No. Most MVS boards don't even have the -5v pins present on the JAMMA edge. Those boards often have "SNK" silkscreened in place of those pins (MV-1A, 1FZ etc).

who says yes? total fucking idiots. more likely you need to practice how to use search engines...I can't find a definitive answer online, some say yes, others say no
This is a good resource btw.: hardmvs.com
Thanks guys!
Do you know the minimum amps I need on the 5V and 12V rails?
I see here that this guy prefers 3A on +5V, isn't that a lot less than most of these "Arcade PSUs" provide??

Most arcade psus offer like 15A on the 5V rail and 3A on 12V. Just google.

For an MV1C, 1A is nearly always enough, though some carts will draw more. 2A will be more than adequate, but it won't ever hurt to go higher.

Indeed the highest current that was drawn so far on my MV1A is 1.6A. I've got the same readings for the MV1FZ.
