I was trying to find out which bad ROM I had and I discovered this in the chip at 6N:

Some of the other chips have ghost names (that aren't visible on screen) such as MAD DOG and KILLER!

So- some of the ROMS I searched for on RomID came back as

Mame Zip: mspacman"
FileName: "BOOT5"
Mame Zip: mspacsup"
FileName: "6KL"
Mame Zip: mspucman"
FileName: "MP5"

Can anybody send me a .zip with all the mspacsup ROMS? Half of my crap doesn't match up. I may just go ahead and unbox my Mike Doyle 96-in-1 kit and remove all hassle.

Thanks-
 
Mad dog, killer.....
I have a bootleg board with those alt names on them. Midway didnt program any alt names although the board is jumpered to select them. I have seen many different variations of the alt names with bootleg boards.

That Nakamura message has been documented before. There was a post a while back about this.

Many of the bootlegs I've seen use the names from the original Japanese Puckman. I've got 3 bootleg Pac-Man boards, 2 are Pac-Man clone boards that have the jumper for the alt names (one had it jumpered, one didn't), The other one is one of the Galaxian hacks, and uses the alt names (with no jumper that I'm aware of)
