Playing Pac-Man in MAME, using the arcade ROM extracted from the Steam version of Arcade Game Series: Pac-Man.
 
Running Pac-Man using these command-line parameters in a Windows shortcut to mame.exe (current version, 0.253):
 
pacman -nofilter -volume -22
 
OOPS I forgot, my Arcade Archives version high score is 37240 (I got confused and started thinking it was only 32K, hmm =P) so I did NOT get a new high score here, drat!
 
Well, I got close. Dang!

Game is hard. ; ) I may just concentrate on Ms. Pac.

C:\downloaded\mame0254\mame.exe pacman -waitvsync -nofilter -autosave -volume -10
 
"autosave" to get it to save high scores, which it doesn't do on its own--same as Ms. Pac-Man; Dig Dug DOES save scores though, huh! Also "waitvsync" 'cause these run at ~60.6 fps, can get juddery.

Taking vsync out of the command line. ^ _^ I'd thought I'd needed it for recording games well but doesn't seem to be the case, at least for the ones I've checked now; and they're mostly noticeably more responsive with it off, whee! : )
