Mac Multipac & Multipac
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2014 7:52 pmMany users use Mame as their emulator, and I thought they may be interested in the origin of Mame and the first emulators that started the craze.
Mac Multipac
Mac Multipac is a pacman emulator. It was originally written for DOS, I ported it to the Macintosh. It can handle the following games:
Pac-Man
Ms. Pac-Man
Puckman
Hangly-Man
Crush-Roller
Source Code is available.
The current version is 8.1.
NOTE: While Multipac was cool in its time, it is now obsolete. Actually, it became "MAME" which has got to be the coolest arcade emulator out there. So Multipac is not of much use any more, unless you want to run at 3x3 pixel size, or unless you are having a bit of a nostalgia kick and want to see where MAME came from.
The about box pict (cause I think its cool):
If you are a PacManFan you all know Clay Cowgill's MultiPac kit. Clay doesn't produce them anymore, because of some legal issues. Now you can play with this 24 in 1 game kit in this emulator. However, you won't find any MultiPacRoms here, but you can download them somewhere on the Net...........
What is now known as The Multi Arcade Machine Emulator started in January 1997, as single emulators for different games, written by Nicola Salmoria. Most of us still remember Nicola's Multipac, Ladybug, and Pengo emulators. It has since evolved into an absolutely incredible emulator, capable of running z80, 6502, 6809, 68000 and 8086 based games. The emulator currently runs well over 340 games, a lot of which have sound, proper colors, high score saving, etc. Another great thing about this emulator, and why it has developed so fast is because of all the great people involved in either writing drivers, providing ROM images, schematics, or other valuable information. The current project coordinator is the extremely talented Mirko Buffoni
