Title: K7400 vs D9200 with ArcadeVGA
Post by: Santoro on March 16, 2004, 10:54:13 am

I am starting my second cab.  Based on the rave reviews of the masses here, I will probably use an ArcadeVGA card.

Given the following facts:

*Windows GUI will not be used often if at all - only Mamewah or some other FE.
*25" vs 27" is not a differentiator for me

Is there any other benefit of the D9200 over the K7400?

Also, does anyone know how the power is supplied to the K7400?

Thanks
Dave

I use an ArcadeVGA and a Wells Gardner 25k7191 standard res monitor.  Windows and windows games will probably look a lot better on the D9200 as they don't have to be run in interlaced mode (but you said you don't care about Windows games).

Hmmm...  I would assume that vector games like Asteroids, Tempest, and Star Wars would look better because you can run in a higher native resolution without interlacing.  Also, medium resolution games like 720 should look better because they won't need to be interlaced.

Note that I haven't seen a 9200 in action, but I know that these are limitations of the 7191.

I use a plug that I cut off of an extension cord which I attached to an isolation transformer which is then run to the monitor's power wires.
