* These games may not compatible due to changes in how the controls are wired. The adapter has been tested with genuine Galaxian and several different bootleg boards for compatibility. Moon Cresta (Sega / Gremlin version only).This is the list of compatible games that can be used with this adapter: Please check my guide on how to convert an original AC board to DC. Using these adapters with the original games that run on AC, may not work. Important: You should convert the game to run on DC voltages before using this adapter. The jumpers on this adapter support these bootlegs. * Galaxian bootleg boards may sometimes swap the video pins from parts side to solder side and vice-versa (VRED = VGREEN). (PCB edge connector facing away, list is ordered right to left) This adapter follows the following pinout scheme: SOLDER SIDE If unsure whether the game you have is compatible, do not connect your board or you run the risk of damaging it, the adapter, or your cabinet. Please verify your game’s pinout against the pinout listed on this page. It will be up to you to ensure you have to correct board for this adapter. This adapter was designed to support only the genuine Namco versions of these this game, and their most popular bootleg variants. Both of these adapters support the original and bootleg versions of the game.Īlso, please keep in mind that there are many, many clones of Galaxian games. There are also many unrelated games that were ported to run on Galaxian hardware, and may or may not work perfectly. There are therefore two separate adapters for the first conversion class, one for Galaxian and one for Pacman. It would also be impractical to support the numerous bootleg variants on one adapter only. While it’s possible to produce an adapter that could support both genuine Namco Galaxian and Pacman games, it has the potential to be unsafe. Connecting either game to the other’s cabinet, breaks the controls and may result in damage to the game board and the speaker due to changes in how the sound is wired between these two games. One of these conversion classes was used in Galaxian, Pacman and its sequels, and the other was used in Galaga and the Namco games that followed.Įven though Galaxian and Pacman pinouts are similar and they are often referred to as being in the same conversion class, they are not exactly the same. Namco, arguably the most successful arcade game manufacturer, created 2 pinout classes for their games in the 1980s.
