Ms. Pac-Man Core, help with speedup hack

Hello, new friends!

I'm having a great time with my MiSTer setup, but one of my main reasons for building it was to get a solid Ms. Pac-Man core running with the speedup hack. I haven't been able to get it to work so far. The normal speed Ms. Pac-Man runs perfectly.

I have tried several different combinations of files, with .zip archives including the pacfast.6f file included but none of them will pass the md5 check and/or run. And when I try to use md5 on my Mac and other Linux systems to create the proper hashes to add to a new .mra file, I can't seem to get anything to work either.

Does anyone have any experience getting Ms. Pac-Man to run with the speedup hack enabled?

I can share additional details of my files and configuration if that will help you point me in the right direction.

Thanks!!

Yes!! Thank you, @brunosilva!

I did not notice the Alternative directory before, and the file that I needed was in there, just as you described. It's working perfectly for me, now!

I've checked the Official MiSTer wiki page (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki). Didn't see it there. Anyone have a link to grab this alternatives file? Thanks in advance!

The Alternative MRA's can be grabbed here: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/MRA-Alternatives_MiSTer

The updater will also grab them and place them here: "_Arcade\_alternatives", it's default behavior of the updater, unless you have disabled it with an updater ini setting (MAME_ALT_ROMS="false").

The link on the main page seems to not be working. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... ves_MiSTer

The URL is different from yours.
