Pacbox other than pacman

(1/1)

Stephan:
Hello. First of all, every now & then i update my rockbox and everytime I do, I´m blown away by the progress rockbox has made in the meantime.

Now, but this is a simple question about pacbox - which is amazing.
Is is possible to play other than the pac and puckroms? With other groups of roms that form a game I get a "no roms found" - error.  
Is there any planning of supporting other games using this emu?

Cheers

GodEater:
No - PacBox is very much limited to playing the very specific set of Roms it supports.

It's not possible to expand it to include other rom sets, and before you ask, we can't port MAME either, it uses an incompatible software license.

linuxstb:
There's at least one more game (Ms Pacman) that could potentially run in Pacbox - it just needs very minor changes to the emulator, but I never managed to succeed in getting it to work.  (PIE, the Pacman emulator that pacbox is based on, supports Ms Pacman).

Also, I have a feeling that there are other games that run on the Pacman hardware, but I never got as far as trying to find the romsets for them.

Presumably because you'd run out of room in the garage to store those arcade cabinets? ;)

Stephan:
Cheers for the answers. BTW, my girlfriend has her garage piled up with those cabinets.  ::)
