Title: Changing Power Supplies
Post by: zudmsc on September 27, 2006, 11:49:05 am

Ok, what is the best power supply out there?  I am looking at replacing the older power supplies in my cabs I just got.  I want to leave it generic enough that I can change from the original games to new ones and maybe MAME at some point.

Anything with a Peter Chou (distributed by Betson) name on it.

Though you won't be using a Peter Chou to power a PC for MAME-they're definately the best choice for an arcade power supply.

I bought this one. What I liked about it was the LED display that lets me easily adjust it to 5v.

Don't forget if you use a PC you dont need a power supply at all.
If you think about how you wire up your CP it's easy to  swap between Jamma PCB and PC. It takes me less than 1 minute to do so.
