PAC-MAN layout for M.A.M.E (Namco 1980)

Hey again !
Here comes another cool UHD layout. This time it's for the game « Pac-man» on M.A.M.E. Like usually, I used visuals in very high resolution from arcadeartwork's website and many others I found myself digging the web. Like the previous one, I added the actual game's official world record from the "Twin galaxies" website (Guiness validated).

Be careful, this game was initially called "Puckman" so we will replace the "puckman.zip" file and not the "pacman.zip" one. It will apply itself to every versions using the Puckman's rom. The puckman’s rom is the parent one.

^{About this world record :}
The maximum amount of points you can get is 3,333,360 when reaching the « killscreen » (where the game bug). Rick Fothergill was the first person who sign it in 1999 (guiness validated) then 9 other great players reach the exact same score during years. The last one was in 2021.
I chose to enlight only the first man who killed Pac-man… Rick Fothergill.

All my layouts (concerning world records) are based on the arcade version of the game and indicates this specific category. There is a separate chart for M.A.M.E competitors so if you can reach this score on M.A.M.E you can also pretend to challenge the Arcade chart… you need a real genuine cabinet (good luck for that).

- On screen official marquee, side arts, bezel, control panel graphics and instructions.

^{Installation instructions for newbies :}

- Replace (or add) the « puckman.zip » file in your « /Mame/artwork/ » folder.
- Start M.A.M.E then launch the game « Pac-man»
- Press the « Tab » key and go to « video » section
- Chose « NOIR Homeplaying FullHD » configuration and ensure « bezel » is enabled. (chose the "WR" version for displaying the world record)
- Exit the M.A.M.E configuration menu
- Enjoy !

^{Notes :}
This Layout is designed for homeplaying on very large screens but should fit perfectly on modern TV, HD and UHD (4K).
You can chose between 2 layouts, one with the world record and one without it.

Mod it and convert it as you like ! I hope you'll enjoy it.
