Oh I got a bad flu and haven't been working on any of my hobbies, instead trying to catch up on my work :(

I don't think I'll spend another Winter in Maine LOL, I've been saying that for years but this is really the last time :)

I'll let you know if I have any luck with the Galaga, I have an ATX PSU (with extension), an ArcadeVGA (clone from Italy), a switching power supply from a JAMMA bowling game, and several computers as a backup MAME plan (like a DIY 60-in-1).

I'll get this Galaga working one way or another :)

Though if I go with MAME I guess we'll have to move this thread and change the title to "murdering a classic cabinet" LOL.

Such drama !

OK, rock on mates !

I feel for ya, the flu sucks! I have never been to Maine, but I can't stand the cold and I am sure the winters are bad. I believe you'll get the board repaired, you have two good PS to choose from and if that doesn't fix the issue, I'm sure plenty of folks will jump in and help you out.

Low +5 volts can result in the game reporting RAM error.
NO MORE!!
