f4mi | The impressive Pac-Man CE demake port - from Xbox 360 to NES @f4micom | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Pac-Man Championship Edition was originally released in 2007 for the Xbox 360, and it is universally acclaimed as one of the best arcade games of the latest years.
Considered by many as "the real sequel to Pacman", this Namco Bandai game single handedly skyrocketed Xbox Live Arcade's success in 2007.
But what if this arcade game, designed for the HD generation of consoles came out in the 1980s?
We don't have to wonder anymore: PacMan Championship Edition has been ported to the NES. Well, technically the Famicom, its japanese equivalent.
And technically this port is contained in the latest Namco "All-Stars" collection, Namcot Collection, localized in the west as Namco Museum.
But in this video, we have a way to extract it, legally obtain its ROM from the Namco Museum game files and play it wherever you want.
This PacMan CE demake port definitely is one of the best demakes you can play and it perfectly captures the gameplay and feel of the original game in an 8 bit form, and today we'll be looking at it, checking out how it works, how it was made, how it uses the special Namco 163 audio chip and how to play this game on real hardware.
(krikzz please send me an everdrive n8 that would be awesome)
Tool to extract the ROMs from your LEGALLY ACQUIRED (!!!) copy of Namco Museum:

The command you need to use: "MArchiveBatchTool.exe fullunpack --keep alldata.psb.m zlib +6ZU4rBUftNHH 64"
