I just bought an ArcadeSD PCB, I have an old nintendo donkey kong, that was converted to a 60 in 1. The power supply in my machine does not hook to this pcb. So how do I get power to the board? I was told if I had a jamma board installed that this would just pug in? My screen is just green with the ArcadeSd board plugged in. Any help would be great!!

Looks like your edge connector has the power wiring hacked off. Time to rewire the machine.

Yep, you can clearly see where the 5v and 12v wires are missing. That power supply should be encased as well, might as well replace that while youre in there.
 
I wonder how the 60-1 is getting its power?

That's one ugly hack job on the wiring harness/jamma connector.
 
Yellow wire from PS to +12V on JAMMA connector. Red wire from PS to +5V on Jamma connector. Black wire from PS to Ground on JAMMA connector. Done.
 
Goog god......people just keep making those things cheaper and cheaper.......a crappy open face power supply, and a whimpy $5 Chinese JAMMA harness.

To the OP, I apologise for sounding like an ass. It just drives me crazy how crappy people are building these things......and preying on first time buyers....who simply don't know.

The original 60-in-1 board is getting it's power from that 3-position connector....looks like black/yellow/red wires. If they followed somewhat standardized wiring......black should be ground, red should be 5VDC, and yellow is 12VDC. I would double check this.....who knows what they actually did. You are gonna have to reroute these wires to the harness edge connector. This is the big black connector. You can see where some of the wires have been cut out of it. The black connector even has the 5V and 12V locations labeled. You're gonna have to solder the appropriate wires back to these lugs. The (assumed) black ground wires get soldered to the first lugs of the black connector. You can see some black wires already soldered to it's lugs.

Good luck,
Edward
