I bought a jamma adapter for my Galaxian board and I would like to
hook it up, but I've read that the board is AC and the jamma harness is
DC?

What should I do to get the galaxian board to work? Or do I have to?

Thanks,
Mike
 
The original Galaxian cabinet supplied the board with AC - there are diodes and regulators on the board. But it will work happily on DC - it just passes through one side of the rectifier bridge and gets regulated again on the board.

So, in short, you don't have to do anything special. Same with Pac-Man.

I got the same adapter on my galaxian board, just power it like a normal jamma setup, worked fine after I got the board fixed. Check my posts in the resto forum.
