Arcade questions
Question from Russell: I am rebuilding an old stand up arcade machine. I have a 60-in-1 Vertical JAMMA Board and harness. I also have a VGA monitor and a standard ATX computer supply. Is this all I need to get this game up and going? I also still have original 150w power supply. Thanks for your help, Russell

Response from Jonathan: Russell,
Yep, that should be it for the most part. You will also need a joystick and some buttons but your cabinet may already have those installed. The 150 watt power supply should be fine as long as it outputs the proper voltage for the JAMMA harness (+5 VDC and +12 VDC specifically). Some ATX computer power supplies require some additional wiring to get them to power on by themselves as they are usually made to where the motherboard tells them to power on via a button on your computer case. In this instance, you might consider buying a standard switching power supply like this one from Cajun Arcade to make things a bit easier on you.
Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your project.
