Well, I typed up the docs for someone, so I decided to add the pinouts
and post them to the net. Someone please check the pinouts over and if
they look fine, upload the file to wiretap(Can't do it myself).

The top one (slightly larger) is the CPU board, has the 4 processors
and program EPROMS, and h

Galaga DIP switch settings.
There are two sets of DIP switches on the Galaga CPU board. They are labeled
6J and 6K (6K is on top).
6J is used for setting the difficulty of Galaga. Switch 7 is not used on 6J,
the rest are as follows:
Switch #1 is used for selecting the type of 1 or 2 player games:
When this switch is OFF:
1 Player Game: Press the 1 player start button.
%w, 3, 4, or 5 fighters.
2 Player Game: Press the 2 player start button.

Defender Cheats and Strategy
Submitted by Unknown
When you get your last official guy before 1,000,000, every time you score, you'll get an extra man.
The trick we used was to win 100+ ships between 990,000 and 1,000,000, thus fooling the game based on where score rolls over rather than where ships roll over. The version where you win 100+ ships has been tested, the version where you win 256+ ships never was because:
