Might want to get a throw away JAMMA board for test purposes so you don't fry a 400 board on accident. ;)

I have a Double Dribble board for that exact purpose.

Post by: harveybirdman on April 19, 2016, 07:43:29 pm: -5 is only needed for a few games, most notably Midway games such as Mortal Kombat , +5 is good for 95% of all JAMMA.

But honestly it sounds kinda like you might want to read up some more before you get started.

There is the Wiki on this site, and Bob roberts also a ton of videos on YouTube.
