I get the general idea of it, and I know that so far in my experience most 90's arcade units use +5v and +12, but what exactly does the -5v do?
I guess more specifically what I'm trying to get at is that my Konami cab has multiple games in it, and all of the manuals I've read for the Konami ones all say NOT USED for the -5v slot on the JAMMA and on the power unit...but I have NBA Jam also in my cab, and it's manual shows the -5v being used. I haven't had any issues with it NOT being hooked up, because it isn't currently...
...BUT what I want to do now, is add in Time Killers into my machine which REQUIRES the -5v to function. So, my actual question would be: Does anyone know if using the -5v will blow up or damage my Konami boards or my Capt. America board? Obviously NBA Jam should be fine since it suggests the -5v in the manual.
I would still like a general breakdown of what the -5v does too...
Thanks guys.
