Yes I do have -5v and I installed in a new 78L05 Here is a schematic by the way

It's doing this inside the cabinet (with various boards) and outside on my test bench. On my test bench I have a resistor connected directly to serve as a load so it's not a wiring issue. This PSU was having the same issue before capping it. Was hoping it would solve it but it did not.

I'm working on a 400-5261 power supply from a Sega Astro City. The 5V can be adjusted above 5V with no load but under load it won't go any higher than around 3.5 to 4V. I have replaced all caps other than the filter cap (tests fine). Anyone have any experience with this PSU or any pointers?

I have a pair of ID3 as well and I would love to do the same. Did you need any other hardware other than the PC, LCD's and FFB pro boards? I'm mainly looking to run arcade racers and newer ID games. Would love to hear some more about your setup and any other info that could help me.

Does this support analogue controls? Wondering if this is the best option for running PC in an ID3 driving cab.

Anyone familiar with Initial D machines from China? A guy I know bought a load of games that were imported from China at some point. I am assuming they are bootlegs or knock off of some kind because it doesn't say Sega on the marquees. I'm looking at buying the pair of these from him. Is it...

Has anyone had any luck ordering any of these recently?

How much does a repair from Sharp typically cost for an MS2930/31?

I just had the exact same issue. I recapped the amp hoping that would do the trick but it turned out r1 was open. Thanks man!

Actually I checked the 5v into the board and it was only like 4.93v. I bumped it up to 5.06v and the games are now loading. From what I've read about Chihiro it seems for netbooting you always need a pic but it can be an original pic from a game of you are using the python script. I'm using a...

Does this firmware work for netbooting as well?

Since I'm using the python script, I don't have a zero key installed.

I have Chihiro Type 3 I pulled from a Maximum Tune 2 cabinet that I am trying to boot in my Initial D 3 cabinet. I have the system connected to my network via ethernet and I am trying to netboot from my PC using the naomi_boot.py python script. I am able to netboot fine using the Naomi now but...

I was able to netboot with the python script no problem. So something must be wrong with the way I am burning the pic.

Yup. This is my setup.
