[ukvac] TECH : Pacmania
Me again,
Another Pacmania-based question...
I have the Japanese version of the PCB, but I don't get the stage select at
the start (just like my Rolling Thunder, which must be the old version
romset from Mame!)...

I know Namco released different versions of their games, and the .PDF manual
for the Atari version has a stage select as an option in the dips...
This is not in mine, I get;
Playmode - Continue, Select or Retry 1st, none of which seem to make any
difference when selected, I still don't get the level select, which I
assumed would be on the 'Select' setting!

Any ideas, was this a multiversion game, as Mame only has one romset...

Cheers,
Paul

Dump your one and find out :)

Each System 1 game has a protection key chip, but there are hacked roms
available (not in Mame) with the protection patched out to allow game
conversions.
