Title: have I received a Faulty Arcade Vga or can I try something else
Post by: canardo on December 22, 2006, 04:40:05 pm
Hi,

Finally have the space to build an upright cabinet, so brought an electrocoin cabinet which I have refurbed and fitted with controls and a trackball,wired up to jamma standards all works great with my pcbs

Purchased all the kit from ultimarc, JPAC OptiPac and ArcadeVGA (pci express version)all of which as always came quickly and well packaged.

However the ArcadeVGA appears to be faulty

I am using with a MSI K8NGM2 which is an nforce 430 motherboard I have disabled the onboard 6150
I have tried connecting to both my arcade monitor via the jpac and via a pc monitor screenshots of which are included

Is there anything I can try or is it just simply a case of bad luck

the pc monitor works fine when the 6150 is enabled and the lcd used

Someone tell me theres is something I could try, if I had another pci express motherboard I would try that.

wanted to play over the xmas break!

That doesn't look too healthy to me  :-\

Where does the weird screen appear? is it from the start you boot up your pc? or in windows?
And what have you tried so far?
Maybe it's not inserted correctly or some connector is damaged or dirty?

that weird screen appears from the start

I have tried a lcd via the dvi port and the arcade monitor from the vga port

The onboard 6150 works fine with the pc monitor

I was hoping that maybe it was some sort of conflict
