Space Invaders (Midway) to JAMMA Adapter
Couldn't load pickup availability
Allows you to use your original Midway Space Invaders or Space Invaders Deluxe board in a JAMMA cabinet or a supergun device.
Space Invaders was one of the most popular and historically important games of the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was originally developed by Taito of Japan and licensed to Midway for distribution in North America. The game originally used a black and white, TV type monitor, feeding it a composite signal. Interestingly, the Taito and the Midway versions use a completely different PCB and are not pinout compatible.
This adapter will only convert the Midway licensed, North American, Space Invaders, and Space Invaders Deluxe boards.
The adapter contains a power-on reset circuit (POR), a composite to RGB video converter, and a micro-controller driven, switchable virtual color overlay that simulates the original cellophane overlay used to add color bands to the original black and white display.
