# Arcade ROMs (user-sourced)

HollowCade does **not** ship commercial arcade ROMs (Pac-Man, Galaga, etc.).

## Quick start for Pac-Man

1. Obtain a MAME-compatible `pacman.zip` yourself (legal dump / your own archival copy).
2. Place it here as `pacman.zip`.
3. Copy the Pac-Man entry from `data/user-games.example.json` into `data/user-games.json`.
4. Restart `npm run dev` and open `/play/pacman` — you'll get the arcade coin boot + sound.

Or skip cataloging and use **Load ROM** with system set to Arcade.

## Tips

- Prefer MAME 2003-compatible sets for EmulatorJS `arcade` core.
- Large zips are fine; keep them local (gitignored except this README / `.gitkeep`).
