wow why arent those in the hack area of 2600

 

i wish i could get nuky to hack ghost manor to start at level 2 for the supercharger

[Nukey Shay]

'Course, you could do it the old-fashioned way by setting it to B&W

 

None of the games linked above are for Atari's Pac-Man.

 

I never changed just the background color (tho I think that Neo did in his "Black" series... i.e. "Pac-Man Black"). Here's the color tables if you want to mess with them:

 

;colors
LFF2B:
;Color
      .byte $FC ; |XXXXXX  | $FF2B First ghost
      .byte $EC ; |XXX XX  | $FF2C Second ghost
      .byte $DC ; |XX XXX  | $FF2D Third ghost
      .byte $CC ; |XX  XX  | $FF2E Fourth ghost
      .byte $7A ; | XXXX X | $FF2F Vulnerable
      .byte $5A ; | X XX X | $FF30 Changeback
      .byte $FB ; |XXXXX XX| $FF31 Pac-Man
      .byte $84 ; |X    X  | $FF32 Background
      .byte $F7 ; |XXXX XXX| $FF33 Foreground
      .byte $44 ; | X   X  | $FF34 P1 score
      .byte $C4 ; |XX   X  | $FF35 P2 score

LFF36:
;B&W
      .byte $14 ; |   X X  | $FF36 First ghost
      .byte $18 ; |   XX   | $FF37 Second ghost
      .byte $14 ; |   X X  | $FF38 Third ghost
      .byte $18 ; |   XX   | $FF39 Fourth ghost
      .byte $09 ; |    X  X| $FF3A Vulnerable
      .byte $04 ; |     X  | $FF3B Changeback
      .byte $0F ; |    XXXX| $FF3C Pac-Man
      .byte $00 ; |        | $FF3D Background
      .byte $07 ; |     XXX| $FF3E Foreground
      .byte $04 ; |     X  | $FF3F P1 score
      .byte $0A ; |    X X | $FF40 P2 score

If you just want the original Pac-Man with black background - try this one:

 

Pac-Man_Black.bin

[CorTat-G]

Cool!

[bohoki]

i tried it on my supercharger but it just restarts i guess it needs the supercharger hack i owe nukey so much for all his supercharger fixes

[Impaler_26]

This one should work with the Supercharger:

 

Pac-Man_Black_Supercharger.bin

[bohoki]

nope just rebooted again

[Impaler_26]

nope just rebooted again

Hmm... strange... Does Nukey's Pac-Man Supercharger hack work? I don't have a SC so i can't test those roms...

 

EDIT:

 

I used the version from this post:

I've tried it Stella and it's a lot easier to see the ghosts are different colors.

Sounds like somebody needs a Harmony cartridge.

[bohoki]

well i have a pac-man that works on my supercharger not sure whos it is its currenty a wav file though

[GideonsDad]

If you just want the original Pac-Man with black background - try this one:

 

Pac-Man_Black.bin

 

Thanks, that is much easier on the eyes.

Nuke Shay's Pac-Man 8k is the one to try. It may be in one of the links above, as I didn't try them. It has a black backround and many other enhancements, but retains the maze and many of the features of the original 2600 version.

[Nukey Shay]

Since Pacman 8k is an 8k game tho, it won't work on a Supercharger (unless he has the Brazilian version not made by Arcadia/Starpath).
