I recently reconditioned a Neo Geo MVS-6 and used a normal arcade 110-watt switching PS with the typical filter and isolator rig. I was shopping for other things on Twisted Quarter and noticed they had a 150-watt power supply marked "for Neo Geo and Konami." Um, did I screw up? Does the NG need a 150-watt PS?

Thanks!
 
I don't think it will matter but I'll let someone else chime in. If you have a Kill A Watt meter you can always see how much power it is using.

For reference the acs home console's power supply is only 22 watts. The basic system doesn't draw that much power. While a 6 slot will draw a good but more power I don't see it needing but so much.
 
They'll run on a regular power supply just fine. Originally, though, the dedicated cabinets had those big rectangle silver box power supplies... so if you have a dedicated, and need to swap the power supply it's much easier to put the one that was in there, back in there because all the AC wiring runs through it.
 
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know. I'll leave it alone unless I start to see freeze-ups and other electrical issues.
