Hi,
Ok heres the deal. I have 2 sitdown arcade, and I want to play US Championship V'ball(Jamma) with both arcade. The game is a 4 player game. I know how to wire the buttons but how do I get picture on the second arcade monitor? Should I split the jamma harness's red, green, and blue wire to the second arcade jamma harness? Will the picture quality be as good as the first monitor? Thanks

Theoretically that should work just fine.
But keep in mind you have to split all five lines......
RED, GREEN, BLUE, SYNC, and GROUND.
At worst you'll need to boost the signal a bit with something like Ultimarcs videoamp. (you wouldn't need the vga cable it comes with)http://www.ultimarc.com/vidamp.html (http://www.ultimarc.com/vidamp.html)
He has them without the vga port also, but you have to ask specifcally for it.
You would run the JAMMA leads into the input of the amp and then split the output to each monitor.
But order it through someone like divemaster127 if you're in the US.
I'd try it without first to see if the signal is strong enough without it.

do you think I might need a +12v to power up the monitor?

+12v ??
What model monitors do you have?
Do they already have power going to them ?

i think its a Sanwa monitor, so all I need to do is power up my second arcade and it should show excaty what is on the first monitor?
