Price seems steep to me. Also not the time to be buying up quantities of cps1 boards given the darksoft multi is on the horizon. You'll need a different kick harness for cps2 (or an adapter which will be easier) but otherwise it will work.

Going on the schematic is right because if you trace it back to the supply to the flyback transformer the supply diode D502 is backwards feeding C503 which means the voltage is negative, so the +Ve of C503 should be connected to ground.
