| A little dilemma (to keep the monitor or not?)... |
| (1/1) |
| Jeff AMN:
Ok, I've been put in charge of building the office MAME cab and I'm 99% there. I've finished the CP, the computer setup process, and everything else except for getting the darn thing to work well with the arcade monitor. I'm using a standard res monitor taken from a SFII machine. I'm using an ArcadeVGA 2 and it's almost working well, but every time I move from Windows to the front end or from game to game, the image rolls. Each time we switch games, I need to adjust the hold pots to get it in view...but it still kinda sucks. So, here's the issue. Is there a way to get the setup working where I don't have to fiddle with pots every time we swap games, or is this just something you have to deal with if you don't have a multisync monitor? Should I just go the TV route (like I did with my home MAME), or is it worth fighting this thing for a bit more authenticity? Any help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. |

What I have found is that certain resolutions work with each other. I found 640x480 in the front end works great with ***x240 resolutions and 800x600 menu resolution works great for ***x288 resolutions. If you mix them up, you get roll. |

Do you know exactly what model monitor it is? And are you running it with seperate or composite sync? Sounds like a minor sync issue..... ya might just be able to fiddle with different resolutions and see if it accepts one better han the rest. Since you are getting a good picture otherwise, then I would say it's worth fiddling with to keep it. |
