Back to Asteroids Troubleshooting notes
Bad chips, replaced. List includes: "ast "= Asteroids PCB, "pac" = Ms Pacman or Pacman PCB, "miscom" = Missile Command PCB, "bzone" = Battlezone PCB, "gal" = Galaga PCB. These chips I have entered on this list were proven bad, the chips I have replaced do not make this list, unless I am 100% certain that the chip had failed.
