Title: Need Urgent Blitz SportsStation Help! Thank you!
Post by: Slappy on April 23, 2004, 05:22:34 pm

Hello everyone.. Huge urgent question I have a Blitz SportsStation cabinet that I am converting to MAME.  I am having trouble getting my PC to sync up with the monitor.  I am using the jpac to receive the video signal from my PC.  The PC is using advancemame and I used advcfg to configure Arcade Medium EGA Resolution.  No matter what resolution I set, the screen still flips.  How do I fix this?

Thanks  

Kraig

I believe that use a nanano monitor if I remember.  You have a couple of options.  You can go either 15 or 24.  There should be a plug marked high and low.  High is 24 and low is standard 15.  If you choose high, (EGA) then you must get advcab's video to work.  I would setup the autoexec.bat to go driectly into your advcab directory and execute advcfg -advideo?(I forget) video.rc
You should then have a somewhat stable picture.  You might have to use the horizontal vertical holds.  Select the EGA (medium Rez) Monitor option and then save.
Edit your autoexec.bat again and go directly into advcab again and run advv -advideo video.rc   Setup some rez up.  Add the video to your config.sys and you should now have a stable dos screen.
