My friend's name is Rob, he went on several coin op shopping trips for his arcade den, and yep, he bought Ms Pac, at my insistence, he's even worked on it from behind, but needed a mirror to see resulting repairs on the image up front! haha
hay got video of my ms-pac dont know if you look at it but do you know that the big white rectangal resisster at to board sould match stamp in back juat above the door i beleve ....any how i only see 4 digits you have 1 of the first 10,000 ms-pac made ,,there was a 110 made first year more then any other game histary ,,,my 53000 what you say Robert
btw rob, i dont have those games anymore, i axed PP and space encounters and sold the parts. i now have a dedicated pac, neogeo (jamma), gorf cocktail, galaxian, and a galaga in a pac cab (currently being redone to a galaga)
hey rob my pac is starting to do the same thing now, i was told that there could be a cold solder joint on the green drive transistor or the green gun is weak. uum mine had two probs contributing to it, cold solder joint on the drive transistor plus the Edge connector needed replacing. have you ever done an edge connector replacement on it? i would check your monitor for cold solder joints. is that a wells 4600 by chance?
@Bugsbunnyskooling101 I watched the video on your page and I've never seen anything quit like that. I began to take my Ms. Pac apart simply to adjust the color, that's when I got the idea to make this video. When I last visited my Ms. Pac, the color was looking good! I'm not familiar with replacing the Edge connector, sorry.
you know rob, i was told by someone as i had the same problem with a pcb that i thought was making mspac red. come to find out the monitor had a short in the neck board causing it to go red. did you get it fixed yet?
rob, just as long as you dont bring static shock to shock the ICs it shouldnt harm it. I have seen this particular bootleg hack on another board i repaired about a year ago. its compiled of 1 Z-80A, 1 Z8084-A and 2 sound custom proms, 1 maze eeprom, and two color proms for ms.pacman. Do you need the regular origional daughtercard and ribbon? i have one i can ship to you for 15$ working
Thanx for the offer. I don't know how I missed your comment a few months ago. Are there instructions online how to take a hack like this and change it back to it's original settings? I'm reluctant to mess with a hack.
looks like you have a different daughterboard hack on your ms.pacman that plugs into the z-80 slot. is that a different revision of ms.pac because it doesnt have the midway logo and 1980/1981, it just has 1981.
I would like to know what is going on with the board. I haven't seen one quite like this one before, but I can't bring myself to take it out and mess with it for fear of permanently damaging it.
Wow. Tho think that now we can play those types of games portably on a PSP or DS. Hey could you post a video of gameplay of the donkey kong arcade machine? I love arcade machines even know I don't own any. :(
Man, look at all those chips to run that thing. I bet the Namco re-issue's arcade board is probably little more than the size of a watch or something I bet.
How much? Depends on many factors. Mostly whether or not the machine is working. Also, the cabinet, side art, lights, speakers and the monitor are also big factors. Most Ms. Pac-Man machines that I've seen which were in good condition go for around $800 to $1000 at auction.
spend at least $700 on your ms pac. i bought one for $300 from a washateria... it plays, but it needs tlc all the time. i wish i would of shelled out another $500 for a machine that didnt foul up once a week
One small correction: the nintendo cartridges only contained ROM and EEPROM. The console did the processing. The gameboard that you refer to did both.
Pretty cool!! I never seen th einsice of a old achool arcaide game before. A lot of work went into putting that together. No wonder they laster so long. I wondered about the settings and stuff I played Pac Man I dont know how maney times, and sometimes it would be like very differnt, and now I kno whow they did it. Thanks for shareing that.
Great video

This machine has a bootleg board and a bad reproduction control panel from Twobits.
.Otherwise, nice machine. The colors were still off, I will give you some more help later.

cartridge was only the memory (ROM) and not the entire motherboard. But it is amazing how far technology has progressed.
But the old school electronics is just as fun and usually longer lasting.
Learn how to restore it and a new appreciation!

How much? Depends on many factors. Mostly whether or not the machine is working. Also, the cabinet, side art, lights, speakers and the monitor are also big factors. Most Ms. Pac-Man machines that I've seen which were in good condition go for around $800 to $1000 at auction.
