You should have organised your power supply while waiting for the HAS! Silly boy. 
It’s not my fault RGB shipped to me faster than Twisted Quarter. lol :/You should have organised your power supply while waiting for the HAS! Silly boy.
Twisted Quarter is super quick! I got my Meanwell to Canada in less than a week!It’s not my fault RGB shipped to me faster than Twisted Quarter. lol :/You should have organised your power supply while waiting for the HAS! Silly boy.
That's probably because they don't use FedEx SmartPost for "international" shipping.
FedEx SmartPost is their default (cheap) domestic shipping, and it takes FOREVER. I ordered parts for my X-men restoration last Tuesday, and it won't be here till this Friday. This is State to state shipping for crying-out-loud! You know there's something wrong when someone in another country gets their orders a lot faster than someone domestic.
Spiral Cable Wrap.What do you guys recommend to wrap the power cables? I've seen some fabric-like stuff in photos. Not looking to do it in electric tape if possible
I use it on my cables for my HAS, and it looks classy. You can get them in different colours too. Clear looks great, but I've used black in other applications as well.

I've had my HAS hanging off the JAMMA edge of my CPS2 board for a few months now, is this a serious problem? The HAS sits a little lower than the CPS2 so I can't really put them both flat. That is unless anyone has recommendations for CPS2 rubber feet?
Yes, but RGB got to me in like 2 days, and that package shipped from Europe.
RGB sent via FedEx Express, whereas Twistedquarter is shipping by FedEx Ground.

i'd try to keep them on equal height if possible, given enough time it certainly can put some stain on the connector or warp the board. - i used a jamma extender for this purpose, doesn't need to be long but it's better for the pcbs...
Just play around with putting stuff under the HAS and CPS2 until the JAMMA extenders are available.. I put a big coffee table book under my CPS2 and then a cd jewel case under the HAS. And when I play my CPS3 with plexi case, I put nothing under the CPS3 and a PS2 game under the HAS.
Definitely. Over time your board may develop issues due to the pressure of bending the connector down.
Either get extension cables, or make your CPS2 board sit vertically so that the strain isn't bending the connector width-wise.

Glad I saw this. My HAS has been sitting flat with my CPS2 for nearly a month. Put a few books underneath to level it out.
Very interested in the JAMMA extension cables.
I have a question though, it looks like on the end that connects to the supergun it connects over CHAMMA with SHOT 1-6 all on the JAMMA edge. I see that there is a DIP switches to enable/disable those buttons on the JAMMA edge, but does the CPS2 connector have it's own independent wiring for the buttons that won't be disabled via the DIP switches? I figure that is the case but felt I should double check.
Thanks!

We had a LAN party at work a month back, and I can confidently say that a) the CPS2 is a glorious sight to behold on a 80" screen, b) multiplayer D&D and AvP are heaps of fun and c) you should totally buy a 3P4P adapter to go with your HAS.
Seeing the expression on people's faces when you tell them that no, the big green box on the floor isn't, in fact, a computer running MAME, also made lugging all the kit halfway across town totally worth the trouble.
