Space Invaders showing nothing but garbage and other oddities
I'll try to make this quick,
Backstory: Just picked me up a SI that had a blown power supply. Seller included a new power supply to replace it. I get it all home, assemble it and the monitor wouldn't power up. Switch to the old supply and still nothing. I couldn't get it to coin up at all since the coin switch's wire was cut, but fiddling with it made the game start playing the UFO sound effect on loop. Turns out it was a blown fuse on the monitor was why I got no picture (derp). This brings me to my current shenanigans:
All the game throws up is garbage, there was one moment where the garbage was animating the exact same way the attract screen does, but now its just a blocky mess... How do I begin to debug this?
Side note: what game does this color overlay come from? Cause it doesn't look like its from SI
