I am going to burn my Cab I'm building!!!
BigDaddyE:
Ok. 85% done with my Mame cab.
I am in the process of getting the CPU to talk to the monitor.
I have a brand new 27" curved CRT from Nieman. I have the Ultimarc Arcade VGA card to convert the signals to 15.
I am getting a terrible picture and a picture that is vertically split 3/4, 1/4. I can't move the black bar left or right. :badmood: :banghead:
Both Andy and Rick think I am some dumb *** because I can't figure out what the heck is going on. Anyone see this before? Any ideas beside a can of lighter fluid and some hotdogs?
I am getting really upset. A nice little project slowly going to heck. :angry:
Thanks for your input.

Horizontal Shift / Horizontal Hold a tad on the monitor itself ?
Jumpers and settings on the ArcadeVGA correct ? 15/31
What resolutions are you trying ?
Is it degaussing properly ?
What suggestions did Andy and Rick give you already?
ivwshane:
I've seen that issue before and it's usually related to having an incorrect/unsupported resolution.
Since you can see the screen kind of, right click some where on the desktop and go to properties, then the settings tab, and select a lower resolution.
BigDaddyE:
No jumpers on the card itself, if the jumpersettings are done through the cpu,I can't even see the sceeen, how am I to set the jumpers?
No idea how to degauss.Thought that might be it, but there are too many other issues (horizontal will not hold, vertical is a slow roll)
I think you are talking about using the knobs on the yoke for horizontal shift and hold right? I was thinking I might have to try that.
Working at the lowest resolution XP allows. Did this by installing the old video card and going through my lcd. Switched the settings, swapped the cards and montitors and...... same thing, maybe even a little worse.
UUhg.

Isn't the lowest resolution XP uses 800x600 unless you dig into the advanced tab? To me this looks like some kind of resolution/refresh problem. Hook up a regular PC monitor to the pc, go into the adapter tab in advanced settings, click list all modes, and select 640x480, 24-bit, 60 Hz (make sure you choose 60 Hz and not 75 Hz). Then hook the Neiman monitor back up and see how it goes.
