The problem is, the file I have from you is u6pacatk and the only rom set that uses that is mspacmat for ms pac attack. I have tried everything with that rom set and it doesn't work. Do I have to rename the u6pacatk to a rom in mspacmab or what? If I try to run mame mspacmab with your rom set it says I am missing a bunch of roms for that game. When I run mame mspacmat with the roms it needs and your rom replacing the original, it gives me the crc error but it plays a different maze and there is no hi score table. Unless the link I have is wrong, the only file in the zip is u6pacatk. If that is correct, then I am doing something wrong. Please list what files have to be in mspacmab. My wife would really like to save her name on the game.

: The F2 for test mode won't do anything different unless the hi score table is showing first. So you need to play a game and die or watch the demo all the way through to game over to see if it gives you the scores.

: Try renaming your mspacman.zip to Xmspacman.zip. That will force it to use the mspacmab.zip file completely. There should be no way for it to play normal then.

: Type mame mspacman and you should get a rom not found message. If not you have another mspacman roms set hiding somewhere you need to find it and disable it.

: Now type mame mspacmab and you should be running my rom. You should get a message that the crc is wrong, that is good since obviously my roms are different. If it cycles through the demo and doesn't give you a hi score table full of zeros after the gameover in demo mode then somehow you must have the wrong roms. I can't think of any other explanation.

: : I have winmame 53 and dos mame 56 and neither one work. I have the latest rom set for mspacman and your download named mspacmab. I run from command line, "mame(dmame) mspacmab" and it plays fine but there is no high score action. And when I hit f2 for service mode, it doesn't have much at all. I am trying to get high score mainly. I like to think I am not stupid but I feel like it now. I can't see what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

: : : Double check that you have version 53 or newer. Place the zip file(mspacmab.zip) into your roms folder. Run MAME mspacmab or if mame32 select "ms pacman bootleg". That should be all you have to do to play it. Mame will see the new file first and use those roms instead of your old merged ones.

: : : When you say it didn't work, how do you mean? Did it play normal, did it give an error message or reset or just blow up?

: : : : I d/loaded the file and added it to my merged rom set and tried all the variations and none worked. I then tried to redownload the real rom and put this one seperate and it didn't work. Please help.
