As far as I know, the D9500 will not work.  I wouldn't be suprised if all LCDs and Digital Monitors don't work with MCR games like Spy Hunter.

Sorry, I don't know of a good replacement as I don't have a Spy Hunter.

I know for a fact a 4600 and 4900 will work... I have a 4900 in my Tron, which is MCR. And my friend has a 4600 in his SpyHunter.

If I had to make a recommendation... I'd go with a 4600. Parts are easier to find and they seem to behave a little better.

Well, with MCRs there is NO guarantee that anything will or won't work. If you want to find a long list of horror stories, google "MCR sync issue" or "Spy Hunter sync problem" and you'll see countless instances of people struggling to get their monitors to sync after a replacement, myself included.

Still, if someone has reported success, I'd favor those first when choosing a monitor. Those MCR cabs are crazy fickle.

I'm still trying to find a way to get my cockpit Spy Hunter to be compatible with the LCD I installed in it, yes I installed it before realizing that it would not work, and now there's no turning back for me.  There has to be a device to standardize or at least make similar to other arcades that fickle signal for use on an LCD?

Yes, I believe so, but which one?  I've tried 2 cheap ones and had no luck, next I want to try this one from converters.tv, unfortunately it is $435:
