Title: Convert CGA to VGA
Post by: Sarver Systems on October 08, 2014, 03:40:28 pm

I'm looking for a small inexpensive board to convert a standard arcade game video output, such as defender, ms.pac, galaga, etc to run on an LCD.

I'm finalizing a jamma tester that will have an onboard LCD. I just can't find a board that I can use to plug into the video-out on the cabinet I am testing.

I can find all kinds of VGA to CGA boards, but no CGA to VGA.

It looks like a CGA/EGA/YUV to VGA Arcade HD-Converter PCB (GBS-8220) should do it nicely!

I'm hoping to be able to test monitors and various arcade boards (via adapters) to the built-in jamma harness.

Basically, I'll need a way to connect ANY monitor to ANY arcade board.

I know its a big task, but I think I can do it.
