Pac-Man Recomp 1.1.1: fixes from player feedback. The level counter now counts properly, the start-level cheat sets up every level correctly, the launcher and game window size themselves to your screen, the game finds your ROM by itself, and the setup tools delete themselves after the first setup.
Which file do I download?
- New players, or anyone who wants a fresh install: download PacManRecomp-1.1.1-Windows.zip. That's the only file you need.
- Already have an older version installed? You don't need to download anything. Press "Check for updates now" in the launcher and it updates itself. The other file, PacManRecomp-1.1.1-for-1.0.x-updater-EasyBuild.zip, is only there for the older 1.0.x in-game updater to use, so you can ignore it.
How to play: unzip it, copy your Pac-Man ROM (USA, Namco) into the folder, double-click PacManRecomp.exe and press Play.
What's fixed:
- Level counter and start-level cheat: the NES game gets harder up to level 23, and after that every level plays the same. The level counter now keeps counting past that. Starting on a high level now sets it up properly: the right fruit, speeds and blue-ghost time. Before, starting above level 23 gave wrong fruit and timings.
- Classic menus: Left/Right now change values, and holding speeds up, so picking a start level is quick.
- Big screens: the launcher, the setup window and the game window now size themselves to your screen, so they're no longer small on 1440p or 4K monitors.
- Finding your ROM: put your ROM in the game folder and the launcher finds it on its own. Only the US Namco ROM works, as before.
- Cleanup: the setup tools delete themselves once the game is set up. Updates bring them back for a few seconds when needed.
