| BUCKETHEAD:
I have a empty ROLLING THUNDER cabinet, That im not planning on doing anything with. I am thinking about making something simple and cheap, For my Best Friend's little brother. (He wants a ARCADE MACHINE bad!) I thought about hacking a JAKKS MS. PAC-MAN and putting it in for him. (He loves my real PAC-MAN cabinet) ;) My question is this? I want to put an Arcade power supply in it. Will the 5+V be enough to run the hacked JAKKS stick? Or will i need more Juice? And will i need to put some fuses in between the AC cord and the Power Supply? I want to light the Coin Door with it to. I know it will not be functional. But it will give the setup a more realistic feel. That is why i would like to run everything with an Arcade Power Supply. Thanks for any suggestions? Bucket ... |

Do Jakks games come with their own power supply? |
| BUCKETHEAD:
Yeah, Batteries. Which would be a pain in the @ss! To have to change out when they die all the time. I know some People have Hacked some JAKKS games here before. But im not sure how many Volts they require? And if they can be run off the 5+V on a Arcade Power supply? I had in mind something like this? 15 AMP Penn-Ray Powertec |

Yeah, it'll work fine. Kind of overkill, though. You may have a wall wart (wall transformer adaptor) that can work. Just make sure you measure the voltage before hooking it up. Even though it may *say* 5V, it may output much more. |
