wiring up a 60 in 1 multiboard?
CheffoJeffo:
TEST SW is pin 15 on JAMMA (which is shown as unused in Neph's diagram.
Nephasth:
Not my diagram (see the watermark). His inquiry was regarding power, and that pinout was sufficient to answer his question. With anything in the quest for knowledge, it's best to consult multiple sources.

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.

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?

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.

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.

best guess i can wager with the MTR lead is you tap whatever voltage you need to monitor on your meter to this terminal. i cant read your pic but it says something about the voltage range... but if it works without it...leave it be. no sense fixing what isn't broken.

I'm guessing that the reason l only have two cords coming off of my power cable is because it's a 2 prong cord... so a 3 prong cable would have the FG (earth ground) cable, yes?

Yep, and I would recommend using a 3 prong plug/cord. And you asked about it earlier, but keep your AC wires on the two seperate AC terminals, otherwise you'll create a short and pop a circuit breaker at best.
