I recently found a pinout for jamma pcb.

Can someone explain me what does '-5V', 'KEY', and 'Lock out coil' mean?
Look to the standard jamma pinout. Help would be very appreciated...

-5v is just that, negative 5 volts.
I think key is either a missing pad or a lump in the middle of the connector so you don't plug it in backwards.
Apparently the lock out coil connection is used to automatically reject coins inserted while the cabinet is off, but it isn't used much.

Ok, first off, Kyo, no. That is NOT what the -5 volts is. Do not even think about hooking up another devices 5 volt input to that pin. At best it just won't do anything, at worst you'll make your board go up in a flaming pyre. (ok, maybe just a fizzle of smoke, but it sounds cooler to have leaping flames and such! )aren't those coming OUT of the device you plug into the screen?
To get a -5 volts input you will need a voltage converter. I believe that an ATX computer power supply will give you a -5 volts just fine, along with your 5 volts, 12 volts, and I think even 1 -12 volts (need to check that)
EDIT: Yup, it has all 4!
Look on Jameco for the converter, they're lots of different kinds that can do this conversion.
One last thing, are you doing a Neo Geo board? If you are, you're in luck, because a Neo Geo doesn't use -5 volts at all, and it only uses the 12 volts for the big audio amp, so if you're portableizing or consolizing, you only need the 5 volts!
Alright, good luck!
Emulation isn't accurate. There is no substitute for real hardware!
