AS OF 10/15/1997 THE PROMS ARE NOT READ BUT
I AM IN THE PROCESS OF DOING SO

ALSO THESE ARE NOT KNOWN IF THEY ARE CORRECT OR WORKING
THE BOARDSET (ALL 6 BOARDS) IS MISSING THE INTERCONNECT CABLE
TO GET IT RUNNING (100 PIN EDGE CONNECTOR) PLUS I DO NOT HAVE THE MANUAL



[UNMAMED]

There is a MAME driver submitted but Professor Pac-Man is not playable
at all. Why it's not emulated (skrooyoo):
Here's what's up with it (as of about two years ago, when myself and
another person were looking at doing it):
It's basically a multiple-choice quiz game. Some of the questions are
quite clever - I particularly remember "This is a die unfolded. Which
of these are *NOT* a die unfolded?" You then had to choose from a
picture of four dice unfolded the one that was wrong. In that respect,
it was kinda cool.
I eventually got in touch with Marc Canter, one of the original
developers. Apparently, the game used 640K of bankswitched ROM for
graphics and questions (the most of any game at the time) and a Z80.
So it is emulatable.
The problem: the images floating around only have the first 128K of
ROM dumped, from what I remember; I don't remember if it was all
graphics or if the code ROMs were in there as well. Thus, we're kinda
screwed until someone lets someone else dump it.
