Home Arcade System

My number was finally called! My package of HAS goodies arrived last night. No joke this came faster from overseas than stuff I've bought from New Jersey (I can see New Jersey from my place).

Thanks @RGB

Didn't have much time to play with my new toys but booted up a board and saw it in all its glory. Love the black PCBs too. Very sexy and an awesome addition to my arcade arsenal.

He shipped an item to me once (from Poland to NYC) in the afternoon and it arrived at 9am the next morning. Some wizardry going on over there.

Congrats! Curious, when did you get on the waitlist or put your order in? I'm not even on a pre-order list so I think I'm months/years behind everyone else.

Around June I think...? I remember at the time that batch was expected to ship around October. Anyway you're probably fine since RGB is working on a webstore to start soon - no more old pre-order system.
 
Just preparing my PSU for the HAS arrival... Can someone please confirm if I have this right? I live in NZ so I think these colours are correct... Terrified I've got it wrong and I'm gonna blow the thing up!

I worked it out as:
Green/yellow = Earth (E)
Brown = Active/Phase/Live (A/P/L)
Blue = Neutral (N)

Related question: can I switch it on as it is now (checking for a green light) to confirm it's wired up correctly? Or do you have to have the other terminals connected to something to avoid damaging it?

It is best not to energize the power supply without a load on the outputs. That said, it is probably fine to fire it up for 2.2 seconds.

Green Earth

Blue AC \ N

Brown AC \ L

No load needs to be drawn but test JAMMA edge for PSU voltage.

Adjust 5V to 5.05V before hooking up a board by turning the the voltage screw on your PSU.

If you don’t have a multi meter use a pcb attached and the meter built into the has to adjust
 
Finally received my HAS which I am very excited about! I do have a few questions though, that I hope can be answered.

First, I have so far used the cheap retroelectronic supergun sold from France. This worked well with a PC power supply that I had, but I see in the manual, and in every discussion of the HAS, that it is recommended to use a genuine arcade power supply. I could order one of course, but just want to make sure that it wont work with a PC power supply first. It would of course be more practical for me considering I already own one. So could it work? Or do I need to buy an arcade one?

Second, about the video output cable. If I am reading the manual correctly, I can not use the mini-din cable that came with my Framemeister because it is wired for input, and i need one wired for output. However, when I frequented this board and ended up preordering the HAS about a year ago, I specifically asked about this, and a member said I could use it. So what is correct?

Just want to end my post by saying that the supergun looks great, and that I am really looking forward to using it!

I honestly would stay on the safe side and get yourself an arcade power supply. The recommended one to use by the majority of HAS owners would be this model- https://www.ebay.com/itm/Prima-Black-Switching-JAMMA-Power-Supply-5V-12V-MWP-606-/391789204197

For the video output cable, it has to be an 8-pin mini din scart cable. Your best bet would be to get one from retro access. I use this one and it works phenomenally- https://retro-access.com/collection...aflex-8-pin-mini-din-rgb-scart-cable-for-mods

Or if you want a video/audio combo which includes a 3.5mm jack built in to plug into your HAS, I would grab this one- https://retro-access.com/products/n...-stereo-rgb-scart-lead-for-rgb-upgrade-boards

I've finally joined the club and got a HAS but haven't hooked it up yet as I'm needing a video cable.
Is a 8 pin mini DIN to SCART the only option? Will one of the 8 pin mini DIN to VGA work?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-DIN-8...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

This would be much easier as my TV has a VGA input.

The mini din 8 to VGA cable you linked to is wired completely wrong for the HAS. It could damage the HAS and/or your TV if you use it.

Even if it was wired correctly, the HAS produced RGBS (red, green, blue, and composite sync) where as the vast majority of VGA inputs require RGBHV (red, green, blue, horizontal sync, vertical sync). You would want to use an active converter, like an Rxtron RGB 202 or similar if you wanted to use a VGA input with the HAS.

Not necessarily, some monitors I owned work perfectly fine with 15k RGBS over its VGA (DE-15) port.
Nec XM29, Pioneer PDP-V402 etc.

Did not look into how that specific cable is wired on the DIN side, so can’t comment to that :)

Thanks Goat, makes sense.
Looks like I'll opt for a Scart to an OSSC.
 
Is there a thingiverse for the 3D Printed Meanwell MWP-606 Power Supply terminal block cover? I feel like someone posted one up a bit ago, but couldn't find it through searches.
