Maybe while I'm at it I can also post about a problem I'm still actually having. There's a bunch of vague stuff about how you'll burn something out doing this, but nobody is ever specific. What is it that overheats when you hook up a JAMMA board to a non-JAMMA MVS cab, and why? Does anyone know?
I ask because I have a bit of a problem figuring out whether my MVS is actually generating stereo. First off, when it's hooked up in the usual stereo MVS arrangement, it does seem to produce sound on both speakers. Does this mean it's stereo? Well, I thought so, but I also can't for the life of me figure out why I'd burn the board out if it weren't, so it occurs to me that I may not know everything about the hardware on the other side of that card edge. So I'd just check the internet to be sure, but my MVS is apparently a bootleg -- a quite interesting one that nobody seems to know about so far -- and there's really no information on _what_ it ought to be doing.
I guess in order, what's actually the problem with a mono board in a stereo configuration? Does anyone know, in particular, precisely what is supposed to get too hot and cook itself in these configurations? If I wire things up in stereo and sound comes through both speakers, is that really proof that there's stereo output?
