I recently acquired a Sammy Atomswave "BIOSHIP PALIDIN" cabinet with TECHNOS Combatribes installed. Needless to say Combatribes is pretty lame. I bought a SFII CE JAMMA board off ebay and it got tweaked in shipping - audio and graphics not working 100%. I'm now considering a conversion. The cabinet has had the monitor replaced with some Korean A-One monitor. Does anyone have specs on this (it might help me decide). It's 19" and I know it's an after-factory by the hack job they did on the back of the cabinet so the neck on the tube would fit.
I have an old MK40 encoder that I purchased long ago to build a MAME control pannel. It worked great but the programmability and the fact that they aren't really being sold/supported leads me to believe that this might not be the best place to start for a conversion.
I was then thinking J-PAC/ArcadeVGA. It might be the way to go..but its a bit pricey.
J-PAC might be a good thing alone...if it's woth keeping the monitor. I also have an old DELL (sony) 20" RGB monitor tht I could likely fit into the cabinet.
What do you guys think I should do. JPAC/monitor. JPAC/ArcadeVGA/Monitor MK40/Relay/Monitor MK40/DELL. I also have an oldish ActLabs light gun - but I don't think it'll work with the monitor..
If anyone has the monitor specs for the Korean monitor I have it may help me decide. The monitor is in good shape. The color and alignment are good. I have created a new control pannel for it with the JAMMA harness and added the kick harness for the SFII game (all worked - except for the graphics).
