Hey all! It's been a long time since I have been here, but it's great to see this place still going strong.
I am a former owner of an upright but have been without for a few years. I recently got a hold of a mint Arcade Legends V1 cabinet, working great.
I am tired of being limited, so it's time for MAME. I am sure to be back for Hyperspin help, but for now, I just wneed help on getting the hardware in.
I will grab an ArcadeVGA card for sure, but from there, what is best to do? The monitor works great, so should I be looking to get a J-pac?
I would like to use the trackball. I think that I saw something about a HAPP adapter that interfaces it as a mouse in windows. Will this work in MAME correctly? I can just use this and not buy the Ultimarc trackball input, right?
SO I guess what I need to know is... is this the right list of things to get?
Arcade VGA
J-Pac
Happ Controls trackball / mouse interface
Sorry for the noob-ish questions. It has been a while.

First you should see if your installed monitor is VGA. Does it have a VGA plug on it?
Also, I might be interested in purchasing your leftovers from the conversion.

hey i also have a arcade legends and iam trying to convert it, did you get yours running

I have had it working but still having issues with the video. Andy from Ultimarc says its a H-Hold issue with the monitor, but I dont have an adjustment for that on mine. Frustrated and want to catch it on fire.

So I was able to figure out the problem. The adjustment for the H-Hold is not located near the rest of the adjustments. After figuring that out the machine is working flawlessly using the ArcadeVGA 5000 and Jpac!
Thank you :notworthy: Andy from Ultimarc!
Everything is working perfectly!!! :cheers: :applaud: ;D
