If you are posting a bug that is not known, you need to show the original PCB's output either in snapshot or video form and better describe just what the problem with the color/palette. There is no way for a Developer to fix anything if they have no reference to go by. The one I see on youtube here seems the colors are a bit washed out for certain colors. I'd like to see more samples of original behavior before I'd assert that colors are indeed wrong. |

I have uploaded some pictures and a video from my game. Let me know if you need anything more. The colors are easiest to see on the high score screen. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b3rueah1vixv1lu/Eagle.zip?dl=0 |

Any chance you can dump the PROM from you PCB to verify it matches the one in MAME? |

Unfortunately I don't have the capability to dump chips right now. |

I'll acknowledge this while it's investigated further. |

I have dumped the PROM and confirmed that my cabinet has the same one that is in MAME. I connected a broadcast monitor to the outputs on the board and found that the board was displaying the same colors as MAME. Examining the wiring found that in my case it was swapped around. On the game board, Green connected to Red on the monitor, Blue connected to Green and Red connected to Blue. I looked through the manual at arcade-museum.com ( https://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-videogames/E/Eagle.pdf ) and under the section "Point Scoring" the enemy colors are listed, these are accurate with the colors displayed on the game when the wiring is swapped. I believe that this was intentional and that the only adjustment that would need to be made to the emulation would be the color swapping. |

I took a look at different Youtube videos of the game. Some of text color is different and your player's ship colors are different. It appears that some of the RGB colors are just swapped. |

That video is exactly what mine looks like and what (I believe) it was intended to look like from the factory. I'm not sure if this affects the eagle3 boardset, I suspect it does but couldn't say for certain until someone with an original cabinet could verify. |

I have figured out what colors are swapped. I seen two different Eagle video and boardsets and the colors are the same. Instead of R,G,B it is G,B,R. src/mame/video/galaxian.cpp By test compiling the Galaxian driver to try it out the colors are fixed. However a separate entry needs to be made in the driver just for Centuri Eagle and extra romsets. palette.set_pen_color(i, rgb_t(g,b,r)); |

Thanks for pointing out the eagle3 romset that uses the Moon Cresta ships instead of the modified ones I wasn't aware of that version. |
