DVI or VGA - Best connection from PC to TV

What Arroyo said.
Also, Soft15kHz might still work for Win XP builds if you don't upgrade to SP1... Not to mention the need to hunt down a GPU old enough to work with it.
Using a modernish low-end Nvidia card and trying to force outputs using CRU and the NVCP might work a bit better, but then again it probably won't.
An ArcadeVGA card might work, but then again you might run into setup issues on Win 7 or newer, and there's no fix.
crt_emudriver is by far the best option for 15kHz output from a PC. It does require a Radeon HD 5000 series up to about the R7 300 series to work easily, but older cards and Win XP are still a better option than Soft15kHz if you already have the hardware.

Based on my chip setup not having an RGB input, I think I am going to have to find another TV to use. Any suggestions before I trash this one?

Here is another diagram

Sorry was out of town for a few days. I don't know that I would be a lot of help as I haven't done any mods myself. There are a number of folks on here that have, and if you bump this over to the GroovyMame forum you might get their attention. I do plan on doing this to a number of sets that I have picked up, but my current project has commanded my focus. Alternatively, you can start reaching out to the folks at the Schmups forum that I posted the link to as they have a lot of experience.

all you have there are the schematics for the main computer... nothing there is of help. if you are going to attempt RGB mod, you need to look at where the video from your OSD is going... this is going to run into an amplifier the drives some transistors that actually drive the guns in the tube.
i feel you may not have the expertise needed to do a mod like this and you may be better of obtaining a ready made solution like an actual arcade monitor... or an older CRT VGA monitor.
