Powering Virtua Fighter 2 Rev B

[Segafan1985]

I bought a loose VF2 board and this harness. I also bought a Model 2a Filter Board. I want to put this in an Astro City 2. I am a bit confused by those black connectors though.

Would those connect to an external power supply like a Sun Power Supply or does VF2 get powered by the jamma edge? I have a spare Sun PSU if needed.

I also read that you cant run VF2 without the cage because it needs to be grounded? Is that true? Thank you.

Black connectors connect to a PSU, or possibly a Blast City IO.

There's no wiring for power on the jamma edge connector.

You can definitely run these boards without the cage.

I wonder if I can use the SUN PSU to VF3 power adapter I got from Lemony. Yeah i was starting to think that was a VF2 harness for a Blast City or something.

That harness looks like it is originally meant for model 3.

I am thinking you might be right. I contacted the seller.

The title lists Model 2 but then description shows Model 2 and Model 3.

You're right. It has wiring for 3.3V.

Maybe it was meant to be paired with a NVS-4000?

Confirmed seller said it is for NVS-4000

In Japan was VF2 originally released in New Astro City cabs?

I just recently picked up a Dead or Alive board similar to this. I'm thinking about getting one of these in order to connect it to my Blast City.

Model 2 to Jamma

That is the other one I was considering as well.

I haven't bought it yet, but I would assume it's what I/you would need in order to get things running. I'm unsure about sound, but assuming the blast city has an amp built-in (I think Astros have them too) I'm sure it will work.

I bought an rca adapter for model 2a from the same seller to run to an external amplifier for now for stereo sound.

I just didn’t wanna plunk down the cost of the harness if possible. I may need to if I can’t adapt the Sun PSU to the black ends of the cable.

The “black ends” are amp UP connectors (https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/AMP_Universal_Power)

They connect to a model 3 power supply (which is in a blast city)
