Super Ms. Pac-Man?!?

Pinball Wizard arcade in Pelham NH has a Super Ms Pac-Man board that has all different mazes that I'd never seen before (they weren't the Ms Pac Attack ones). Too bad he doesn't have a photo of the board actually working or I could see if it was the same mazes.
 
No, the maze wasn't anything like Super Pac-Man. It just had different mazes, although the 4th maze was swapped into the 3rd one (and 4 extra dots added in the tunnels). I took pics of all 4 mazes. I tried to recreate them using an old program called "Turaco", which let you edit Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man mazes (I think that's where alot of the hacks on MisfitMAME came from), but they must have reprogrammed the location of the energizers too (something Turaco doesn't let you do). So my recreations were slightly different. Now I have no idea if the boards for sale in the ebay auction linked above are the same or not, but here's the title screen and the 4 mazes on the one at Pinball Wizard Arcade:

If anyone is interested in this, there is one with this variation for sale in DeLand, FL (near Daytona Beach). I went and looked at it a month ago. It was bundled with a Gyruss in generic cab and they wanted $600 for both. The Ms Pac cab was beyond rough, however. I played it, and noticed that the fruit would follow the path it would normally take on a regular Ms Pac board. It would float thru the walls of the altered boards. Different, but also very weird.
 
Wow, that's fascinating! Thanks! I never knew that.
If you could give me the file or link to that hacker, I would greatly appreiate it. I can't find a download anywhere and it sounds great.

Yes, I was looking for the program.
There is a Ms. Pac-Attack and a fake version of Ms. Pac-Man Plus on MAME.
I ordered an extension to turn Ms. Pac-Man into Ms. Pac-Man plus, or MISS PACKMAN PLUS as it says on the title screen. :p
