Wells-Gardner K7200 w/ ArcadeVGA HELP!!

[NJEmulator]

im in the process of setting up my first Mame Cab. and need some help,  ive read as much info about the WG monitors as i can and really like the 9200.  I cant go with this monitor though due to size constraints and budget.

so ive decided on the 19" 7200 model instead.  Does this model have direct input to the Ultimarc ArcadeVGA?

Im aware that the 9200 outputs to all 3 major H freq. which is to me very attractive in terms of ease of use but the 7200 only does 15.76Khz H freq.
If i go with the 7200 will i still be able to use .chd files in mame such as Area 51?  Will i be able to also use ActLabs light gun?

I have also read about the WG U3100 and see that it only does 25khz. H freq which could cause some problems with older games displaying properly.  Is this true?

One more thing, has anybody figured out if the 3100 works with ArcadeVGA?  It seems to me that if this monitor works with ArcadeVGA then it would be a decent alternative to the 9200 since i cant go with that (maybe next time )

Thanks for the help guys.

The ArcadeVGA card has 15khz output only.  So people using the 9200 aren't using their monitor to their full potential if they have an ArcadeVGA!

As far as CHD files working with any monitor.. That's why you're getting the ArcadeVGA in the first place, isn't it? Any H freq will be converted to 15khz for the arcade monitor!!!! Now ain't that sweet!?!??

As far as the gun goes.. the one currently being sold is for PC monitors only.  A TV (arcade) one is in the works and should come out later on in the year.

the tv one is already here.

would i still be able to use basic windows apps?

thanks, i was unaware that games such as Area 51 still outputs at 15Khz.

This is WRONG... and not TRUE.

If people are using the ArcadeVGA card with the 9200 they ARE using their monitor to it's fullest potential.

There is a utility to have the AVGA NOT to use interlaced modes for the SVGA modes for people with 9200's and the like.

So the beauty there would be that the 9200 would display all the classics in it's native resolution at 15khz, but still could display windows/pc games/vector mame games in sharper regular SVGA 30khz modes.  gabish?!

With that correction noted... let me go back and see what the o.p. wanted...

-> what was your other question again?  You can use Area51 on 15khz... The light gun issue is kinda sketchy ... I've heard*some* people have gotten the PC version of the guns to work with arcade VGA... but i haven't heard (or done it myself) definitavely if that's the case... so take that with a big grain of salt as it may be b.s.

When you buy your ArcadeVGA card get the breakout cable (or does it come with it?) and you basically hook up to the monitors RGB, -H sync , -V sync (or composite negative sync), and ground wires... and tada! (well there's probably a little more to it, but that's the basic idea)

Could you clarify what it is you want to know again?

The ArcadeVGA takes anything a PC monitor can display @ 640x480 and converts it to a format an Arcade monitor can display.

So any game, application, whatever you can see @ 640x480 (or lower) in Windows, you can see it on the monitor.
