Title: Street Fighter 4 Vewlix Cabinet LCD with old CPS2 games...input delay question
Post by: Gaidensaga on January 20, 2011, 06:53:45 pm
I've been thinking of picking up this SF4 Vewlix cabinet: http://www.highwaygames.com/products/view.php?id=3685 (http://www.highwaygames.com/products/view.php?id=3685)

I haven't been able to find much information regarding the LCDs used on the Vewlix cabinets. I was curious if anyone had purchased one of these cabinets and attempted to play their old CPS1 or CPS2 arcade boards on them. More specifically, I wanted to know if you experienced any input delay (from the LCD) as opposed to playing the older games on a standard CRT monitor/TV.

At the moment, I currently have a supergun using the JROK encoder to play my CPS2 Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo board via a CRT. I also tried using this VGA encoder: (http://www.jammaboards.com/store/cga/ega/yuv-to-vga-converter-pcb-gbs-8220/prod_291.html (http://www.jammaboards.com/store/cga/ega/yuv-to-vga-converter-pcb-gbs-8220/prod_291.html)) with an Asus VH236H LCD monitor and experienced some slight input delay compared to the CRT route.  Could this delay be removed by an adequate rgb vga upscaler such as the old XRGB2?

The Vewlix likely has a digital input in the form of DVI or HDMI since it's running on PC based hardware anyway.  It's not terribly likely that it has any other inputs as it's a purpose built LCD panel rather than a decased television.  It could have no other analog TV inputs though it's not impossible that it would have that.  I wouldn't bank on it though.
