I would like to use a "Enhance" Brand Power supply, commonly used in Mega touch table top games for a Neo Supergun. It has the proper +5 volt, +12 volt,
-12 volt and Ground. It is a 110W max PSU. Now, the power supply diagram reads this way:

+5v---10A (amp)
+12v---2.5A
-12v---0.3A

Will this be enough juice for the MVS? I know I fried a previous PSU by not supplying enough (or too much) ampage. Appreciate the help, thanks!

I just rigged mine up this weekend using a spare 420 watt power supply until I can get my tabletop Jameco psu in. It all looks pretty jank right now(half is on a piece of cardboard and the other half is in a tuperware container.


My brother and I went at Samurai Showdown 4 last night for about 3 hrs, it was awesome. I think that there is enough flashing colors in this game to give anyone epileptic seizures!

It has enough juice....
It could be TOO much amperage for your board, should the PSU fail or should your wireing/PCB get a short.

I'd get some fuses....

IF this is MVS only,

Put a 5 amp on the +5 and a 1.5 amp on the +12.

you don't need a -12 or a -5
