Creating a Konami Multi-cab - general harness question

I'm in the process of creating a Konami multi-cab and I'm working on the harnesses for the 6 boards. The question I have is this... The Konami pinout (and many others for that matter) show multiple pins for +5v and for GND. Is it necessary to run individual lines for each one or can I get away with tying them together just after the original edge connector.. and then just create jumpers on each board's edge connector to recreate the multiple pins.

Any reason why they should be separated? Just trying to make the harnesses as clean as possible.

(to answer the inevitable question): No, the boards will not be powered all at once, the switch will shift power to each board individually.



Thanks,

Tom

On my Jamma->36-Pin(Konami) adapter, I just tied them together. Works fine.

Good luck with the project, I'm stuck have'ng to swap the boards out manually... then again, I'm just running 2 games most of the time (TimePilot84 and Rush'n'Attack)
