Thanks! Looks simple enough.
So my next question is how would l turn the board on/off in this scenario?

Nephasth:
Unplug your power supply, or wire a switch in your power cord…

Nephasth, l can't thank you enough man; l wired her up to the PS and we've got picture!

Just 2 more question, on the back of my switching power supply there are 2 slots labeled "FG" and "MTR", do l just ignore those, what are they for?

- and last question, on my power supply there is an LCD screen with a readout and a knob; should l dial that down to 5.0?

EDIT: FG would be your earth ground. The bottom prong on your outlet is earth ground, in the cord it's typically a green wire. You definitely want to hook that up to your power supply. MTR... beats me.

That's your 5V adjust pot. Some boards are picky about their 5V. My new (to me) Raiden II board will boot, but lock up if the voltage is above 4.7V. My Medalist Dart Star Spectrum board will keep rebooting if the voltage is below 5.4V. If your 60-in-1 is running fine as is, I'd leave it be.


SEE EDIT ABOVE.

Here's a pic of what l've got:

The power supply has 2 spots for AC, l used them both (should l not have?). The cable that came with the power supply doesn't have a green wire, both a black and look identical. Should one go in AC and one go in FG, if so which one should go to which, does it matter? Or both in the two sepearte AC's like l've got it?

Right on, thanks. Also another question that popped up (l think this is my last) to l can put the board into test mode using the on PCB dip switches, and the manual says to click "TEST SW" to advance to the onscreen dip switch settings (disable certain games, adjust prices etc)... what is the TEST SW, is it just player 1 button?

Thanks again for your help, l couldn't have don't this w/out your help.
