Should a J-Pac work with a Supergun?
« on: May 19, 2009, 03:35:32 pm »
Because mine doesn't give me anything via mine! I have an Arcade@Home Supergun and plugging in my J-Pac with console adaptors lights all the test LEDs up (so it should work) but no picture is produced on my TV screen... suggestions and feedback please!
 :cheers:

hmmm.  A J-pac on it's own does not create 15khz signals right?  I'm guessing that your supergun is expecting one and you are feeding it at least 31khz.

+1 for initial suspicion

More details about your setup please.

Let me know what you need to know and I'll let you know! ;D

I was on the assumption that with the console to J-Pac video leads from Ultimarc would convert the signal to 15Khz...? I understand a J-Pac with a PC alone wouldn't do this and the extra requirement of an ArcadeVGA or Soft15Khz would be needed... I did once get signs of life from the J-Pac by splitting the signal with a PC setup through my old Supergun set up (a Vogatek MKII)...
