Title: Please, please help me!! I don't know how to do this?!
Post by: zzaz3 on August 16, 2009, 11:37:28 pm
I just made a VGA breakout cable and now I have no idea how to output onto the arcade monitor.  I've tried soft-15khz, but I can't tell if it's actually working or not?  All I see when I connect it into the monitor is a wave-y green screen.

In fact, I'm not ever sure if my monitor is 15khz.  It's a Sanyo 20-EZV from a Nintendo cabinet.  I've already set it up to run without inverting the colors.  I just need to configure my computer to output everything to that monitor.

I don't have arcadeVGA and I'm probably not going to buy it anytime soon.  I've read that it's possible without it.  But I'm not sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!  Thank you!

you need to set your resoultion to under 640x480 and  at the lowest refresh rate possible
then adjust the sync on the monitor using the pots on the chassis board
here is a pic of the ez 20 controll sheet

I'm in Georgia, near Atlanta. 

I guess I'd be willing to trade.  What size is your monitor and how old is it?

actually, the computer I was using for this cab wont boot now for some reason.  Just my luck.  I thought I was so close...  Guess I'll just have to wait a little bit longer to set it up. 

Thanks for the help though!  Should come in handy by the time I get this sucker fixed.
