Dreamcast in a cabinet..

<< < (2/2)

Dave_K.:
Is everyone smoking crack in this thread? :)

First of all, the Dreamcast to arcade monitor hack is very simple, and fully documented in the byoac console faq:
http://www.arcadecontrols.com/arcade_consoles.shtml
All you do is snip one wire.

Second, since your cabinet uses a Med Res monitor (24khz), you will  find that the dreamcast can NOT output that frequency (only NTSC-15khz, and VGA 31khz).   Sorry but you are out of luck.

Although in this particular case swapping the monitor out with a TV is a plausabile option, its only because this is a medium res monitor.  But I'd take a std res arcade monitor over a tv with s-vid anyday of the week!  So probably swapping the med res monitor out for a std res monitor is a better option IMHO (otherwise you have to kludge a way to securley mount the TV in the cab).

jlampc:
good news. my monitor is switchable to 15khz... ;D


I am looking over the link for the VGA hack as we speak. My final plan is touse the dramcas and a pc for mame. My issue is how toswitch back and forth....I'm also stilltrying to figure out what the different wires do...sigh....


thanx for the help
