Forgive me if this is in the wrong sub-forum, I am still a bit new to this forum after all!
I just purchased an MV2F from a member here and am planning my first CMVS build. I'm going to use Xian Xi's two slot guide from JNX as a reference. I have no need for composite or component video, so I'm going to pull straight raw RGB from the board to feed to my XRGB Mini.
My plan is to use the following 8-pin DIN connector for the video/audio:

I'd like to output stereo sound rather than the mono sound that the AES outputs, so my plan is to use the unused pin 7 for the additional sound line. pin 3 will be sync and will end up at the scart pin where composite video usually leads.
I modified eviltim's pinout image to show my plan (gave credit to the original page, but if for some reason it's a problem that I used his image, I'll be happy to take it down):

Does anyone see any problems with this diagram? I'm concerned that the JNX image shows pin 7 as being used for sync, and pin 3 for composite video. Should I switch pin 3 and 7 in the diagram?
I also plan to use the following rocker switch, power barrel connector and power supply to provide 5v to the board:
rocker switch: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/1-1571076-0/450-1810-ND/529580
power connector: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/PJ-005A/CP-5-ND/165838
power adapter: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/EPS050100-P5N/T1132-P5N-ND/2361003
Do you guys think that the power adapter I linked would provide sufficient power to the board?
I plan to use the onboard joystick ports on the MV2F, so that covers gamepads. Any thoughts or insight that you all could provide would be highly appreciated, as I'm completely new to this!
Thanks in advance
