Title: JPAC
Post by: presicion25 on July 29, 2010, 08:30:18 am

Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this. I recently put  PC into a candy cab I have. However, when I boot it, the split signal from the JPAC shows up, then the screen turns to scrambled blue. I dont have the PC booting directly into MAME, does anyone think thats the problem?  ???

Or could it possibly be my VGA card. The motherboard is from an HP built in 2004. Its got a 2.6ghz processor and 512mb RAM.

Im stumped here.  :-[  If I cant get it to work, I may use it for a bartop project.

What resolution/horizontal refresh are you running at ? What kind of monitor do you have ?

The cab im using is a Crowin Case, its a Korean Candy Cab. the monitor is made by Samsung and I believe its a 15KHZ monitor, or thats what I was told. I thought maybe it s got to do with the fact im not booting directly to mame. But im not sure.

Heres my exact cab:

OK, so do you have your video card set up to drive at 15Khz ?

You guys are probably right. Im running whatever the motherboard came with and the vga card may not be enough.

Im going to try tonight to see if i can set the vga to run at 15khz, as soon i figure it out lol

Ive never heard of soft15 but ive seen a newer vga card for sale on ultimarc.

Thanx for you guys help though.   ;D

Does anyone know where I can get any pre-made boxes for building a controller of my own? Im not good at wood working.  :-[

soft 15 is discussed here, in the software subforum. it allows a wide range of cards to do what the arcade VGA does, and thats output at 15hz
