Title: Help Blitz 99 dedicated into MK4 monitor sync hookup questions video inside.
Post by: ctozzi on November 05, 2008, 01:01:22 pm
So I got a smoking deal on a dedicated Blitz 99 cabinet last week and need some help hooking up the monitor to accept a Jamma harness. I made a video below showing the issue I'm having. Pretty sure it's something to do with the Sync wire hookup.
Few notes:
Monitor- medium resolution Wells Gardner M2575-U4TR07J
Chassis replacement- K7500
No isolation transformer needed.

MK4 is a standard resolution game.

Yes i realize that so is it not possible to display it on a medium ? maybe flipping a dipswitch ? If not its not a big deal just was fooling around with this cabinet neways. I'm gonna make it a golden tee fore.

No, it's not possible unless the game itself is switchable between standard and medium resolution. And I would not try it too many times until you know for sure, could damage your monitor.

Thank you. Any Medium resolution Jamma game will work right ?
How about a gauntlet legends or gauntlet dark legacy PCB ? should be cool right ?

Dedicated Blitz 99 should have a U5000 monitor in it.  That's a switchable monitor, so you could configure it for standard res.  Are you sure you have a K7500?  I guess it is possible they shipped them with other monitors, or perhaps you do have a replacement as U5000s often crap out.

MK4 and Blitz 99 are both JAMMA, though a dedicated Blitz would have 49-ways, so you'd need to remove the I-40 board (if you have a 4 player CP) and replace the sticks with 8-ways.  Also, the 4th player harness will go unused as the P3 harness gets used as the kick harness.

It has a WG M2575-U4TR07J  is that switchable ? and if it is any idea on how to switch the resolutions ? is there a dip switch or something ?

If that's what's in there, then it's a K7500 and is not switchable.
