Damn I wish I'd be at the office sooner....I can erase and burn those EPROMS without a problem there.....
you can do that by yourself? may i ask why youre thinking about getting the 96in1?
Yes I can. We have an eprom eraser and burner at the company (for burning eproms of fire-alarm systems).
Maybe if I ask nicely someone can do it for me there.
What I want for my Ms.Pac (and I think some of you haven't thought about this just yet):
1) Hi-score save
2) free play with normal attract screen. The built-in free-play keeps showing the start screen, you don't want that to burn in your monitor....
3) a no-solder (or almost no solder) solution
Those are the essentials, anything extra is just nice, like screen-saver and extra games.
The 96in1 meets all these requirements. The other solutions require at least 2 boards and/or lot's of soldering.
I'm now looking at this thread which looks promising
http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=127153&highlight=multi+pac (but still requires 2 boards AND some extra sockets...., it's probably not cost-efficient to have to order these 2 boards separatly compared to the 96 in 1, with shipping etc.)
I'd LOVE to be able to play Jr. but that's completely different hardware, to do that you need a separate Jr. Board and switch over. However I may end up with a 48in1 in my Puckman so I can play it with the original Pac joystick on that one.
