| Vector only MAME cabinet |

Well, I'm still working on my first MAME cabinet and already I'm planning the second. I always assumed that eventually I'd have 2 MAME cabinets. One with a horizontal monitor, the other with a vertical monitor. However, I've just realized that I need a third... A Vector only cabinet with a real vector monitor. I found this page that sells a product to interface a PC to a vector monitor to run all MAME vector games in their true glory... http://www.zektor.com/zvg/index.htm Look...Tempest on a Vectrex monitor... Hmmm... some vector games are on a horizontal monitor.... maybe I need 2 vector only cabinets. Curse this evil hobby. ;) |

Pardon my ignorance, because I have no idea how a real vector monitor works. Is there a way something like that can work on a color vector monitor? It would be really sweet if Tempest were in color in that picture. -S |

i dont think i even play any vector games.... ive tried a few in MAME. but whats the difference between tempest on my 21inch VGA monitor vs that old vector lookin thing? looks the same to me |

Sephroth57: Are you TRYING to start an "authenticity" debate?! ;D There's a definite difference, but it would only be an issue to a REAL vector game fan, probably. Perosonally, I'm not a huge vector game fan.... (with some exceptions: star wars has a special place in my heart, etc) :) |
| Sephroth57:
well i agree with authenticity to a point. but to go as far as degrading picture quality to look like it has 80s technology in it... i dunno thats a bit much for me. |
