I erroneosly supplied a defective file with the latest update (May 1, 2022). The actual patch contents have not changed, so I kept the version number unchanged.
Pac-Mania was ported to many systems. Early ports like the one to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive where visually quite different from the original version. This hack aims to change that:
arcade sprites have been converted to fit into the systems colorspace
backgrounds have been redrawn to looks closer to the arcade version
colors have been improved, giving the game a brighter, more saturated and friendlier look
Please note: the PAl release is the same NTSC-U ROM file with just different labeling. The IPS patch works thus works with both region versions.
