CP Harness and ArcadeVGA Questions

ChadTower:

Be careful what cable you choose to make the breakout... I've been trying to make one for a week now from a VGA extension cable and it has gone about as well as playing in traffic.   :banghead:

The more I think about all the head ache :banghead: it seems to be to use an existing video card.

The Arcade VGA is looking like a bargain.

Arcade VGA into a Jpac to the arcade monitor running 15khz.

Sounds like added cost but seems like a no brainer.  It also seems like it is the easiest way as well.

Anyone else have this set up?  I might have to go this route if and when I convert over my golden tee 99 cabinet. 

Thanks

I am also in the process of modding an existing cabinet to MAME. Mine is a two-player TMNT cabinet.

My Jamma Harness has the pinouts for three buttons each for P1 and P2. I have been doing a ton of research on this, and with some help here on the boards, I am just going to get the J-Pac, and wire the extra buttons to that. Then I will just use the ArcadeVGA to the J-Pac, that way I know I don't damage the monitor. And the ArcadeVGA will play all MAME games with no issues. Its a no-brainer for me.

Be sure to post some pics!

It's what I do with mine.

The JPAC, yes, but the arcadeVGA I don't see as a necessity. Isn't one feature of the JPAC to screen out modes your monitor isn't capable of?
