So, I recently got a KI board and want to test it on one of my candy cabs and at the moment leave it in there temporarily. I actually have the KI cab but its all taken apart at the moment.

Is there any adapter I can get or need or can do to be able to play in a blast city?

The other cab thats close to an American cab is my neo geo 2 slot that I can test, but im scared of plugging it. Im already nervous at the moment cause I plugged it in blast city and all I got was blue screen coming down and just stayed there. Hopefully I didnt messed it up since I hear these boards are touchy.

Blast city power supply doesn't produce -5V and Killer Instinct pcb needs it based on the user manual. You can check if your Blast City Jamma harness returns -5V.

Blue screen probably is another issue. Did the pcb work before?

I got it from ebay seller and it showed a video showing it working. I just got it today and trued testing it on one of my blast cities and thats when I got that blue screen and froze.
 
To test the pcb, I would make sure I connect the pcb with an arcade machine with a Jamma harness and check with a multimeter all voltages coming out from the harness are 5v, -5v and 12v. 12v can be less than 12v I think. Then check again the voltage once connected the pcb and adjust them to 5v, -5v and 12v.
Neogeo 2 slot motherboard edge connector is not a standard Jamma.

The issue could be the bad hard drive or bad hard drive connector.
Before troubleshooting I would contact the seller regarding the issue.
