Re: Battlezone Aux Board replacement?

Even better Battlezone schematics:

Mathbox simulation in MAME:

POKEY emulator in MAME:

And speaking of Battlezone, I was playing around with a Battlezone and
G05 a few nights ago. I was reminded that not everyone has a vector
pattern generator with which to test their various vector monitors.

Why wouldn't someone recreate a simple vector pattern generator, rather
than a somewhat obscure mathbox? Everyone with a vector game needs a
patern generator, but noteveryone *needs* a mathbox (which are mostly
simple to fix).

Ed, can you get on that for me?
