Special Note: Please note, this is the much harder revision of Galaxian that is found to have been an equally common release Worldwide.Submission Message First time playing this rom set. It gets intense...
OK this video is pretty crummy. The Ms. Pac-Man one looked better...
Please download the INP and play it back for yourself to get the full effect. The video is just a visual aide.

Artwork available
Bugs:
- The backround sound during gameplay is slow by about a factor of 2. dropdeadhippie (ID 00443)
WIP:
- 0.175: Dyno Dastardly and Janniz added clone Galaxian (bootleg, set 4). Documented Galaxian (bootleg, set 2) which mixes roms from other sets (double sized program roms and kamakazi3 gfx roms) [Osso].
- 0.173: Blair Quinney added clone Kamikaze (Potomac Games).
- 0.168: Robbbert added clone Super Galaxians (Silver Systems). Note: ROM names are from HBMAME; real names yet to be found.
- 0.154: AUMAP added clone Zero Time (Datamat). This is a bootleg produced in the early 90s by Datamat, Datamat still operate as Datasat http://datasat.info/.
- 0.153: ANY added clone Galaxian (bootleg, set 3). DamagedGoods added clone Galaxian (Irem). Roselson added clone 'Galaxian Growing Galaxip / Galaxian Nave Creciente (Recreativos Franco S.A. Spanish bootleg)'. Interesting Spanish bootleg where your ship grows every 2 levels thus making the game increasingly difficult, 'official' product of Recreativos Franco.
- 0.150: Added 'Galaxian Custom' sound.
- 0.149: ANY added clone Galaxian (bootleg, set 2). Changed description of clone (bootleg) to 'Galaxian (bootleg, set 1)'.
- 0.148u5: Roselson (from AUMAP) added clone Galaxian (Recreativos Franco S.A. Spanish bootleg).
- 0.148: Swapped gfx1 rom load for clone Galaxian (Taito) to produce correct colors so it matches the other sets [Brian Troha].
- 0.147u4: Robbbert and MisfitMAME added clone Astrians (clone of Swarm).
- 16th April 2011: Mr. Do - Thanks to Zorg for getting in contact with Etienne over at Dragon's Lair Fans. He scanned and vectored the Italian version of the Namco Galaxian bezel.
- 17th December 2010: Smitdogg - Darran dumped a bunch of early 80's bootlegs from New Zealand, mostly Galaxian and Galaga bootlegs and hacks.
- 12th December 2010: Smitdogg - Darran dumped an alt version of Galaxian Part X.
- 0.135: Luigi30 changed references to galaxiaj in game names to galaxiana. Fixed unable to use normal coin slots (coin lockout) in clone Kamakazi III (superg hack). Changed description of clones 'Super Galaxians (galaxiaj hack)' to 'Super Galaxians (galaxiana hack)' and 'Space Invaders Galactica (galaxiaj hack)' to 'Space Invaders Galactica (galaxiana hack)'.
- 0.133u3: Galaxian sound updates [Couriersud]: Moon Cresta and Galaxian now have their respective schematics emulated, i.e. Moon Cresta has a slightly different mixing stage. Cleaned up driver, added some section titles and comments, removed old code. Removed emu_timer, this was causing a stream of stream_updates only updating 3 samples. Replaced with discrete timer module DSS_TIMER now. Use DISCRETE_NOTE for pitch generation; it is more accurate (within the one ms where the pitch changes) and saves a node. Use DISCRETE_BITS_DECODE and save 2 nodes.
- 0.133u2: Created discrete sound emulation for galaxian [Couriersud]: Changed all audio related AM_WRITE to AM_DEV_WRITE. Moved discrete sound related pieces such as initialization into audio\galaxian.h. Split some memory maps into sound related and not sound related parts. Added possibility in discrete.h to select hardware (galaxian/moon cresta) at compile time. This leads to slightly different volume levels. Hit sound (explosion) has been hacked to increase volume. Currently, we can not accurately model the switch/opamp filter circuit. Rewrote timer code so that the pitch timer is only used when it produces audible results. Brian Troha fixed Kamakazi III's dipswitch setting (the same as superg) and relabeled it a superg hack. Also the dipswitch setting for the Taito license was the same as superg so I eliminated one. Changed description of clone 'Kamakazi III' to 'Kamakazi III (superg hack)'.

WIP:
- 0.167: Fixed horizontal partial updates in Galaxian driver [David Haywood].
- 0.153: Small cleanup [Osso].
- 0.152: Updated some commented code [Osso].
- 0.150: Merged galaxian.inc with galaxian.c driver. Modernized galaxian sound device [Osso]. Moved galaxian.inc contents (inputs, romdefs and gamelist) to galaxian.c [hap].
- 0.149u1: Changed galdrvr.c driver to galaxian.inc [Miodrag Milanovic].
- 0.147u4: Clarify some titles [hap].
- 0.147u2: Some manufacturer were wronly set to Nichibutsu [hap].
- 0.147: Move sx+1 up (sprites_draw), fixes stray sprite line at screen edge [hap].
- 0.146: Updated Galaxian driver to use modern I8255 implementation instead of the legacy one [Fabio Priuli]. hap fixed mistakes with MCFG_SOUND_ROUTE in MCFG_SOUND_MODIFY, causing double routing (louder volume + soundchip showing up twice in the sliders menu).
- 0.142u5: Aaron Giles fixed game resets right after loading auto saved state (galaxian, frogger and many others).
- 0.142u1: Atari Ace converted Galaxian driver to driver_device.
- 0.141u4: Added audio\galaxian.h. hap fixed sprite X offset in the Galaxian driver. Further decoupled some driver files to help driver_device conversions [Atari Ace]: Galaxian audio code get his own includes.
- 0.140u1: Derrick Renaud optimized speed of DISCRETE_DAC_R1.
- 0.133u3: Discrete sound update [Couriersud]: Removed global variable discrete_current_context. Discrete_info is now passed instead of device, we may get device by using disc_info->device. Added DISCRETE_IMPORT(*block): Imports another discrete block. Added DISCRETE_REMOVE(node1, node2): Removes a range of nodes. Added DISCRETE_REPLACE: Next node replaces existing node, thus preserving run order. Added DISCRETE_NOP(node): Does nothing, to be replaced. Added a prescanning stage to build final block list after execution of the above. The additions provide an easy way to document subtle difference between boards. Please see audio\galaxian.c for an example. DSS_COUNTER updates [Couriersud]: Clock_node no longer needs to be static for DISC_CLK_IS_FREQ. Rewrote inc/dec logic to avoid loop. Added DISCRETE_BIT(S)_DECODE [Couriersud]: Decodes individual bits from input values. Updated drivers which had macro DISCRETE_BITSET (which was a bit misleading). This should be slightly faster than using DISCRETE_TRANSROM. Discrete sound enhancements [Couriersud]: Put some life into RCDISC5 enable mode. This now acts as a switch between R and C. Capacitor voltage will be preserved if disabled. Made galaxian use the above. Saved 2 nodes and increased accuracy. Added DISC_LFSR_FLAG_OUTPUT_SR_SN1 flag to shift register noise generator. This will output the value of the shift register to sub-node 1. This is needed for future bzone discrete sound emulation. BTW: RCDISC5 will be used as well. Left a note on RCDISC3 on what is needed to be implemented for bzone. Optimized the LFSR a bit. LFSRs running at high frequency (> sample_freq) should benefit. Galaxian sound updates [Couriersud]: Moon Cresta and Galaxian now have their respective schematics emulated, i.e. Moon Cresta has a slightly different mixing stage. Cleaned up driver, added some section titles and comments, removed old code. Removed emu_timer, this was causing a stream of stream_updates only updating 3 samples. Replaced with discrete timer module DSS_TIMER now. Use DISCRETE_NOTE for pitch generation; it is more accurate (within the one ms where the pitch changes) and saves a node. Use DISCRETE_BITS_DECODE and save 2 nodes.
- 0.133u2: Created discrete sound emulation for galaxian [Couriersud]: Changed all audio related AM_WRITE to AM_DEV_WRITE. Moved discrete sound related pieces such as initialization into audio\galaxian.h. Split some memory maps into sound related and not sound related parts. Added possibility in discrete.h to select hardware (galaxian/moon cresta) at compile time. This leads to slightly different volume levels. Hit sound (explosion) has been hacked to increase volume. Currently, we can not accurately model the switch/opamp filter circuit. Rewrote timer code so that the pitch timer is only used when it produces audible results. Replaced Samples sound with Discrete.
- 0.133u1: hap switched Galaxian LFO sound to use the long-disabled NEW_LFO. It's not entirely fixed, but it's closer.
- 0.131u4: Brian Troha added documentation about the Galaxian bootleg hardware (redufo and pacmanbl) known as Artic Multi-System.
- 0.130u1: Couriersud adjusted volume in the Galaxian driver.
- 0.129u4: Aaron Giles fixed the Galaxian-derived games driver, which crashes with DEVCB dialog.
- 0.127u6: 8255 PPI interface cleanup [Aaron Giles]: Added MDRV_PPI8255_ADD, MDRV_PPI8255_RECONFIG and MDRV_PPI8255_REMOVE macros; updated all drivers to use them. Changed callbacks to device read/write handlers intead of machine read/write handlers; updated all drivers accordingly. Normalized function and variable names to be lower_under. Removed a number of redundant interfaces from the galaxian/scramble line of games.
- 0.126u1: Couriersud fixed cocktail sprite position in video\galaxian.c driver. Fixes that the frog disappears for player 2 if moved backwards.
- 0.125u5: Moved calipso, spdcoin, superbon, moonwar and moonwara to galaxian.c [Couriersud].
- 0.124u4: Couriersud fixed discrete sound and konami filter addressing in Galaxian driver. Also changed addressing of AY-3-8910 to be in line with schematics.
- 0.124u1: Splitted driver into galdrvr.c, galaxold.c and galaxian.c. Merged amidar.c and frogger.c with galdrvr.c driver. Added the Scramble driver games scramble, scrambls, explorer, strfbomb, atlantis, atlants2, theend, theends, froggers, frogf, amidars, sfx, skelagon, monsterz, scorpion, scrpiona and scrpionb to the galdrvr.c driver. Added the Super Cobra (scobra.c) games scobra, scobras, scobrase, scobrab, armorcar, armorca2, tazmania, anteater, losttomb and losttmbh to the galdrvr.c driver. Moved the Galaxian games scramblb, scramb2, 4in1, bagmanmc, dkongjrm, rockclim, ozon1, ladybugg, vpool, drivfrcg, drivfrcb, bongo, hunchbkg, harem, tazzmang, racknrol, hexpool, hexpoola, trvchlng, ckongg, kkgalax and porter to the galaxold.c driver. Galaxian rewrite. Ultimately will combine the existing drivers for galaxian, scramble, frogger, scobra, amidar and dambustr. For the moment, only a subset of games are implemented in the new system; the remainder are running on the old code. Main features are accurate video timing, correct stars implementation, better organization, simplified input ports and many other smaller fixes [Aaron Giles, Stephane Humbert]. Couriersud added discrete filtering and mixing to galaxian.c games using konami_sound. Aaron Giles fixed sprites are cut off on the top row in 4in1, gmgalax and pacmanbl and fixed the background is shifted to the right and cut off on the right side in pacmanbl and batman2. Changed visible area to 224x768 and palettesize to 32 colors.
