Good to see a couple Vampire screen snaps being shown.

And the recent alternate hardware Ms Pac Twin version being recently supported in MAME might be a worthy entry addition by itself.

+ ** Second PCB *
+
+ A second PCB was found!
+ The hardware base is totally different from the first set.
+
+ It's a two PCB system with the original SUSILU Ms PacMan Twin daughterboard replacing the Z80 at location 6B,
+ plus two daughterboards replacing the original Namco customs NVC284 at location 5S (VRAM addresser),
+ and NVC285 at location 6D (Z80 sync bus controller).
+
+ Program ROM is way different and need to be anlyzed deeply to find behaviour differences in the game.
+ Besides, the graphics ROM 3 (@ location 5h) has extra bitmapped strings "Push Start" and "Insert Coins"
+ that are not present in the parent set

A decent start for 2024.
