I got good news today. My new Cab's 29 inch monitor is switchable to 15khz. ;D Now I need to figure a way to switch between a dreamcast and a pc running Mame. The pc will probably go out using an ATI card running 15khz. (here I come ultimarc) the Dreamcast needs to be hooked up....Here's my question. Can I hack a scart cable to output rgb at 15khz... If yes what would be the best way for me to switch back and forth from a pc to a dreamcast for the Cab. and Last. whats the best controller to hack for a control panel. I'm going to start on the Cab this weekend!!!!! :D |

I used molex connectors to switch my arcade controls between the keyboard encoder and the DC controllers. When I want to switch systems, I have to lift up my control panel and switch molex connectors, (Example: from controls to pc would be switched to controls to dc). I used regular sega DC pads.

Hi jlampc !! I also have a DC plugged into my 15 KHz arcade monitor using an RGB cable. I have one question about the quality of the image. The problem is that the image flickers in my monitor.I don't know why, but it seems to be like when I run Windows on it in a interlaced resolution. When you finish your project can tell me how you see it ?? |

I find it easier to hack a DC-VGA box to output 15khz, and then just use a normal computer monitor switch box to switch between the DC and PC. |

Sorry no way around that. |
