Yes, that is it  :)

Your monitor is an Intervideo.

Thanx!
Do u or anyone know,if they make a good Mame monitor?
Would u suggest a Jpac or an ArcadeVga card?
Or both of them to run it?
I have no way of testing it, except if I buy a jamma board and plug it into the machine.
Or order one of the 2 above...
Anyway, the first question is my main one!
Because if the Intervideo doesnt work well with my PC, its pointless ...

Is it possible to do this VGA to Arcade Monitor hack like described on this page:
http://dragonsden.emuunlim.com/ddvgatutl.htm (http://dragonsden.emuunlim.com/ddvgatutl.htm)

He took a monitor extension cable and connected it from a, as i understand normal, graphic card to the Arcade monitor.
In connection with ArcadeOS or advanvemame would that be possible to do for me?
I dont fully get what he exactly does, but i think its worth a try.
Would that be an alternative to a J-Pac?

Whats the best solution?
cheap would be nice ;-)
Please post some suggestions!
Thanx...

here is another pic of the chassis, just to make sure, this really is an Intervideo moinitor(didnt find anything on them though =()

BTW, yeah you should have no problem hacking a normal vga cable to the r,g,b,sync of the monitor.  You should find plenty of diagrams on here and the web to show you just which pins you want...
  If your gonna use a 'normal' graphics card, you'll need one that can output at 15khz.  I use an old ati rage128 in one of my cabs with AdvanceMame, and AdvanceCab...You'll need to run some kinda software like this, or Powerstrip to adjust the videocard rates.
 A far easier way to go is get Ultimarc's ArcadeVga card.


hope that helps
