MAME is the best program ever developed, but the dev team has made some terrible decisions. When I get back I'll ensureyou van enjoy some Galaga.


Thanks, I did indeed need help! But I've had it explained to me now--you have to start the game, and then hammer on the 1P coin entry and start buttons and then wait (or maybe just wait) until the letter soup disappears, and then wait some more until the weird grid goes away, and THEN you can play Galaga. Apparently this is normal.

Maybe this is covered in an old Caltrops MAME thread, I don't know, I just figured I could play frickin Galaga without a study guide!

Anyway Galaga is kinda fun again, hooray.


Unclear on why I never responded to this thread in 2009. It was a rich time for posts, I guess! Yeah, there's crazy shit on the screen for the Midway games of that time. It happens with the real things as well. (OK, I know it happens for Galaga, Ms. Pac and Pac. Not sure about any others, but sometimes, those three games are enough.)

I have the 60-in-1 board that was mentioned in the article up top. Galaga is probably the most popular game in that collection. When I finally upgraded to HD television in August, the installer (who was downstairs, next to the arcade) asked if I had Galaga, and if I knew of "the trick." I told him I did, and then he got mad because I removed the old Directv box when he was out drilling the new dish to my house. Fuck that guy and his space bees!
