Level42:
I know nothing about Galaga, but maybe you need this ?

Yeah, that would definitely be a new 05xx chip...
tommyguard3:
that doesn't look anything like the 05xx chip on my machine. Do I really need a new Starfield generator? I would think it is more a timing issue since the starfield is there, just moving funny.
Either way I've got a call in to a shop nearby to see if they have any in stock. I know I asked before, but is there a way to test chips and see if they are good or not?

It doesn't look like it because it's a new replacement built with modern-day parts.

Sorry I haven't got a clue, I just remember seeing it and thought I'd tip you about it. You could try dropping AS a line as they seem to be pretty "deep" into Galaga:

The only way is using a scope and have the schematics there and know what's supposed to be going on at each pin of the chip.

Replace the socket before you replace the chip. Galaga is NOTORIOUS for bad sockets.
