Title: Any way of adding VGA to a Wells Gardner 25K7191 and not require ArcadeVGA?
Post by: eastbayarb on April 10, 2006, 01:42:47 am

I may be getting a Wells Gardner 25K7191 but I wanna know is there any way to add VGA connector to it without the need for an ArcadeVGA card on my PC?
I would also like to use this monitor with my Dreamcast (3rd Party VGA adaptor) and XBOX (VD-Z3 component to VGA transcoder)...

thanx for any advice! I already did a google search and search on these forums.

P.S. I don't think it is gonna come with a power cord so any help on plugging this into a standard power outlet would be helpful!

Use either an Ultimarc video amp or a J-PAC.

Peale,

are you saying that the JPAC will let me plug any PC video card to my arcade monitor (or any VGA device)?

Unfortunately, the monitor I am getting doesnt have a JAMMA connector

WARNING: That monitor MUST be connected to an isolation transformer!

Do NOT attempt to plug the monitor directly to a wall outlet or considerable damage will result not only to the monitor, but to other devices connected to the monitor.

Those are 31.5k Signals, you cannot display those on a standard cga monitor.

Modify the dreamcast adaptor to do 15k and order the xbox adapter from ultimarc.

The only other option is using a transcoder to covert all the 31.5k signals down to 15k.
