Originally written by A.D.Price and released in 2008 then promptly orphaned.

Improved a little by Amyb68 who fixed the issue for roms sub-folder and add rack Advance/TestMode features (see readme.txt).

-Experience the classic arcade game on your Wii with this Pac-Man port. Built using DSGM (DS Game Maker) and MS Paint, this version features the iconic visuals and sounds from the original arcade game, allowing you to relive the nostalgia on Wii.
+This Pacman port was made using DSGM, MS Paint, and sounds from the original arcade game.
-==Description==
-Why create a pacman emulator for the wii? Two reasons.
-Mame on the wii doesn't currently contain wiimote support and I wanted to play pacman.
-This is the first application I have created for the Wii.
+Originally written by A.D.Price and released in 2008 then promptly orphaned.
-I have treated this development as a learning exercise, to gain experience of wii programming and to find out how an emulator works.
+Adopted October 2010 by Dashxdr who fixed the audio issues, cleaned up the source.
-It should be possible to take this code and extend it for other Z80 based arcade machines without too much difficulty.
+Improved a little by Amyb68 who fixed the issue for roms sub-folder and add rack Advance/TestMode features (see readme.txt).
