Easiest way to hook up Dreamcast to Arcade cabinet
CheffoJeffo:
You are going to have R/G/B, Video Ground and at least one Sync (negative composite), depending on your monitor.
What is your monitor ?
ctozzi:
the arcade connector goes in this order.
RED
GREEN
BLUE
GROUND
Sync
the brown is sometimes the blue, the ground is black and thw white is sync.

While I agree that you are probably right in this case, you really can't rely on wire colours.
I have a G07 (as pulled from the cab) on my bench right now where the individual wire colours bear no resemblance to "reality".
Also important to understand the difference between positive and negative, hori and vertical syncs and to know what your source expects (although likely negative composite in this case), so you don't waste time trying to sync different signals.
Not trying to be pedantic, just trying to be clear in case others read the thread and wonder why stuff didn't work for them.
ctozzi:
that's cool I have the same connector on 3 of my cabs so i fugured it's exactly the same, but could be a bit different, however he only has 1 sync wire.
Visitor Q:
Emulator would be the easiest way for me. ;)
