Ultimarc ArcadeVGA PCI-E - Was I the only one who missed this?

Wow!  I'll be buying that card for sure.  I'm currently building a second pc and this will do nicely for my arcade cab.  Thanks Andy!
AndyWarne:
The 25 Khz resolutions it supports are 512 X 384 and 448 X 384. These should cover all 25Khz games pretty well. Of course you can run any other game at either of these resolutions by turning on hardware stretch.

TVs: As with the currect card the ArcadeVGA 2 will treat a SCART RGB European TV as an arcade monitor and display an identical picture to a real arcade monitor, provided the TV can be adjusted to eliminate overscan, which most can.
TVs used via S-Video or RCA cannot display any games at their native resolutions as they will simply display a TV picture (625 or 525 line interlaced) all of the time, ie not a great picture.
I have spend ages trying to get pictures of the LCD screen running Galaga but just simply failed to capture the quality. I have given up on this now. Seems taking pics of anything that emits light as opposed to reflects, is not possible without blurring. Unless anyone has any ideas..

Have you tried using manual focus and macro mode so you can get close (usually a little flower icon on the camera)?

If you have them available, a tripod and remote shutter button makes taking pics like that much easier.
kujina:
Also, pause the game.
Andy if yer want send me a new card and I will do some professional screen shots of both a pc monitor and an lcd, I'm in the UK  ;)
