Space Invaders - Will it still run with bad soundcard?
Hi
I'm trying to troubleshoot a Taito SI PCB set (L-Shape). The PCB set runs for a second then freezes before the game initialises, or sometimes you still get the TILT message on screen if you hit the slam switch but it will not run game code or show graphics or anything. Sometimes it will run if I short the RAMs for a second with full graphics then die again.
I've been over the PCB but cannot find the problem on the CPU board. The soundcard is not an original Taito one, it is a Zenitone Invaders Revenge soundcard.
Question is, will a CPU board still run game even if the soundcard is bad?
