Hold the phone..... 'standard cab with a 27"(?) monitor to a large 110" '
Sounds like you are talking about either the 20th Anniversary Galaga / Ms. Pac-Man Machine or the 25th Anniversary Pac-Man (that has Pac, Ms. Pac and Galaga). If that is the case, the speedup hack is encoded in the roms and is NOT a hack. Two ways to access it. One is in the operator settings (software, as newer machines do not use dip switches). The other is to insert the coin(s) and when you are at the screen asking what game to select, press the joystick Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Fire. You will hear a noise, and the game will play at turbo speed.
