@jedeyesniv-art jedeyesniv-art released this 21 Oct 21:16

First release of the native PC port of Pac-Man Championship Edition (Xbox 360 Live Arcade).

No game files are included - you need your own copy, dumped from your own Xbox 360.

How to play

  1. Download PacManCE-1.0.0-windows.zip and unpack it anywhere.
  2. Put your game in its game\ folder: the package file from your console (a file with a long
    hexadecimal name), or the unpacked files (default.xex, media\, data\).
  3. Run pacman.exe. Controls and options are in README.txt.

Works on Windows 10/11 (Vulkan or Direct3D 12) and on the Steam Deck through Proton.

Highlights

  • Random mazes bonus mode: press R3 on the title screen (the logo turns red) for a new maze
    order every Championship game; high scores aren't recorded for those games
  • The whole maze, at last - the original cuts off the bottom of the neon frame around the maze;
    this port moves the picture up so it's complete
  • Runs light: ~7% CPU in gameplay, 60 fps on the Steam Deck
  • Renders at your screen's resolution, never stretched
  • Plays straight from the console package (STFS) or unpacked files
  • Controller and keyboard; F11 / Alt+Enter for fullscreen
  • Achievements recorded locally (Achievements menu or F7); saves backed up automatically

Other files

  • PacManCE-1.0.0-symbols.zip - debug symbols, only needed to read crash reports
  • FFmpeg / libmspack .tar.gz - source code of the LGPL libraries used, as their licence requires
