60 in 1 question

[solid187]

My 60 in 1 should arrive today.  My question is 'can I use an ATX power supply to power it' or does it have to be an AT powersupply?  Thanks ahead of time.

The problem with using an ATX power supply is that it has a connector that registers the power-button through the motherboard, but the 60-in-1 doesn't support this.  You can short the two pins together that wait for the signal (or snip and tie the wires together) if you want.  It's easier to just get a power supply that turns on when the switch on the power supply itself is turned on.

It's cheaper (usually) to just use a switching power supply than an ATX or AT.  The only difference is you would have to tie the wires from the JAMMA connector to the lugs and tie 120 A/C into the switcher.  If that sounds too complicated for you, go with the PC-style power supply of your choice...

I simply went on craigslist and posted a WANTED: AT PS ad...I bought 3 for $11.00...

Now,  that said,  you CAN HEAR the fan of the PS in a quiet room...I am going to swap out the AT PS for an arcade switcher soon.  Arcade switchers can be had for $20 or so.

The 60 in 1 is JAMMA so it is powered by the existing Jamma power supply that's already in your game cabinet.
