jamma to monitor question
« on: December 19, 2011, 06:58:13 pm »
Hi

New to the board. I have a CA&G monitor model number VI 2500 . I have a jamma loom bought to connect up buttons pc etc. The connection on the monitor board has 6 pins but the jamma connector has only 5 can there be an adapter bought to connect or have I bought the wrong  loom. I have attached pics as someone might be able to help

Thanks

Gerry

I'm pretty sure you just tie pins 5 and 6 together on the chassis but someone more knowledgeable than me should confirm this.

you can but normally it just uses the h.sync

on that page you need RGB lead (6 way green plug) complete with wires. Used. £4.20 HAN012

thanks grantspain very much for your help on this, so all I do when I get that lead is join up the wires and leave the vs pin free?

Will a 5 pin jamma connector work on a pc crt vga connector? I have an Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 arcade and want to get a new monitor. So.... will a standard pc vga monitor work?
many thanks
