Thanks for your help. I'll buy one of these Arcade cards. Have seen them for £57 +vat from Gremlin or I could buy an ATI 4000 (or less) and software mod it to work - as is my understanding. One final question if you know. The breakout cable has 6 inputs : R G B Vs Hs Gr. Only 5 cables from the monitor though : R G B and then twisted Wh & Blue plus a plain white. I'm pretty sure the plain white is the earth but that then leaves a single Wh & Blue cable for both the Vs and Hs connector. Anyone know which to plug it into? Also IS the plain white the ground cable? |

Jamma boards use a composite sync. So there is only one sync line. I know some standards may be different for your region (I'm in the us) but here is a good article from Bob Roberts that explains sync. http://arcadecontrols.com/BBBB/sync.html Also note that when you go to hook up your monitor to the PC, there's a chance that the image may be way too dark. If this is the case, you may need a video amp. Ultimarc has these. |

I'm still struggling to get this Nanao monitor connected to my PC using a breakout cable. I've attached a picture of the way it is currently connected which doesn't work. However I think I know what the problems are and I wanted to see if someone could confirm this. First, I've simply jammed the soft cable ends into each connector - I think this type of connector needs those hard pins? Second, there are only 5 cables coming from the monitor (in the picture these come from the bottom) but 6 inputs on the breakout cable. I've tried swapping the Blue/White cable from HSYNC to VSYNC but it makes no difference and doesn't work. So my solution is going to be to cut the connector off the breakout cable, twist the Green/white and Blue/white cables together (those 2 cables going into the top of VSYNC & HSYNC on the pic) and use a 5x terminal block to connect it all together as follows: MONITOR > BREAKOUT R > Br G > R Blu > O W > 5 ground cables Blu/W twisted together with G/W > Blu/W A big assumption here is that the White cable from the arcade monitor is in fact the ground. I'd appreciate any advice here please... |

How exactly is it not working? Is there no picture, is it real dark or is it not sync'd Also what Nanao monitor is it? I've only ever worked on one model of them but it was capable of either standard or medium resolution. You definitely do not wanna just have those wires stuffed in there. You may need to have the sync going to both the horizontal and vertical sync on the monitor. |
