Title: Virtua Fighter 2 ---> Mame
Post by: Coffein on September 24, 2003, 04:53:18 pm: Hi All

I am just starting on a conversion projekt with my VF 2 cab. I will go with arcadeVGA since the NANAO 29" monitor is switchable from 25 khz to 15 khz.

My problem is, can i use the exsisting power supply ? I would also like to use the audio amplifier, because the speaker sound great and can play really loud and have a ok sound. Or should i make a pure PC solution inside with no use off the exsisting 12v supply and speaker amplifier ?

I get alot better picture than the Arcade Card since I am at a high resolution. The only problem is that on higher resolutions I get a little flicker with interlace issues. You might want to take a look at that route.

If i use the arcadeVGA will it be nescessary to use the Ultimarc video amplifier ?

I used Easy Mame Cab CD as base install. It has advmame and advmenu for Medium Resolution Monitors using a Trident Blade 64 Card. The card is 36.45 shipped.
I was able to program all resolution through Advmame without stretching for most games. It looks really nice, except you will have interlacing on a few games.

If you are going to use the Arcade VGA card you will need to switch the monitor to 15khz. You will not need a jpac, however it is easy to wire if you have one. The arcade VGA card is a very good card and I own one. I have not plugged the monitor straight from the pc. I do not know if it needs an amplifer. I doubt it does since the monitor is a newer type.
