Look at the smile on that dude's face. How can it be a fail?

Its about 10% fail 90% win
hes only a cheap TV and a bezel away from awesomeness!

25" arcade monitor > 17" PC display

Otherwise though, it doesn't look too bad to me. Hell, he seems to have gotten the controls to work nicely!

Not necessarily. There was just a picture posted, so I don't really know what it started out like. If it was a gutted cab, then he got it back to stock (sans monitor). If he's using MAME, that's something. If he's using an original board set and just put a POS monitor in, then yeah...FAIL

I saw the pic wrong. I thought it was 18 Wheeler. It isn't.

Edit: Nevermind. It IS.

What is it then? Side art, marquee, and screen all look like it.

I doubt he did anything more than plug the monitor into the NAOMI mobo, so the controls would still work fine.

~~Dunno, because the screen appears to be a different game.~~

Nevermind, just found a screen that shows it IS the game.

I was expecting the time limit in the upper-left corner, not GEAR, but that is from the game. It's been a long time since last played it (good game).

I'm guilty of doing this with my Golden Tee... I used an RGB encoder and PC monitor to make sure everything else was working before dropping the cash on a new monitor.

bkenobi · « **Reply #14 on:** September 09, 2010, 02:47:16 pm »

Wait, that means he just put a PC monitor into an otherwise working cabinet?

FAIL!!!

CheffoJeffo · « **Reply #15 on:** September 09, 2010, 02:49:54 pm »

Atta boy!

Fail would be a green screen monitor. Cut the guy some slack.

JustMichael · « **Reply #17 on:** September 09, 2010, 04:40:53 pm »

Perhaps the old pc monitor is just for now until he can get (afford) the proper arcade monitor? Glad he can still use the machine.

The NAOMI and Chihiro boards I know both supported RGBHV output, so the boards can output native RGBHV to any PC monitor and it should work. I doubt any real conversion was done to make this work.

Reminds me of this slice of awesomeness:

bkenobi · « **Reply #20 on:** September 10, 2010, 02:25:54 am »

Oooooh...a 13" display! Awesome!

severdhed · « **Reply #21 on:** September 11, 2010, 09:26:02 am »

what's next? are you going to make fun of my 17" LCD showcase cabinet too?

Turnarcades · « **Reply #22 on:** September 11, 2010, 08:42:12 pm »

Could do with a little more space on the control panel, but colour th monitor bezel in with a permo marker and you're good.

bkenobi · « **Reply #23 on:** September 11, 2010, 11:43:08 pm »

No way, showcases are a different ball game!

Malenko · « **Reply #24 on:** September 12, 2010, 09:15:13 am »

Aren't you supposed to put that little white "base" on the ground and then put the monitor on that? Then you would get a sore neck from having to look down at the monitor....
