+5 for optical joystick

[complexz]

I recently had to remove a stick from my cab and I have a old happ perfect 360 joystick laying around I could use temporarily. But I honestly don't know where I get the +5 connection from.

my cab is a 2 slot original neo-geo cab.

I see a few +5 connections on the jamma harness pinout but I have no idea if I can just leach off one of those or what.

I'd suggest getting a normal joystick in order to not have to modify the wiring on your cab, but if you really want to use it you certainly could tap into the +5v on the jamma harness.

Personally I would get it directly from the power supply if at all possible, it'd be a far neater solution.
