Giant, heavy monitor? Virtual-On??  You've got my attention!   ;D

Is that an X-Box on top? I'm not familiar with an xbox verision of Virtual-On... did I miss something?

(goes to Google...) Well, look at that... ! Are you doing a 2-player dedicated setup (with gameplay over Live)??

/me needs more info like NOW.  :cheers:

That is an Xbox 360 running Virtual On 4 Force.  It's a Japanese release, but it is region free, and works on unmodded US 360's...

The monitor is a XC-2930C, 29" Mitsubishi presentation monitor.

I have the 360 hooked up with a VGA cable, and then a VGA to BNC adapter, and then to the RGB BNC plugs on the monitor.

Oh, no, it's not.  The UA2 has a PC, and a PC only.  This is going to be it's own stand-alone cab.  I'm going to post some more pics of parts I've acquired for it.  It's taken about a year to find what I wanted.

I was a full sega fanatic in the 90s and still hated Virtua On.  Gave this one a whirl - no exception.

You play on the original arcade game?

I know VO is one of those games people either love or hate... there seems to be no middle ground.

Well, got the monitor upstairs yesterday with some help from my brother...  that sucker is heavy (the monitor, not my brother)!

I'll take some more pics later today of other stuff I've got for it.

Are you converting the arcade sticks to analogue, or does the game work fine with digital input?

Works just fine with digital input.

There are several controller modes, the one I'll be utilizing uses the D-Pad for the left stick, buttons A,B,X,Y for the right stick, and the bumper and trigger buttons for the turbos and fires.  I'll be hacking a MadCatz fightpad for this, will be perfect for the job.

Looks damn good, especially on this monitor!   :droid 

I'll try to capture some better photos with my real camera so you can see how nice it is.

I just set it to normal mode (not widescreen) and had to find a resolution that worked well with my monitor.
