tv to arcade hack, nned help understanding.
abispac:
So ive seen several videos on how you can plug your rgb outputs directly to a tv chassis chip and get a working crt monitor, some need adjustments and some dont, the part i dont get is, if an arcade game is 15khz , can it be plugged in directly? as the videos i saw they plugged consoles of thos 60 in 1 boards, plus, if i use a computer with mame, would i need to get those 5khz out like with groovymame and the drivers or will it work without those? thanks for any help.
I found some tvs on the trash and will be experimenting with them.

Fix the arcade monitor you are working on first.
---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. You have started and dropped like 4 projects since I ordered parts for the monitor I am working on.

well , im just asking for information, im not currently working on it, plus if you cant do more than one project at a time ,that aint my problem, dont project yourself on me. And also , im on quarentine, so i cant go out to buy the parts i need, and not everyone can afford shipping, so i do what i want, and thanks for just bumping my topics... :cheers:
O yeah, yesterday i returned the chinese chassis for a working one, now i just need to fix the pacman monitor once i find an iso and the transistor that i need to change, so that be on hold for at least 15 days, so ill probably work on this rca crt tv, its currently working apparently dosnt need much work, so yes, thats next.

Mike A (and literally everyone here) is actually trying to be helpful so I would suggest being mindful of that in your replies.
To successfully do what you are talking about with a consumer TV practically requires being a crt technician/engineer with a lot of experience.
I'm sharper than the average bowling ball and 6 months of research has taught me I'm not ready yet.
Deepest rabbit hole in the hobby as far as I'm concerned.
By the time you sort out how to properly use any consumer TV as an arcade monitor we will all be out of quarantine.
Get on Mr. Gore's internets and start searching because no one anywhere can give you an all situation step by step solution to make it happen.

Eh. He can feel free to ignore me. I just throw my opinions out there. If he can tackle a bunch of projects all at once then more power to him.
