I have one on the bench that I am repairing for Steve23 but it looks like one or more of the ROMs have bit rot. Been trying to locate the ROMs for Potomac Mortgage Star Invaders. Anyone know of a source?

Thanks,

Bill
 
Thanks - I'll let Steve know since he is the owner and decide what he wants to do.

YW.

If the board uses oddball EPROMs such as a TMS2716 let me know. I have a programmer here that works with 'em.

Thanks - They are 2716s and 2516s. Steve also sent another Potomac board with a game called Star Attack on it that I repaired and it is not listed on KLOV for Potomac. I'm contacting the MAME folks about that one as I have a good dump of the roms. It's another variation of Galaxian but interestingly has an energy gauge that looks like it allows you to only play for a set amount of time - once the energy runs out, your turn is over. That was clever as it prevented someone from playing too long on one round. Haven't played it enough ( or am good enough before I get killed) to see if there are ways to increase the energy on the gauge.

Steve is going to contact the Star Invaders owner to see if he can obtain a dump of the ROMs. Until then we're in a holding pattern on that one.

He'll also send screen shots to KLOV after I return the boards to him.

Best,

Bill
 
Cool. 2716 = TI2516 = standard 2716. They aren't the pesky TMS2716 then. Those take 3 different voltages like the older 2708s did.
 
Bumping this - still looking for the ROM images.
