Included slave on the disk doesn't get along with new version of the game.
Exception "Address Error" ($B00C) at $EFFFFF3B occurred. [Edit] Never mind, brain fart on my behalf. Decrunched executable works. Last edited by Retroplay; 13 October 2021 at 19:21. |

In my case it's WinUAE 4.9.0 Beta 36 and my 68030 ClassicWB OS3.1 setup.

have you tried using xfddecrunch on the new "pacman" executable? probably RNC packing that screwed things up

D'oh, that was it, it works decrunched.
[edit] Crunched with RNC Pro-Pack 2.08 works with the slave. Last edited by Retroplay; 13 October 2021 at 19:27. |

Seems that Pacman can be invisible for ghosts in first ~100 secs. This is good test for game logic

no, in that particular spot, facing up, no ghost can get you for an infinite amount of time.
It allows the player to take a bathroom break after a few hours too (I don't have the exact time but this was this position). I also don't know why the player does that at start. Maybe to test that it's working so bathroom breaks are possible later? It happens because: 1) ghosts cannot go up to get pacman in that location (and also above the pen). In that situation, even the red ghost is forced to turn in circles to get closer to pac-man, but using the circuit below (continuing left would make him reach pacman eventually but the first turn is shorter the other way...). Yes the A.I. isn't A* or Djikistra it's primitive. 2) facing up means pink ghost aims above left and misses the turn (same happens for blue too) 3) red also misses the turn to left and goes up because goes into scatter mode. And when switching from scatter to chase, it also (by chance) doesn't arrive on the right of pacman. To achieve that, the positions of the ghosts are also important. There are some positions where it won't work. Ms Pacman also have blind spots in some mazes. Best way to find them is to enable invincible cheat and test. I'll test that location in my version, but I'm pretty confident it will behave the same way. |

After 1h 26 minutes are started levels when power dots only change ghosts rotation for 180°. He used different pattern to finish these levels. These levels are finished very fast.

Yes, once it works the Ghost won't get you there forever. However looks like not all Ghost positions are safe to start the maneuver.
The original Pacman Arcade Game logic is extremely well explained here: [ Show youtube player ] |

Congratulation on this great conversion. May I ask where I can find the WHDLoad version? I can't see it on itch.io or whdload.de.

@jotd
Could we get this working on The A500 Mini? Neither the MsPacman 500 nor the Pacman 500 WHDLoad versions work! Neither does Tiny Bobble :-( Travesty! We need to showcase these amazing conversions on the new hardware! Congrats on 2nd place in the Amiga Game Competition too mate! |

Travesty indeed!! that's utterly inacceptable.
What happens exactly? I don't have the A500 mini and even if I had it I doubt that I could debug it. |
