Ok - I have done alot of research over a year ago regarding the use of lightguns and Mame, but now I am very close to actually implementing what I have learned and am looking for more info and successful setups for tips before I actually invest the last bit of money. My video card is an ATI 8500 AIW, which is capable of using an adapter to get component output off the DVI. Adapter here (less expensive than ATI's part) $10 vs $30 http://cgi.ebay.com/HDTV-Component-Video-Adapter-DVI-I-to-YPrPb-NEW-Gold_W0QQitemZ9736270453QQcategoryZ61396QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I also plan on using this 24" 4:3 TV and mounting it at 90 degrees, I do not plan on decasing. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7006036&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03003&id=1099392081842 I am pretty sure I need to hook up the lightgun on the Green line of the component video. However, do I still need to set the video card to 15 khz using the adapter for component out? Would love to see examples and hear stories of successful setups similiar to what I plan on doing. |

Sorry I don't have info to help with your lightgun questions, but I must say that TV is a find for $139! Can you let us know how you like it? Also does it remember your last channel (ie. stays on aux) when you power off completely and power back on? I'm also wondering about decasing (it's too wide for my cab) but I guess you're not doing that. I've been dying for someone to show the difference in vid quality between s-video and component TV input. |

If you look at the MK2 pics, particularly subzero and scorpion masks, there is a noticeable difference in the detail that shows up between the two. Also on the |

Wow that is pretty significant. Thx for the link. |

OK - since no success stories, how about miserable failures? |
