5v reading, running ms9, naomi amp and fl tube. Adjustment all the way up.
5v under load, the smallest most pathetic pcb I own (atari tetris). It actually runs too!
What gives? A simple case of faulty/junk psu? It's brand new. Oh and no smart alec comments about the carpet

Maybe your definition of "fine" differs from mine, but I don't got too many pcbs what run off of +4v innit
Have tried various other bits (cps2, mvs, f3, jamma) and nothing else will get to video, so the reading appears to be correct.

Good shout, I'll have a word in Franco's shell-like, I try not to touch this wiring stuff myself. Gives me the willies.

Tsk! Those Wei-ya PSUs! Nothing but trouble!
Seriously though, I've used about 5 or 6 of these previously and have never had any issues. Bad luck

Was brand new from eBay via richy13 who never took it out of the box afaik. I had it from him in March tho and only just tried it, so it's my own fault.
Have just ordered another.

Did you check to make sure that it's set to the right AC input? This can happen if it's set to the wrong AC in (110v, in your case). There is a switch on the bottom of the PSU to change it.

There are modified versions to output 3.3V instead of 5V for model 3 use.

Hmm, I'm not sure I've still got the box, but I remember looking at it and I don't recall it being marked that way.
It's marked as +5V 15A on the psu label and I don't see a 3v version on the website (P03 series)
