Figuring what out? Breaking a board? No, I didn't break one. It's just that somebody told me that the current power supply might damage the games in the future. That's why I want to know if he's right.

Here we have a page with arcade manuals. "Street Fighter II" is also on the list.

In the "Street Fighter II" manual, the following is written:

Power requirements:
FCC Approved power supply
+5 VDC | 7 amp
+12 VDC | 1 amp


Why are there two values? Do I have to add them up? In that case, we would have
5 * 7 + 12 * 1 = 35 + 12 = 47W

My power supply is only for 42W. So, does that mean it isn't good enough? Or do I just have to take the higher value from above text, i.e. 5 * 7 = 35W?
