Galaga upright restoration
SirPeale:
Nice catch there. So many times when troubleshooting it's your eyes that are the best tool.
WunderCade:
Can we get a nice, non-cellphone, pic of it? Good detective work so far.
I watched you talking to yourself, with rhymes.....very intriguing. And apparently productive.

I saw that too. A little odd, but hey. Whatever works... ;D
kayoteq:
It's only a problem when you start arguing or bossing yourself around. Or thinking out loud.
Okay, per request:
Yep, gonna need t-molding. Not pictured: the ugly back where friend loaded it in the truck on its back. Not again. Will insist on upright
travel next time. He probably did that so we couldn't load two cabinets ;)
The thing that helps a lot..
(yest that's a metal plate from one of the yard Pac-Mans.. don't worry it was doa.)
..and the current state of the roms.. but not melting ROM. The recycled CRT from Superman is working fine.. I can't even see
the burn in. Ah the days of reliable equipment. Where have they gone?
Reproduced it in MAME so it's 'normal' until I get my chip done.
So very glad repro cpos are available.. But I've seen one Galaga with a rubber strip across the bend in the cp.. hmm..
The white stuff in the upper left is from where they spraypainted a big X on the cabinet..
washed right off the glass, the panel, not so much. Agg!
Okay, off to find boxes and packing foam for other things. .
RetroACTIVE:
Your "boxy" galaga's are most likely ram on the video PCB... depending upon your board configuration it could either be
6M-6J and 6F-6C (1 of 8 "2147" ics total)
or
6H and 6B (1 of 2 "2148" ics total)
