    Quoted from DugFreez:

    SPIKE games don't have the 3 pin (G, +5, +12) connection that all SAM System games had. So that splitter (alone) wouldn't work on a SPIKE game.
    You would need a SPIKE 12v Power Adapter (which makes it so the SPIKE games do have the familiar SAM 3 pin connections) and then use that type of splitter.

    I'm seeing 12V at this connector inside the coindoor. The pins are around the other way from the SAM one, but any problem using this?

    Quoted from DugFreez:

    Do you mean you HAVE tested it and it's +12vdc? Except, unlike the SAM games, the +12 is on the bottom and the GROUND is at the top (pointy end)?

    It's on my KISS premium. Flat end is gnd, middle is +5vDC, pointy end is +12vDC. My SAM games have gnd at the pointy end.
    The harness is coming straight off the coin door node board, and only has those power cables in it. Probably just doing what the pinball life adapter is doing. Maybe they just started putting them in? And maybe they made them up backwards in error? That would be funny.

    This outlet on the coin door is only in the Australian market. It was specifically requested by the Aussie distributor to accomodate local bill validators. Hence no one else seeing them. That clears that up.
