Dude, if you're going to upload a pic please make it a jpeg. A 900k bmp is a wee bit excessive don't ya think?

Point taken. This was the first image I ever uploaded.

I'll go checkout the Neo-Geo forums and see what info I can dig up.
While I'm waiting for the torx bits, I installed the J-Pac and ArcadeVGA cards into my Mame computer and the Impress cabinet. Video came up without any problems.
For audio, I hooked my audio out from the PC to the Q-Sound amp/processor inside the Impress. Worked ok for most of the mono-games, but for the Capcom Q-Sound games, I get double echos. Almost like the game is emulating the Q-Sound, and then the Q-sound amp/processor is applying its own on top. I haven't figured out how to turn off Q-sound at the software level yet.
Thanks to the J-Pac/I-pac shifted key functions, I can run my pc/cabinet without a mouse or keyboard. I'm still using Mame32 GUI, and the shift functions of the J-Pac allowed me to traverse the dir structures in Mame32 GUI and start games using the P1 joystick and the P1 start button.
Once I get everything close to my final setup, I'll disassemble the parts and take pictures. Then I'll put up a web page to help out those doing the same thing.

Look forward to the pix.
I would like to own a Japanese cabinet, but here in the UK they are a very hard item to obtain.
