Mine's a Naki, but I don't need to open it so I don't know.

I'm sure you have this already but here you go just in case:

Greets,
     Well I've got a Naki VGA box (the one with the blue dome looking thingy type shape...yhea I'm educated :-) ).  Anyways if this helps any its not the white wire...so count seven from the other side.  That did it for me.  I checked it with my computer monitor so that's the correct one (ie had no picture)  Now my only problem is a sync issue with my Arcade Monitor+dreamcast...though it works fine with mame+arcadeVGA...the image rolls and the image is shifted way over such that it starts in the middle and carries over to the other side...kidna like "word-wrap" gone bad...any thoughts?

Are you using the composite sync input of your arcade monitor only?  If so then you need to twist together the Hor and Vert syncs coming out of the VGA box  and connect it to the composite sync connection.

But all monitors I've seen have seperate Hor and Vert inputs, so just match them up with the output of the vga box.
