Summary 01090: invadpt2, sicv: Watchdog reset.
Description It worked up to 0.111u1. The next version I have is 0.111u4 and the bug happens there.

What you need to do is clear out the first stage, but make sure that the last enemy you kill is one of the large ones from the left-most column. The game will award you a bonus 500 or 1000 points, then should display the usual SOS intermission. The problem is, after the bonus display, the game resets itself.

The error log says that the (time) watchdog caused it.

Since 0.123u3 or u4 the game will display "reset caused by the watchdog!!!" when running the attract mode for a while.

At least sicv is also affected by this. Sicv also displays the watchdog reset message since 0.123u3 or u4 in attract mode. You can tell it has this problem since the 0.111 release cycle by looking at the highscore, which gets reset after every attract mode cycle since 0.111u?.

Those seem to be the only 2 games affected by this in the 8080bw.c driver.

This seems to be a bit forgotten. I would certainly like to see it fixed or a workaround of some sort, Space Invaders is truely a classic.
