I bought an old Virtua Fighter machine with the intention of stripping out the insides and installing a pc to run mame. Wanted to keep the original monitor (Nanao dual resolution MS8-26SU) but it's been a bit of a sticking point and I'm thinking it might have to go. Firstly, from what I have read on here I think I understand that I'm going to need an ArcadeVGA card to get the games to display correctly on the monitor, but I have also read that ArcadeVGA can't be installed on a Dell Dimension 3000 which is what I was planning on using.
Rather than buy another pc and VGA I'm thinking that it would be not only cheaper to buy a big pc monitor and use that, but also a lot easier which appeals as this is my first such project.
So what I'm asking is whether I have understood correctly about ArcadeVGA and Dell, and if so if anyone has any alternative ideas that would allow me to stick with the original monitor.
