Subject: Re: MAME cheat to "fix" Pac-Man ghosts?
I was re-reading Don Hodges analysis of the Pinky & Inky tracking bug in Pac-Man...
http://donhodges.com/pacman_pinky_explanation.htm...and it got me thinking... Has anyone created a MAME "cheat" file that fixes these bugs? I'm curious if it makes Pac-Man easier or harder.
I'm sure there must be a reason why Don hasn't converted it into cheats.
But just in case, here's a blind conversion of the code changes mentioned on that page into cheats.
