I have connected the DB15 connector (break-out connector) through the screw terminal points on retro board.

Ok, so you connected the retroboard button inputs directly to HAS' button inputs. There must be some conflict with the HAS' or retroboard microcontroller then (because it's not a proper way to connect signals). I suggest using a buffer or at least diodes.
A voltmeter isn't the right tool for this and that measurement means absolutely nothing. You need to use an oscilloscope.
Do you have 5v connected from your DB15 to the retro board?

yes I do
Finally, it looks stunning in person! Total length - 69cm.
Bad news is that my cable supplier sent me only one set of cables instead of the full order (without my consent). Kind of shady given the fact I paid in advance and these cables were expensive (100% assembled in Europe). I just hope they send me the rest in the first week of January as promised :/

I assume that is because many people already have a HAS to CPS2 kick harness. I would prefer a HAS kick connecter input instead. But then people would needa different cable.
@kuze - when you use it with the HAS, you don't need the CPS2 kick header, because the HAS passess all 6 button signals via the JAMMA connector and you'll only need a standard HAS compatible kick harness for the other end of the extension harness.
If you use a different supergun that passes less than 6 button signals via the JAMMA connector, this is where the optional CPS2 kick header might come in handy.

Exactly. CPS2 kick harness is popular, doesn't matter which brand of supergun one owns. If I used a HAS style (6pin JST XH) input in the extension, then a non-standard kick harness between the supergun and the extension would be required.the Goat said:

There's a DIP switch for that (you can cut off buttons 4-6).

My HAS comes today, so I tested my MeanWell PSU yesterday. When there is no pull/stress on the PSU and I set the +5v to about 5.05V the 12v rail only gives 11,5v and -5 only gives -3,5v.
Is this normal when there is no "pull" on the PSU or is my MVP broken? I'm pretty new to this Arcade stuff, I know some console PSU:s give too much when not connected to consoles (Genesis for example), but this shows too litte...
To be clear, I don't have a HAS connected to the PSU, just used multimeter on the PSU itself.

This is normal. +12V and -5V are used by the audio amp, but its voltage tolarance is rather high, you'd easily get away with +11V even. Negative voltage -5V to -3V will be also enough from my experience, also remember that it's used mostly by very old PCBs (from the 80ies) and Midway PCBs.
Connect some game and then measure voltages again.
PS Your Genesis power supply is most likely linear and maybe even unregulated, that's why the voltage is higher with no load.
