==The Emulator== | |||
The emulator code is almost completely contained in pacman.c. Memory, port I/O etc are all in there. | |||
The sound is emulated in sound.c (this still needs some work). | |||
==Roms== | |||
You will need to acquire the Mame romset for this. It is usually called pacman.zip. | |||
It should contain the files: pacman.5e, pacman.5f, pacman.6e, pacman.6f, pacman.6h, pacman.6j, 82s123.7f, 82s126.4a. | |||
Create the directory \apps\pacman\roms\ on the front SD Card or USB root drive and insert the files. | |||
You're now ready use the emulator. | |||

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.
I have treated this development as a learning exercise, to gain experience of wii programming and to find out how an emulator works.
It should be possible to take this code and extend it for other Z80 based arcade machines without too much difficulty.
Progress
- Game works.
- Wiimote, nunchuck and classic controller supported.
- High scores saved and loaded
- Sound emulation needs work (can anybody help?)
Media
Midway Pacman Emulator v1.03 - (Cid2Mizard)
The Emulator
The emulator code is almost completely contained in pacman.c. Memory, port I/O etc are all in there. The sound is emulated in sound.c (this still needs some work).
Roms
You will need to acquire the Mame romset for this. It is usually called pacman.zip. It should contain the files: pacman.5e, pacman.5f, pacman.6e, pacman.6f, pacman.6h, pacman.6j, 82s123.7f, 82s126.4a.
Create the directory \apps\pacman\roms\ on the front SD Card or USB root drive and insert the files.
You're now ready use the emulator.
Installation
Copy the files boot.elf, meta.xml, icon.png into the directory \apps\pacman\.
