Eygo Monitors (SnaaKe?) good for all games?
jjc:
Anyone with Eygo monitors - I am considering getting one of these after playing with TV-Svideo...
OK, the specs on an Eygo say max = 640x480. My question - can regular MAME or WINMAME pretty much work out of the box with this monitor - with -NOKA and -effect sharp and FILL THE ENTIRE SCREEN? I can do this with my TV output of my either GeForce or ATI card, but I hate the picture. My only concern is that the Eygo can't show ALL of the games (meaning just about all of them). Like I said I can pretty much get ALL of the games I have tried to fill the screen on the TV (but yes, blurry). I am looking to get crystal clear arcade-quality picture.

If you can get a working EYGO, then they are great. They look pretty much like a "real" arcade monitor, and blow away any S-Video setup I have ever seen. Games can be played in full screen right out of the box on them. My experience with the EYGO is at 640X480 at 60Hz (max). It looks awesome, and all games play fine on it (at least all that I play). Plus with the price of these things being so low, you can afford to buy 2 for 1/4 the price of a WG! The only thing I caution is if you are going to have one of these puppies shipped from NY to you, be prepared for a headache and a long wait. 34 days AFTER my credit card was dinged, I recieved the monitor. Not to mention I had to schedule the pickup and delivery on my own as Jim REFUSED to be any part of shipping. Anyway, that is my 2 cents.

Hey Electricd7,
Why do you say - "If you can get it working?"
Can I do just what I do with my TV out which is:
-noka and -resolution 640x480
?
With this command line options, it seems to ALWAYS fill the entire screen and it looks good. Can this be done with the Eygo?
electricd:
Yea its no different. I have just heard that a lot of people have had problems with thier EYGO monitors. Mine worked good however.

the problem was the shippers were breaking them during delivery, and even if they arrived working they sometimes broke. mine works peachy. I use Win32 Mame (MAME32) so I dont use command lines, but I set the res at 640x480 no scanlines or any crap like that......
Whats -noka do?
