Long time viewer, first time poster.
Been planning out my cab for a while (already well underway building my second control panel prototype) and had been looking at pulling a 26 or 27" widescreen LCD in my cab. I'm not really concerned with the 'authentic' look of a crt and no-one makes big 4:3 LCD monitors unfortunately.
My current sketchup plans have the monitior mounted sideways, but after seeing the awesome KI cab with the vertical monitor I am re-considering and thinking about putting the LCD in vertically - which will be awesome for a lot of the arcade games I love.
My question is though, what options do I have for running console games? A PC will be my primary video source, but I have a number of DC and PS1/PS2 games I would like to play also (using original hardware/CDs). Does anyone have a solution for rotating their output? My only thought is to connect a capture card to the PC and rotate the image on the PC video output, but I am concerned that there will be too much lag. Anyone tried this or done something better?
Thanks
