is it possible to take a scart - chop the stick off and replace the wires with R,G,B from arcade monitor and then make it work? ? must there be something that keeps the Hertz down? or does that happen all by itself? i mean - if it's only R,G,B and sync plugged in then i don't think anything else is needed? am i wrong? * gimme' a good wack if am :) *

Home consoles run at 15khz like a standard res monitor so no problems there, but your arcade monitor might not take the composite sync, if not you can seperate the H sync and V sync from the composite sync by building a small circuit using the lm1881 chip.

ahh good to know :) " there will be no problems with the composite - talked to the guy i buyed my cab from - he've rebuilt several cabs like this one " same monitor " " but he did only mention that method.. :) " thanks for the info ;)

Almost all arcade monitors take composite sync, I believe Cave meant composite video, which some arcade monitors can take as sync. My WG 4901 couldn't take composite video as sync and needed the circuit he posted to work with PSX.

Yes, sorry i meant composite video, this is what comes thru the scart plug from the console, this can be split to give H sync and V sync and twisted together for composite sync
