Possible ArcadeVGA Alternative ??
« on: November 14, 2010, 04:35:38 pm »
Could the linked item be a possible alternative to an ArcadeVGA card from Ultimarc?

VGA to CGA

If so would you still need a GPU or a MOBO with onboard graphics?

Hi Grant,

Just looking for a cheaper alternative to an ArcadeVGA card, I take it that it's not then.

you can use use many different cards as long as they can support lower res settings with the soft 15k

in any case those converters are a last case scenario-believe me

To be honest I thought the ArcadeVGA card route was my only choice, but that looks like a nifty peice of software I'll definitely use instead with a JPac.
Thanks for the info.

It's like price-shopping or medical diagnosis...if you don't like it, look for another one. It helps to know what you're looking for...and at....though.

Man,,,
That converter is like a Cadillac... It does everything...
And the price is up there too...
There are cheaper converters out there..
..
An Arcade Game Distributor's parts counter can get you one.
