Game description: Pac-Man takes break from eating dots and ghosts in the fun new party game Pac-Man Fever. In addition to our yellow hero, the game also features Ms. Pac-Man and many other Namco favorites from franchises such as Tekken, Ridge Racer, and Soul Calibur. Up to four players partake in more than 30 minigames and three differently themed game boards. Try to recover all of the minigames stolen by those pesky, party-crashing Ghosts and determine who the real party animal is.

dev-1592 D3D11, default Default Game runs essentially flawlessly with maybe a small stutter once in a blue moon. Gauntlet Golf does not work by default, and player model stuttering occurs while walking across certain tiles on the Tropical board (see this issue), and thus EE rounding and VU rounding need to both be set to 'positive' to fully correct these. While this does cause some slight, occasional jittering on the starting and staging squares, it does not affect gameplay and is very minor. TheTechnician27
