When I was playing the fast Pac-Man I picked up, I noticed that the intermissions were wrong. On the first one, big Pac-Man comes out the left side before the ghost has turned blue, then overtakes the ghost, hits the right side of the screen, and wraps back around to the left. On the second, Pac moves off the left side of the screen, and the ghost moves down and left (below the nail) before "catching" and tearing in the wrong position.

I thought this was an issue with the board, but now I think it's just a side effect of the fast Pac. Self-test on my board passes. I played a fast Pac at an arcade, and it does the same thing as mine.

I guess this is just an artifact of the speed-up. Is there a fix for it?
 
That's normal for turbo Pac. I think someone made a ROM hack that fixes it, but I don't remember which one it is.
