Arcade Legends V1 to MAME conversion

[TeamPSI]

Hey all! It's been a long time since I have been here, but it's great to see this place still going strong.

I am a former owner of an upright but have been without for a few years. I recently got a hold of a mint Arcade Legends V1 cabinet, working great.

I am tired of being limited, so it's time for MAME. I am sure to be back for Hyperspin help, but for now, I just wneed help on getting the hardware in.


I will grab an ArcadeVGA card for sure, but from there, what is best to do? The monitor works great, so should I be looking to get a J-pac?

I would like to use the trackball. I think that I saw something about a HAPP adapter that interfaces it as a mouse in windows. Will this work in MAME correctly? I can just use this and not buy the Ultimarc trackball input, right?



SO I guess what I need to know is... is this the right list of things to get?

Arcade VGA
J-Pac
Happ Controls trackball / mouse interface

Sorry for the noob-ish questions. It has been a while.

First you should see if your installed monitor is VGA. Does it have a VGA plug on it?

Also, I might be interested in purchasing your leftovers from the conversion.

hey i also have a arcade legends and iam trying to convert it, did you get yours running

I have had it working but still having issues with the video. Andy from Ultimarc says its a H-Hold issue with the monitor, but I dont have an adjustment for that on mine. Frustrated and want to catch it on fire.

 So I was able to figure out the problem.  The adjustment for the H-Hold  is not located near the rest of the adjustments. After figuring that out the machine is working flawlessly using the ArcadeVGA 5000 and Jpac!   

 Thank you  Andy from Ultimarc!

 Everything is working perfectly!!!
