happy Saturday night all fellow nerds.
i've been grokking out and obsessing about mods for my latest darling, and am currently on page 89 out of 116 pages of the owners club thread over on Pinside. i keep reading about how loads of different mods draw power and can cause resets, and folk talk about installing a 'power supply' somewhere and somehow inside the cabinet bottom, after the transformer (or before it?). Or someone else said about putting a new board in that supplies power drawn from the existing boards - though that seems wonky to me.
i can certainly see the logic - if a colour DMD and some lit-up neon bright thing are each 12V, and then maybe a shaker motor and could be some other damn lit-up thing, and especially if they all come on at the same time, and during multiball, and both of your flippers are going crazy, the last thing you want is a fuc_king reset while you're about to get your high score.
so please, someone explain what it is and how to do it cheaply and easily, preferably just a simple Amazon link and instructions on how to install it. ithangyou
(btw i know about resets in WPC games and about the no-reset temporary fix little £35 board, and the proper pinwiki list of things to do here, but this issue applies even to a game with a perfectly stable 5V, ad loads of us enjoy trying out new mods)
