You know I have to say that this is one of my most favorite hacks around! I don't know what it is.. but there's some sense of satisfaction playing Atari Pacman like this

[Breakpack]

Now lets see if we cant add intermissions!!

[Nukey Shay]

Intermissions are kind of irrelivant, since there's no board level indicator

[Breakpack]

Yes,intermissions would be-quite-nice......*begins to whistle*

[Pixellated Ghost]

I actually managed to pass through a ghost!

I can live with the maze the way it is, especially given the much more forgiving collision detection. Really just needs a better sound for the dot eating.

There's an older pac man hack I did on this forum ages ago where I changed it. Unfortunately, I don't know what byte I changed, as I was just playing with the code in Hack O Matic.

They'd still be pretty funny if done in Atari-Pac style.

Checked out the link, but that's for a proposal game cart, which I'm not interested in.

[Nukey Shay]

Here's a fix to deal with unknown flipflop status. The cart needs to initialize in bank2. If by chance the program booted in bank1, it would have crashed. This was corrected previously in Hack'Em by simply adding a start vector to bank1 as well...so I added the code (6 bytes in each bank) to this hack as well.

Program changes...

;* = $D000

START1:

       LDA    $1FF9                  ;4 switch to bank 2

       NOP                           ;2 take up the slack

       NOP                           ;2

       NOP                           ;2

;* = $DFFC

       .word START1

;* = $F000

       NOP                           ;2 take up the slack

       NOP                           ;2

       NOP                           ;2

       JMP    START                  ;3 jump and initialize ram

Hey Nukey Shay ever thinking of hacking a UPDATED Ms. Pac-Man or better yet a already hack Pac-Man Arcade (aka Pacman26) with Pac-Man having him have a real Death sceen like from the arcade and not like Ms.Pac-Man death?

Yeah, but he hacked DK into an 8k game to make it work.

I tried making sense out of Ms.PacMan before...and I didn't get very far Once I learned that there was little hope of making faithful mazes in it (because it's 1 row too short), I kind of lost interest.

Still rather see it be worked into an expanded version of the game than just some proposal cart made for a specific someone. In other words, I won't even consider it. End of discussion.

[pmpddytim]

Once again Nukey, Great hack

Yeah? Where?

[Nukey Shay]

Search for "proposal"...or just back up a page for the link (at the bottom)

This is the real story.

Oh, come on 'Wiz you know they won't read through all of that.

I'm working on it now. It'll be easy to hack DK into an 8k cart. Then I'll have room to make a proper Atari proposal.

And later on, somebody can use the extra 4k to add the Elevators and Pie Factory!

-paul

Now someone just needs to add the extra levels.

[Nukey Shay]

I suppose it would have been more of a possibility if he had posted the source

What other levels besides those 4 are there?

[PacManPlus]

Back on topic...

I made some changes to the graphics - I changed the eyes and the scared ghost bitmap to be '5200 Pac-Man' like...

Hope that's ok
