![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Judging by the code line preceding this area (among other factors), this is almost certainly where the secret "Hello, Nakamura!" message was in the original arcade ROM - a message that is entirely missing from the Arcade1UP data. Pac-Man ROM, from addresses $0x57D0-$0x57FF there are three lines of blank spaces, in a pattern that does not appear in the original code. In addition, there are some graphics that clearly relate to test menus of some type ("Key Fail/Success" screens, checksum tests, etc) it is unknown how to enable the tests on the machine itself. This folder features the graphics for the menu system. The only game listed in its code that was included as a ROM is Pac-Mania. A whopping 22 games in NS1's file: Galaga '88, Dragon Spirit, Blast Off, Blazer, Dangerous Seed, Rompers, Puzzle Club (the prototype?), Quester, Quester Special Edition, Baraduke II, Berabow Man, Marchen Maze, Shadowland, Splatterhouse, Pistol Shogun, Tank Force, Boxy Boy, World Court, World Stadium, World Stadium '89, World Stadium '90, and Face Off.The Tower of Druaga and Motos in Mappy's file.Note that the first three games were not produced by Namco. Moon Cresta, Super Moon Cresta, UniWar S, and King & Balloon in Galaxian's file.Additionally, some of these files make reference to, and have support for, even more games in their code (though there are seemingly no ROM files relating to them). The bottom of these files mention "Raspbian 6.3", a variant of the Raspberry Pi OS. In addition, there are some separate ELF files for the games. On the 82 builds, however, there are 15 total ROMs (many of which are not accessible on the actual machines): In the 82 builds, the ROMs included are only the ones for their specific menu. As such, they are basically ROM dumps of the entire machines and feature notable unused elements, as seen below. In the Arcade1UP firmware updates, all of the data is intact including the games, menu system, and various other elements of code. In attempt to make up for the drastic issue, Arcade1UP not only took down and recompiled the updates, but also added the ability to play the much-desired "speed-up chip" version of Ms. On the "Head-to-Head" model in particular, installing the update would cause the screen to display in horizontal resolution meaning, on the machine's vertical monitor, the games would play 90 degrees on their side. Arcade1UP attempted to fix the issues via downloadable firmware updates.which made things much, much worse. Pac-Man Arcade1UPs were first released, they.had some issues, to say the least. ![]()
