Title: MultiJAMMA on dual res monitor
Post by: TravistyOJ on September 22, 2005, 08:38:56 am

I have a virtua fighter cab that has a dual res Nanao MS8-26SU monitor.  I have some med res and low res games i want to put in it, ala MultiJAMMA.

Has anyone done this before? Are there any potential problems with this?  Say the last game I play is Med res, and i start it up with my monitor as low res, will that screw up my monitor?

I had the same monitor and used to switch out boards left and right. It auto switches based on the signal being thrown at it.

I have the same monitor and some wires have to be switched to go from EGA to CGA, I'm almost certain.  I can double check.

On my monitor, I have to actually unplug and replug a set of wires to change the res.  See the plug in the middle...
