Hi, I am doing a little software R&D on controller I/O.
I am wondering if I can power a JVS without resorting to an arcade power supply so I can make a compact desktop setup for my experiments without using my arcade cabinet.
I`m not using jamma boards at all - the set up would be like this.
PC -> JVS -> JAMMA-> REWIRED CONSOLE JOYSTICK
the only thing needing external power in this setup, after the PC of course, would be the JVS, so I am assuming I could wire up a mains adaptor to the JVS via the jamma harness or CN7 +5V, although I am unsure if this is IN or OUT
So I wanted to know how much power Sega and Taito JVS units use, and would this idea be safe?
Thanks!
