Hi all,

I've update the space invaders test rom to v1.2. It's available on the timothy's server : http://www.outerworldarcade.com/arcade/space_invaders/space_invaders_test_rom.html

The news are :
- Modification of the test RAM to display all rams in error in one time.
- Correct a display bug on INPORT test
- simplify the shifter matrix
- Add a manual

I think there's a bug on mame, the 8080 is not well reset in some case, so you can see the new bad ram screen at the end of this video.

I need to complete the test shifters analysis in the manual, If you have some pics and/or your repair log send them to me please.

The pics in attachement is the new bad ram screen

I was able to get this to pass and get to the passed screen once. I think that it might be functioning properly. I have no picture of a failed Ram screen, so I have nothing to compare what I am seeing most of the time which is not the passed ram screen and cycling through the sounds.

What does the screen look like when it has a bad Ram?
 
The Old ROM Image works but the memory map is wrong. If I remember correctly the numbers run from right to left and the G row is on the Bottom and the H Row is on the top when installed in the game and folded open for access..

You use the old midway version. I don't know this version very well.

Why don't you use the 1.2 version?
 
Couldn't fnd the ROM file.

Bumping this hoping for an answer to the same question. I downloaded the zip file for v1.2, which says "source and binaries" and there are a lot of files in the folder, but I don't see a .bin file. Is the rom file I should burn to an eprom in that folder, and if so which one is it? Thanks.
 
Thanks for this V1.2. I have a bunch of Midway boards and it seems that it's successful on some, but on others it always says RAM 1-8 are bad. With the V1.0 those boards pass, and the game works fine.
