Step 0: Turn off power to the gameIt may possible to install this kit without removing your board from its cabinet, however, you may find it easier to install the kit if you do remove the board. In that case, pay careful attention (or label), any wire connections as you disconnect your board so that you can correctly re-hookup the game PCB afterwards. Take note of which side of the 44-pin connector is facing the parts side of the board and which side faces the solder side, This connector is typically not keyed and can be inadvertently plugged in backwards - ouch! It is recommended that you label the connector faces with something like "parts side" or "solder side". Step 1: Locate the CPU boardThere are 2 different types of NAMCO/Midway boards this kit can be installed into. If your board looks like neither of these, please see the instructions for Clone Galaga boards. Locate the CPU board for your type of Galaga Board. In general, the installation is the same between board types, only the ROM chip locations are different.
Step 2: Remove the chipsLocate and remove the main Z-80, and the G5 chip on the CPU board. The G5 chips is generally labeled either GG5 or 3600E. Use the diagrams below to assist in locating both. See Z80 Chip Identification for additional information. The Z80 chip is a 40 pin (large) chip.Remove the chip gently by using a flat head screwdriver to pry it out of its socket from each end. Be careful not to bend any of the pins. If any pins do get inadvertently bent, you will need to straighten them out before the next step. Needle nose pliers work the best for this.
Step 3: Insert the Z-80 into the daughter cardInsert the just removed main Z-80 chip into the empty 40 pin socket on the Galaga Enhancement Pack. Make sure pin-1 is correctly oriented. Pin-1 is marked on the Z-80 chip usually by some type of indentation or circle molded into the plastic. The end of the chip with the marking, needs to match up with the socket on the daughter card that also has a marking on the plastic. There should also may be a small sticker on the daughter card marking pin-1.
Step 4: Insert the daughter card into the CPU boardInsert the daughter card back into the Z-80 socket on the CPU board where the Z-80 chip was originally removed from. Again, make sure pin-1 of the Z-80/daughter card is oriented to correctly match pin-1 on the CPU board. Use the photos as a guide. The header on the daughter board has pins that are more heavy duty than the original Z-80 pins, thus you will need to press very firmly to get the daughter card to be fully inserted into the original Z-80 socket. Step 5: Install the G5 chip
Install the chip labeled G5 from where you removed the chip in step 2. Step 6: Double check your workReview the steps and double check that Z-80 is properly installed into the daughter card with no bent pins and that it is correctly oriented for pin-1. And that the daughter card is also installed snug into the Z-80 socket with pin-1 matched up. Step 7: Reinstall CPU, power-up game and enjoy!Reinstall your board into the cabinet if necessary, and then power-up your game. Flip the test switch inside the coin door to enter setup mode, or the game will automatically transition to gameplay mode.If the game does not come up, turn power off immediately, double check your work, and read over the trouble shooting section. < Prev Page |
