(Thanks Mark) Got 5.12v on the game PS, and a little lower on my Jamma rig. (Fluke giving me "Bad Pwr Supply" error) Getting there!

Got the right power to the board and the Fluke runs. Good bus, all 6 game ROMs don't SIG (might be bad). Need to still check the ohter ROMs through the Fluke and see if they check.
