---+!! Pacbox

Pacbox is an emulator of the Pacman arcade machine hardware.  It is a port of [[http://www.ascotti.org/programming/pie/pie.htm][PIE - Pacman Instructional Emulator]].

---++ Getting Started and ROMs

To play Pacman, you'll need a copy of the Pacman ROMs from a Midway Pacman or Puckman arcade board.

| pacman.5e | 2791455babaf26e0b396c78d2b45f8f6 |
| pacman.5f | 9240f35d1d2beee0ff17195653b5e405 |

Copy these files to the /.rockbox/pacman/ directory on your player. Any other files found in the archives can be discarded as they are not required.
