| Converting an existing cabinet into a Mame cabinet...questions |
| (1/1) |
| journeyfan1977:
What is required to take an existing cabinet and convert it to a Mame? I'm on the look out for a cabinet with a 25"-27" monitor (working) I'm new to this and don't know what to get. Do I need an I-PAC, J-PAC, OPTI-PAC to hook up the buttons/joysticks to my computer? Has anyone done this with an existing cabinet (with a working monitor)? Also, if I can find a cab with a working monitor, what do I need to connect it to my PC? An Arcade VGA thingy? Do more modern monitors like Mortal Kombat run at 15khz? I know nothing about this stuff and need advice. Thanks! -Keith |

if you are looking to convert, then look for a JAMMA cab. then you can use a J-PAC and plug your pc straight in. more or less. from the maker: http://www.ultimarc.com/jpac1.html and we are all going to tell you this- don't be converting an old classic (basically most pre-jamma cabs). not if you want to keep any friends here :D |
