Hello,
I really hope I'm posting this in the right place. If I'm not, please help directing me to the right place.
I'd like to report a MAME malfunction in the game " Ms. Pacman Champion Edition /
Super Zola Pac Gal " that occurs in MAME versions 061 , 066 , 106 , 126.
I play this game on the Arcade machine so I know how it works:
(1) Pac's speed – When the game works correctly pac has 2 possible speeds, one is
the default fast speed and the other is the turbo fastest speed which occurs only as
long as the player pushes the turbo button and keep holding it down, and when the
player lets go of the turbo button the speed changes back to the default fast speed.
The default fast speed is faster than the original pac speed of the original Ms pacman
game and the turbo fastest speed is faster than the default fast speed.
But on MAME there is no option to control the pac speed which randomly changes
between the three speeds (default fast or turbo or original pac speed) – changing
sometimes at the beginning of a new level or after losing a life. The button that should
control the speed is missing and for some reason the speed changes randomly instead
of being constant default fast speed.
(2) Timer Setting – the dip switch that should set the timer and choose between 60 or
90 seconds is missing.
The speed bug takes the fun out of the game because the turbo speed was meant to be
used for very short periods of time – only one or two seconds at a time because at the
turbo speed it is extremely difficult to navigate pac and make the desired turns, and the
original pac speed (which should never even occur in this game) is too slow to make
it in time before the timer runs out of time – so whenever the speed becomes turbo or
original pac speed - the game becomes worthless…
Please let me know if I contacted the right address to fix those bugs.
THANKS A MILLION !!
