Re: 9010A Getting Started

Hi Kev,

Thanks for all the info, I will try some of the tips and read the troubleshooting
section next time I'm using the 9010A

ok great.

I did a quick edit and changes to the original galaga.s script, to make it work
on the standard Z80 pod, and the particular rom set I was using.
Definitely some research and addition to all the tests will be required later especially
to test out the sound and video hardware, the script only tests the cpu accessible memory
space and pathways, and not the rest of the commonly faulty galaga problems on the
bottom board or sound section :)
Anyway here it is with the ROM's I used also.
I have since discovered these roms are not quite the right ones for this orig. Namco Galaga
board, they work fine except in attract mode the 'fighter captured' example the fighter
is off to the left briefly when captured. Works perfectly in game play.
I'd better type in my 'how to' notes before my memory goes away!

Best regards,

Marc
