Just a PSA for anyone purchasing a HAS, JAMMA extension harness, 3P4P module, and a 3P4P cable that you can pair the 3P4P cable with this $7 IDC cable (http://www.cablesonline.com/2434pinflopd.html) to extend the 3P4P cable to reach a similar length as the extension harness. I use it with my CPS2 multi and it works great!!

I have a Meanwell RT 125A and it works well for many boards, but there are a couple (NeoGeo MV-1C and PGM) that do not produce the required load on the power supply and therefore it does not power on with those boards (which are the ones I use the most). It does work correctly with CPS1, CPS2, Atomiswave and an MK2 board, though.
 
Hello everyone
I can now finally say i have my first HAS supergun (i know am late).
Thanks to the new store website it was super easy to order and came fast shipped to my doorstep in less than 2 days amazing.
I would highly recommend anyone looking for a quality supergun to check out this product/store if they are looking to get into the hobby.
Thank you guys i really appreciated all the hard work and innovations over the years. :)

Is this true of the newest models of the 125A?

I've heard you can bridge a 10W 10Ohm resistor between the 5v and common ground terminals and it tricks the PSU into thinking there is a load present.

I think the issue has been fixed in new models. The RD-125A I got last year works with PGM and MVS on a Minigun. I have an RT-125A on the way from Digikey and can test when it comes in.

No idea, my 125A has a few years already.

I think the same, however I have not tried it. I ended using the 125A for another thing and got an arcade PS to use with my HAS. Everything works correctly so far.
 
Has anyone used their HAS for 4P on a PGM? I recalled RGB used the PGM pinout for the 4P adapter, but I just realized that the HAS connector is only a 20-pin subset of the 34 pins on the PGM. I have 20-pin IDC connectors, but while it should be easy to shave off the key, shaving off the edge to help it fit next to the other 14 pins might compromise the connector casing.

4P adapter for PGM is a simple passive cable, that can be made with a 34-pin floppy disk soldered to a couple DB-15 male plugs:

Thanks! Putting together a janky homebrew cable was actually my first arcade project last year. I finally tested it today and confirmed I got the pinout wrong. 😅 Should be an easy fix. Still, since I now have these beautiful HAS 4P adapters, I'd love something more elegant-looking. Maybe I can make a 34-pin to 20-pin adapter.

I am also interested in a PGM HAS 4P adapter.
