac-Man will be one of the last games to survive. if not the last.

does anyone else ponder the doomsday scenario when all the hardware fails?
 
No I don't hehe. With a large group of people like this around there will always be boards working! Well at least while I'm alive anyway.

Ya I have a ton of boards that I bought from a guy and they are all busted in one way or another I'm sure. You guys are right though, best way to start out in this hobby is with pacman or donkey kong. Tons of write ups and pictures for peeps like me just getting started. Building my jamma adaptor today to see if the board I have powers up this weekend. But first I need to clean my work bench off...dammit!
