Adding -5 Volts
to your MVS harness
|
| One
of the things that makes a MVS wiring harness different from a Jamma
wiring harness is the lack of a -5 Volt line. You need -5V to be able
to play certain Jamma PCBs. So, here goes another project. |
 |
This is a close
up of the MVS PCB Jamma edge connector. Look at the 2nd contact
to the right of the narrow notch. Notice there is not a lead coming
off the contact? That is where the -5V lead goes. So, you can see
that if you add -5V to your harness it will not damage any of the
PCB components, because the voltage will never get there.

This is the
power supply for an original SNK MVS cabinet. See the white wire?
Guess what? It's a -5V wire. It even says so on the yellow sticker.
These are generic power supplies, and they carry the standard voltages.
So all we need to do is get the white wire to the PCB, and it's
really pretty simple.
