Hi All

I am just starting on a conversion projekt with my VF 2 cab. I will go with arcadeVGA since the NANAO 29" monitor is switchable from 25 khz to 15 khz.

My problem is, can i use the exsisting power supply ? I would also like to use the audio amplifier, because the speaker sound great and can play really loud and have a ok sound. Or should i make a pure PC solution inside with no use off the exsisting 12v supply and speaker amplifier ?

are you going to keep The original game int he cabinet too?

I will leave the original in the CAB, then i always can bring it back to the beginning. There is plenty of space to mount a PC MOBO, HD inside the cab, without removing things from the original.

I have the same cab and kept the Nanao Monitor at Medium Resolution with a Trident Blade 64 card.  I get alot better picture than the Arcade Card since I am at a high resolution. The only problem is that on higher resolutions I get a little flicker with interlace issues.  You might want to take a look at that route.

Virtual Fighter 2 has a great looking cabinet, wouldn't it be nice if someone would take the time to get and post the original cab dimensions.

I ask if it will be int he original cab because you could then run BOTH pcb and computer in the cabinet  Use something like multijamma, jpac, and arcadevga

Superdude, then you are running alot of games in strech mode ? What software are you using to get you Trident to funktion with the monitor.

If i use the arcadeVGA will it be nescessary to use the Ultimarc video amplifier ?

Do you have any pictures inside the cab of you modifactions ?

I used Easy Mame Cab CD as base install.  It has advmame and advmenu for Medium Resolution Monitors using a Trident Blade 64 Card.  The card is 36.45 shipped.
I was able to program all resolution through Advmame without stretching for most games.  It looks really nice, except you will have interlacing on a few games.

If you are going to use the Arcade VGA card you will need to switch the monitor to 15khz.    You will not need a jpac, however it is easy to wire if you have one.  The arcade VGA card is a very good card and I own one.  I have not plugged the monitor straight from the pc.  I do not know if it needs an amplifer.  I doubt it does since the monitor is a newer type.
