Perfect Pac-Man Cherry Pattern

Works on the original version of Pac-Man, the MAME emulator version, and I'm told, the XBox 360 version.

Cherry pattern special instructions:
0:23 - press up until you see the 800, then press left.
0:40 - press right before you see the 400
1:07 - press right as soon as you see the 800
1:19 - press left as soon as you see the 800

Okay I'm having problems with the first flashing pellet thing. The ghosts usually split up in different directions. Are you supposed to take turns as early as possible? 

[nc16n53]

@Freddy3740 By default, you make the turns as early as possible; however, there are places where you don't. Expand and read the full video description and you'll see the places where special care is required. For example, near to where you get the first 800, you don't want to make that left turn as early as possible.

Are you sure this pattern is consistent? I've had issues with just the first set of ghosts lining up properly most of the time they run the opposite way before I turn the corner. I'm just using the typical puckman and pac man roms for mame.

If you got it to work once, then the pattern will work 100% of the time if turns are made correctly. Maximum point patterns are not easy to execute and you really have to commit to making good turns throughout the pattern.

What about the plug -n-play games??? Doesn't seem to work for this. Back in the days I was considered a Master..but would usually wipeout on the 14th key (talking 1981 here or something like that). Anyway..I knew the patterns then but it doesn't seem to be working for the Plug-n-play games..any suggs.??

[nc16n53]

The monster "A.I." in the plug n play games is nothing like the original Pac-Man game. This pattern has no chance of working on a plug n play Pac-Man.

Good job! I just did in on X360 version. I simply realized I have to hold right at 0:26 when I see 1600, otherwise I end up caught at 0:30. I find it easier to freestyle after the second pill, but I also managed to do it exactly as shown.

So yeah, this does work on Xbox 360.

fails red ghost hits me in the face everytime, 360 original version arcade game.

This works in MAME if I turn off vsync. If I turn on vsync, it stutters after the first energizer and messes up the ghosts every time. Tried it on several PCs and with different versions of MAME. Bizarre.
