Here's a nice tutorial:

It's not as clean or straight forward since the Pac-Man board has a power supply built into it.

Some of the fuses are for the AC power going to the board. So, I guess you don't need those fuses anymore. The fuses for the monitor and cabinet lights you'd still need.

I've never installed a switcher in a Pac, so follow Bob Robert's tutorial.

well i dont have a cabinet, im using a monitor that doesn't need an isolation transformer, i picked up the board for 20 bucks, not working but its missing an eprom which might be an issue. i want to get it working, so i bought a harness from bob. im pretty much just setting up a test station with it right now. Thanks.
