First Machine/ Johnny Nero into MAME
elkameleon:
I have mine hooked up through a component dongle that shipped with the card. kinda takes the thinking out of the equation. I just looked up your card, and the quick and dirty option is to just use s-video, which your card supports, but I would go for the DVI to component if i were you.

Yeah that's what Im doing for now..just using the S- Video. I think what we have concluded is, I need one of these..

The only issue with that is.. Im not sure if it will work, being as I have an Nvidia product. IE:
"This adapter is designed with an ATI chipset and works with graphics cards that output TV compatible (sync-on-green) signals. Please check with your graphics card manufacturer to see if this product is compatible with your computer."
I guess Ill have to contact Nvidia and see what they say.. UGH.. :( I don't see why it would be an issue.. but .. Im just learning about these things.. it may be something that I have yet to understand.

I can't see why ati's cards would output anything different than an nvida card would. I see no reason this adapter wouldn't work, but it doesn't hurt to do a bit of research as well.

...and if you contact Nvidia and they don't know for a fact they'll probably just say no it doesn't to cover their asses.

I quickly did some research, and yes, they do say it will NOT work with an nvidia card, you are better off prolly just picking up an older card with component out capabilities. Are you running AGP or PCI-e?
