Hail to Galaxian... by Namco!

Instead of shipping the board directly to you, he should have let IronGiant "convert" it back - have had 3 PCBs fixed by him and they work great!!

Meh, and now you tell us? Well, send it to IrinGiant now then....

[level42]

Well, I could of course give it a try myself   And I've got a great PCB repair guy almost literally around the corner in this wonderful European arcade capital.......

I am sure he can get it up and running..

is it not simply burning the correct roms ?

[level42]

Nope, there are some extra boards that need to be removed, lot's of added wires to get rid off and there are even some chips piggy-backed....
Also, (worst) there seem to be some chips removed.

If this was ROM only it would have mean the game would probably be on Macro's multi-Galaxian kit. There are lots of bootleg hacks on Galaxian hardware...

thats right, i remember Tighe over at KLOV having a galaxian-kong

Hé André,

You came this, I'm sure you can do it. When in need just call us on this great forum 

[level42]

I think everyone was waiting for these shots.....

[level42]

I'll see if I can make some better one's with my real camera....

What struck me was that the cabs are actually more similar than I'd thought before. The outlines almost match (except for the top). The set-up of the controls is almost 100% identical. Even the height where the marquee begins is exactly the same and the control panels are almost at the same level... anyway, they are a beautiful pair. Would be cool to put an Italian Bertolini Galaxian on the right side to make the trio complete, Japan, US and Europe

Great pic  thanks andre

[DarthNuno]

Nice, but your group picture cannot be complete without a Galaxian3 to show 'all the family' 

[level42]

LOL Maybe one day the cousins will all come together for a family reunion ! 

Black sheep of the family not wanted though....

[Superully]

not bad, andré, but have i missed something? how did you get it up and running?

[level42]

By putting the plug into a socket 

It's not running OK though. The bootleg board puts out just some loud continious noise and the graphics have errors. Works otherwise though, scroll back a few pages I powered it up not long after I got it...

P.S. does your e-mail still work ? I think you did not receive my last e-mail of some weeks ago...
