So I purchased a Gallag board (Galaga Bootleg) because I wanted another game in my Ms Pac, but do not like the poor quality of emulation provided by the icade 60 in 1. I didn't want to hack up the wiring in my cab so I purchased a pac to jamma adapter from lizard lick amusements.

I also purchased a jamma adapter for my Gallag board in order to plug it into my Ms. Pac. I booted it up and the screen was giving me a bunch of garbage and I couldn't get it to sync correctly. The board was also giving me a ram and rom error that I could barely read as the screen was going haywire.
I measured the 5v on the gallag board and it was reading a measly 4.1V! I had done some research which said that gallag boards are more sensitive that other boards when it comes to the 5v. I would think most boards won't run on 4.1v though.
I plugged the board into my MAME jamma cab and it booted right up with no problems, unfortunately it has a horizontally oriented monitor.
My question is this. How much power do these boards take? The lizard lick deluxe pac jamma adapter says that it will source 3A @ 5V which I would think should be plenty. The 5v voltage regulator at U1 was getting super hot when the gallag board was plugged in so I think that the board was probably too much for the adapter.
Anyone have an experience like this? I really don't feel like installing another harness in my ms pac.
